Special Needs Dachshund..

.. This guy didn't stand much of a chance being special needs mixed in among the all breed kill shelter.. So I agreed to rescue him.. just because he deserves a chance.. he is different thats all.. blind and deaf but his other senses are very heightened.. so he copes very well and believe me his heart is the size of a building.. your lap would never be cold.. nor your cheek dry as this boy shares all he is with whomever pays him attention.. So if you are not put off by special needs dogs.. contact me.. Here he is..

Noah Is Home.. YAY

.. I picked up Noah at suppertime.. he was very glad to see me and let me know it with his vocalizing.. he looked real tired and of course the eye with the surgery was messy with dry blood.. but that will come off.. While I waited for the final tally of the bill as with the extra hour of surgery and two days post-op there it ended up being $1400.17 .. He has no teeth left .. they had them in a huge pill bottle for me to see.. They will have them on exhibit at their Open House in two weeks.. to show what happens when teeth are not looked after.. then they will give them to me.. I was shocked to see them all.. In any case I brought Noah home here.. fed him soft canned food with an antibiotic mixed in .. he was very hungry and ate it up no problem.. Now he is sleeping.. and I feel glad to be back.. my gang welcomed him with licks..

Noah Still In Post-Op

.. Noah's surgeries were quite traumatic to his system.. the massive infection alone is troublesome.. So he is still at the vet's being taken care of.. Please keep him in your prayers..

Thank You..

Noah's Surgery Today

.. Well poor Noah had his dental surgery and eye surgery today... The vet just called me.. the news wasn't good.. His teeth were so infected while she was pulling his canines puss was escaping from his nose in a stream.. then in the back teeth one side was so bad it had attached itself to the jaw bone... Surgery took an extra hour they were so bad.. She had not seen this severely rotted teeth.. it truly saddened her.. she informed me his white cell count was very high suggesting a dangerous level of infection in his system.

She explained how the buildup of tartar was a breeding ground for bacteria.. At first the gums become infected.. very much like human periodontal disease. The moist warm environment of his mouth was perfect for bacterial growth and grow it did eventually she said becoming so numerous as to freely wash down his throat to his stomach.. intestines.. and into his bloodstream. The bacteria she explained really loves the heart settling in there infecting the pericardium or the protective sac in which the heart rests.. now has resulted in a heart murmur.. I could just spit.. Imagine teeth like this..



He won't be coming home today as they want to keep him sedated with morphine as I imagine the pain to be horrific.. He will need she said weeks to months of antibiotics.. and soft food for the duration .. my heart is breaking.. How could someone have neglected him so badly then left him by the side of the road.. Now seriously who would want to foster or adopt this poor guy.. Its going to be a long hall for recovery both physically and emotionally.. Oh well I'll do my best with him ..

Please put him in your prayers.. that may sound silly to pray for a dog.. but I had to ask..
