💙 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 🙏 🐾

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.

Did some laundry. Took calls about a new group of feral dogs who needs to be helped with flea meds and spays. Organized food delivery for the month. Organized afternoon appointments. Packed all supplies needed for the day including 40 vaccinations. Out the door.

Headed to vaccinate 21 dogs 25 minutes away. Passed by the sore puppy with mange walking on the side of the road. Stopped to help. Usually I would just give medicine and come back to check on progress but his lymph nodes were swollen and he had a fever so I put him in a crate and after giving Bravecto and vaccinations to the other dogs, the puppy and I rushed to the clinic to get him checked out and hospitalized.

Whilst at the clinic, I checked on Tiger, Nestle, Bella, and Rhino at the same time too (Boonrod is at another clinic but messaged the vet throughout the day to check on how he was doing).
🐾 Organized with the doctor to go with her to the temple on Wednesday to check on some of our dogs there.

Went back home to check on Dasu. I started him on liver and kidney support as we await bloodwork results. Ate a lunch packed for me by Laurajean Rae whilst grabbing more supplies.

🐕 Out the door to go to the pet store to buy 100kg of puppy and dog food for the group of dogs who are anemic and struggling to get enough nutrition. Then off to the store to get 20 bowls and puppy deworming.

🏍️ Drove 50 minutes to get to the dogs and meet a few people directly there- we got some puppy cuddles, feeding time, puppy vaccinations, puppy deworming, checking on all spay wounds (all looked great!), phone calls with translator to organize next steps for the dogs (need to spay one momma dog once she stops breastfeeding) and asked the man who is so kind to them what he needs most if we can help him in some way down the line.

Then rushed out 45 minutes north to vaccinate 9 other dogs I recently found out about. Checked to make sure owner is giving blood parasite medications I provided recently – she is 💕 pulled blood on 2 skinny dogs to check if it’s anything other than blood parasites and if either dog needs more support

I didn’t have time to go and assess personally, so I paid for a cat to be taken to the clinic and get treated- the cat has been coughing and vomiting. Hoping he pulls through.

Drove into town and took one hour break from doggy rescues from 7-8pm.

Headed back home, 40 minutes away. Stopped off and got some groceries. Ate dinner on the steps outside the store because eating dinner at home amongst a huge pack of dogs is such chaos. Answered messages whilst eating. Over 50 received today.

🏠 Headed home. 36 dogs wanted attention. Noticed someone donated a table and someone else donated a cage. Smiled. Made hot chocolate. Replied to a few more messages. Did laundry. Checked on Dasu. Checked on Brazil. Checked on Susu.

Checked on the three paralyzed girls. Took a few minutes to watch them play. Replied to more messages. Organized appointments for tomorrow. Remembered I have to go to immigration and wondered how I’m going to fit it in. Gave medications to the dogs who need them. Called the dogs up to bed. Set the alarm. Wrote this post. Got to sleep 😴

Today was not a particularly busier day than any other day. We’ll do it all over tomorrow and we’ll do it with love because the animals need us 💕
