Please see more under About and her Story. Rescuing seniors is rewarding, yet heartbreaking. As many of you know, Jezzablle has been fighting a mysterious infection since her dental surgery, but it is not related to the surgery itself which went very well with 6 teeth extracted. Her mouth is totally healed now with no signs of any infection or abscesses. I took her to Neel vet last night and she i
s now in ICU. The general consensus is a bacterial infection that broke through her gums and has gone systemic, but we haven’t found the source yet. Nothing is explaining the ongoing excruciating pain and absolute lack of improvement even with the antibiotics and heavy pain meds I have been giving her. She stopped using her left rear leg a few days ago (we think nerve related) and you can barely touch her hind area without her crying out. She can't sit due to her tail pain and when stands she holds her leg in the air. She's only comfortable (moderately so) when laying down. Her fever temperature of 106 has reduced to a normal 101, thank God. Her bloodwork still shows infection with a white blood cell count of 34,000 (down from 36,000), but there are no other elevations to point us in a specific direction. She is now on a morphine/lidocaine drip to help control pain, but even that isn't covering it all and this morning she refused food. She never, ever refuses food...
I AM USING THIS PAGE AS A PLATFORM FOR FINANCIAL HELP. I used GoFundMe for her dental surgery and the fees are outrageous so I chose to do it this way. I've put an additional $400 into trying to figure this out with the Animal Wellness Center of OKC and still owe them $200. I simply do not have the funds to help her and don't want to put her to sleep based on that. She's only 11 and the puppy of the Beagle Bungalow Retirement Home. I just lost Brad - I'm not prepared to lose another so soon. I have included the quote for treatment as photos on the page. It will continue to rise as long as she stays in ICU. If you can help in any way, Jezz and I would be eternally grateful. I'm begging.
