Update on Star: It turns out she had what’s called Water Intoxication. A condition that occurs from drinking too much water, upsetting electrolyte balances.
Drinking too much water can decrease sodium in the blood to dangerously low levels, causing life-threatening problems.
Ataxia, nausea, and vomiting are symptoms. Severe cases can cause seizures, coma, and death.
As the weather warms up this is a great reminder how important it is to monitor your dogs around bodies of water and make sure they aren’t drinking to much especially when playing fetch in water.
Star has thankfully made a full recovery and although thousands of dollars were spent in vet bills, her parents are very happy she pulled through!
They are at the fun stage now where they want to explore and play!
Story time! I got a call earlier this month that someone had adopted a dog from a senior dog rescue and they did an embark DNA test on that dog. The results were 100 percent border collie and she was related more than 50% to a couple of my pups! The new owner tracked me down through my website and got in contact. I dug and dug, looking through all my records and spreadsheets trying to match what her vet said through dental ID to how old this dog was and to how long I had been breeding. Finally the new owner sent me a picture of the dog and I instantly recognized her. Its PANDA! Stars mom! She was found wondering the streets, not dead like her old owner had told me when I asked about her in September. Her former owner didn’t go looking for her, didn’t even care apparently. I instantly offered to take her and give her a home but the new owner has fallen in love and obviously she has the best life she could. What a crazy tale and an amazing ending. From a no name found dog all the way to a named, full pedigree, well known ancestor of many of RVF Border collie’s puppies. Enjoy your new life Panda, I’m so happy to know you ❤️❤️
