We lost our little Mask/Angel this morning at 10.10.
She couldn't stand but took her meds then faded away. Lianta & I were both with her. She is now at rest and away from the stress and pain her short life gave her.
I then took the other two babies back to the clinic on an emergency appointment where they were both put on a drip. Lianta buried our little Angel next to Neesh.
Little Ginger named by Lianta (thank you Lea for being wonderful today) has had seizures all evening, her breathing is very shallow, fading. Tonight she is wrapped up and is as comfortable as possible.
The smaller white pup who we also believe is deaf has shown improvement this evening, she took her drip out all by herself, she has eaten alone and drank a little water. She is not out of the woods yet but she is fighting.
The pups are isolated which has proven difficult as we are more than full.
The second pup has shown symptoms of Distemper, her seizures lasting for long periods of time. As you will know this is very contagious so every precaution has been put in place to keep the other dogs safe. All our dogs are vaccinated for distemper as standard however we can not risk their well-being.
We have protective shoe covers when dealing with ALL the pups and change our clothes after meds and clean up.
The symptoms resemble Distemper however they also resemble toxins in their bodies, something they ate maybe. At this point we can not be 100% sure why the pups have deteriorated so quickly.
So sorry to bring you such sad news
