One of our adopters lost her battle with mental illness. I'm very thankful for JPAS for calling me. All four desperately need vet care. I have an appointment for all Wednesday at Maple if we can fundraise. Im guessing the bill will be close to $2,000. You can call them at 504-866-6316 Saturday 8-12 and Monday/Tuesday 8-5.

Anyone is welcome to message for the address. Please let me know if you have any questions. If anyone has, dry eye drops, denamarin or prescription diet food, we can use.
All four need full bloodwork, urinalysis, heartworm test, and exam.
The most urgent and oldest is Lola, a Maltese. She's 14. She has a growth on her neck. It smells like it's rotting. I definitely see infection. She has discharge from one eye. Our Mississippi vet glanced and thought dry eye. She is pawing at the eye where it hurts. She has also scratched a growth on the top of her head. She has one infected tooth. She'll need a dry eye test and to see if it's scratched. She'll need eye drops and antibiotics. She needed cerenia, fluids, and appetite stimulant to eat. Hopefully, it's just the stress. I had considered bathing her, but I don't feel comfortable until her exam. She's missing her bottom jaw from not getting dental care. Hopefully, she's a surgerical candidate. Her previous exams said she was overweight and she doesn't seem that big. Lost weight is maybe a concern.
Jax is 12 and the long hair chihuahua. He has one infected tooth. He's also missing his bottom jaw from not getting dental care. He constantly licks, but it's not the same side as the tooth. Something must be painful. Maybe a fistula. I'm worried about a heart issue. He has a funny sounding bark. When he got frustrated, his tongue turned purple. His hair is matted, and he's itchy. He was happy with me once he learned I give good scratches. I don't believe the vet will be able to examine his mouth. He desperately needs a diet.
Bobo is 12 and the darker chihuahua. When he got frustrated, his tongue turned purple. His previous bloodwork showed high liver issues. He's itchy. He desperately needs a diet. He needs a dental. He was such a happy dog previously. Hopefully, I can get him trusting people again.
Ollie is 9 and the smallest chihuahua. He's pretty angry, so I wasn't able to really examine him. He seriously never met a stranger, when he was with me. Jax doesn't want Ollie to eat, which isn't helping. It's probably the reason he's not big like the rest. You can tell he's licking himself as his hair is discolored. He needs a dental.
