💙 As much as the family loved her, they did not want her to suffer any longer and gave us permission to release her from her failing body. She was euthanized at home with her loving owners holding her and crying 🐾

💛 Thank you to those who donated so we could run some extra tests and give her a fighting chance. If we could have turned it around, we would have made it happen.

💚 Fly high and pain-free Coco 🙏 🐾

Coco’s blood parasite damage is severe

She is walking and eating today though. I have a little more hope in her outcome though the bloodwork we will do on Friday will let us know if her liver is healing or not 🐾

🐾 She really doesn’t like it at the clinic so we are trialing bringing her home to be close with the humans who love her. I spent time today showing the people who look after her how to give her the medications and feed her. Her blood sugar levels are dipping low so she needs to be fed regularly. We bought canned food to make it more appetising ♥️

I’ll be coming every day to help give fluids and injectable medications and monitor how she’s doing 🥰 as always, if her condition deteriorates, we would advise to release her from suffering🙏

At the moment, we are trying to raise just $150 USD (5,000 baht) to try and give her a chance at more time with her family. Can you help?

Emergency Blood Parasite Treatment in Chiang Mai

🐾 The dog’s belly size was an immediate concern, plus fever, so I asked to take the dog to the clinic for an ultrasound and blood work.
The dog was aggressive except towards its owners so I let them carry the dog and the woman hopped on the Rescue Rocket with me and off we went!

I am very thankful for good veterinary care here ♥️ the swelling of the abdomen was because the bladder was overextended so we placed a catheter and emptied it. Initial suspicion is that all of these symptoms are caused by untreated blood parasites. Bladder, weakness, lack of appetite are usually suggestive that the parasites have caused substantial damage to the internal organs already. Bloodwork results will show us soon whether prognosis is good or not.

For now, the dog (Coco) is at the clinic receiving care 🥰 if you can help with a donation, please do! None of us take a salary and we receive no government support or grants for our rescue initiatives. We take animals to the clinic and then fundraise to help pay for their care 💕 these animals would often receive no medical interventions without us looking out for them.
