Indy Imm's diary

Wednesday, October 26, 2022. My final entry.

I tried, really I did. But I just couldn't hold on any longer. I want you all to know that you showed me how kind humans can be. That was something I never experienced before. All the outpouring of love you all showed me tells me that there are some wonderful people out there. I am going to go to heaven now. Just know that I will be free from pain and will be romping through the biggest dog park around. I bet it will look just like yours. I know there will be other dogs there that I will get to play with. Don't be sad, these last few days were the best of my life. Thank you all for your love. Until we meet again.

Indy

Indy passed away at approximately 11:40pm. The Dog Park at Immanuel & Indy Dog Park Co. would like to thank everyone for their donations, love and prayers for Indy. She will be missed.

Please pray for me. They had to stop my blood transfusion 3 hours into a 4 hour transfusion because my heart rate dropped. My blood pressure is also low. They gave me atropine to help bring it up, but it is not working like they hoped it would. They can't figure out what is wrong with me. My blood work looks good. Everything is normal except the low heart rate and my blood pressure. I have no energy. They wonder if I am just giving up or my body just may be giving out from the malnourishment. I am going to rest some more.

I don't really feel any better today. The vet lady says I look "dull." I guess if she means I don't feel like getting up and moving around, she is right. She told the dog park people that I need something called a blood transfusion. I guess I am not making any red blood cells, even though I am eating everything they put in front of me. I guess I am at 19 now, and was at 22 with 35 being normal. They told the vet to give me the transfusion so that I can get better faster. I am so glad they love me. I hope to feel better after they do this thing to me. I don't know how it works, but I am ready to feel better and I am definitely ready to go to my new home.

Oh, one other thing, I guess I got a thank you note from the Indianapolis Animal Care Services, the shelter. It said because I went to the vet, there was an extra cage for another dog that might need it and that means everything for the other dog. All I can say is that thanks goes to all the people helping me...from the vet clinic, the dog park people and all the people sharing there financial gifts and their prayers for me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I am going to rest some more so I can get better. More later, dear diary.

Today I feel so tired. I don't know what is wrong with me. I was feeling so much better. The nice people at the vet clinic noticed that I wasn't feeling very good. They took my temperature and blood pressure and said both was low. I don't know what that means but they seemed to know. They gave me what was called a fluid bolus (I think) and then after that put me on maintenance fluids. I guess I was dehydrated, whatever that means. On the good side I get to eat a little bit more today than before. They said I was ravenous. I don't know what that means, but if it means that I am hungry and want to eat, they would be right. I haven't had much food in a long time, I am going to get what I can while I can. These nice people that are at the clinic, bring me food. I wish it was more, but they keep telling me, "don't worry you will get more later". So I am going to trust them. It is so nice to know that there are humans that care for dogs. I did not know they existed, but all of a sudden there are bunches of them all around me and at my dog park that love me. I just want to give everyone licks. All those taking care of me, supporting me with money and prayers and everyone wishing me well. Well, I am so tired now. They are telling me to get some rest, so I think I will close my eyes now and take a nap. Night night.

Monday, October 24, 2022 night time!

I am so excited. They told me that all of my dog park humans put together a go fund me. I guess that is where they raise money to help someone. This time I am the someone. I feel really loved. Thank you to all those who donate, all those who pray for me and all of those who want to but can't. I feel so loved. Here is the go fund me link if you want to help.

Today I got my first toy. It is Saturn. It squeaks and is thin. I can lay my head on it like a little pillow. They love me enough to get me a toy. Man things are looking up. I met three other people today. Two of them were little like me. I guess my numbers still are not stable yet. I guess I am still having some refeeding syndrome issues what ever that means. But they take good care of me here. I get to watch tv. Well that's enough for today. More pictures.

Yay!!! I have a name!!! That means that they LOVE ME!!!!! My name is Indy (named after Indy Dog Park Co) IMM (pronounced em, named after The Dog Park at Immanuel). Indy Imm, but you can call me Indy for short. Today I met some people from the dog park today. They said that all the dog park people love me very much. I guess I am the main topic of something they call a "chat thread" and they are all rooting for me. That makes me feel good that finally someone loves me. There are so many people at the vet clinic and at the dog park that want me to be ok and love me very much. There has been a lot of talking about electrolytes not stabilizing and something called refeeding syndrome and other things that they are not sure about but they want to take care of my symptoms first which I guess means getting me food first.. I think my albumen (what ever that is ) needs a bit of work as well. But this sound much better than being sent to a shelter and being euthanized ... I don't know what that means but it sounds pretty scary. But anyway, here are some more pictures of me. My dog park friends like to take pictures of me to share with the others on that chat thread thing!

I don't remember a lot about this day. I woke up at the place they left me in the morning and boy did it look really cool. If I just had strength, I would have had a blast. But I was just too weak. The visitors to the park found me. They said I could barely take a couple of steps before falling over. They were really concerned so they took me to the emergency vet clinic where they signed a Good Samaritan form - which meant that the clinic would make me well enough to send to a shelter. Then the visitors called the dog park people - did I mention that the park I was left was a dog park. What good luck. It is called "The Dog Park at Immanuel", but when they made the call, things started moving fast. The people in charge of the dog park -Indy Dog Park Co. - told the vet people to take good care of me. I got food and medicine to help make me feel better. The only thing I really did not like is that they stuck needles in my doggie legs. The are using that to take blood from me and to give me fluids. One of the dog park people, Emily, came by to check on me but I was too weak to be seen. They told her I was also covered in fleas (no wonder I was so itchy) and they were concerned about flea anemia. Well I am so glad they want to help me. I am getting really tired again so I am done for today. But here are some pictures - one of the dog park I was found at, and one is me when they found me.

Oh, I am so weak. I can't walk and I can barely stand for short periods of time. Someone picked me up tonight and carried me away. I don't know where they took me. It is dark outside and I was so tired. They unlocked a gate and put me in a big place, but I was so tired I could not explore. I guess they left food with me but I was not able to eat it. Whoever you were, you probably saved my life. Thank you.
