As you can see from our website we have a few major surgeries that we would like to be done on our dogs, Juliette, Monty and Chanelle. We've dealt with Clementine's surgery this week and are still working on paying for Eewok's patellar surgery last month...
We also need Multi-advantage for over 50 dogs, mostly small to medium breed but some for large... If anyone can purchase a box or has a few left overs from your own pets, we surely could us them. We doze our dogs the first of each month to ensure we are "bug" free, it helps with fleas, demodex, worms, heartworm, etc.. so if you can help - this weekend is our next doze and usualy costs us a lot!!
You can either send your donations to NARC, 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9 or come and visit us this weekend from 1pm to 3pm to see our dogs or drop off your donations - we will also be there this Monday being that I am not working - YIPEE.
We will have a garage sale this weekend in order to raise funds so you may also want to drop off your items, anything you no longer want - as they say... someone's junk is someone else's treasure! We'll get the sale started around 11am to 3:30pm.
We also need Paper Towels, Mr. Clean or any cleaning products, the Husky from Cdn Tire is really good, rubber gloves, etc... We also accept Canadian Tire Money so that we can purchase these items ourselves. Thank you to everyone for your support with NARC - you ROCK!!

Vet Update
Poor Ramses, they scraped off all of his hair and skin from his back so he is recovering from that, we did a few tests to see if it was scabies or what the hell it is.... unsure, all tests came out with nothing. He is on antibiotics, pain medications and cream to heal his wounds.
I was able to speak with the vet for Clementine and decided to leave her overnight for her spay and stone removal. They are impossible to pass, too large and she was still bleeding from her vulva so we've decided to leave her there to get the poor girl out of her misery. Although she is always happy, I am sure it is painful for her so we had no choice! Luckily the vet made me a great deal and we have a nice family that is helping with her invoice - thanks guys for everything you are doing for our little Clementine! I am sure she can't wait to move in with you after she is fully recovered next week...
Niko looks very well, he was up and barking at me when I picked him up - such a good looking guy, we are sure he'll find a home quickly although he is sometimes shy with strangers so we would prefer a quiet home for our 6 month old puppy who has already been through so much...
Hercules is also doing well, his hair on his ears and back tail will probably never grow so he looks a bit rough but he's a good dog with lots of love and attention to give. He will now be posted as available for adoption for those of you who enjoy the Boston breed - he is approx 5 years old and ready this weekend!
Tomorrow, time for Pluto and May to have a follow up examination as they are still coughing after quite a few weeks of antibiotics - I have never seen Kennel Cough get so bad but as said before, it's really a mean cough this year!! They are doing well, eating, drinking, running and playing but still coughing after over 3 weeks now - worrysome for sure!!! Hopefully we will be able to find a remedy tonight...

Dogs at vet's this week
Finally, I dropped off Hercules at the vet's tonight for his neuter, check-up and shots tomorrow. Those of you who have seen Hercules (our Boston Terrier) a month ago when he arrived saw how in bad shape and extremely skinny he was... Well, with the Oil of Oregano, Coconut Oil, lots of good food and treats, TLC and patience, he has gained and is actually now very plump! I am sure those of you who saw him and cried over how skinny he was would be pleased, come by and see him now!
I also brought Clementine for her 2nd x-ray to see if her stones have passed, the vet wanted her overnight to do another x-ray in the morning once her bladder was full so she is staying! From what I saw on the x-ray, seems like they can't pass - she has 2 very large - one is the size of my thumb.
Niko was also brought back to the vet's for his neuter, he gained weight while living with me and now is back at NARC for his recovery. Not sure if you remember but we had rushed him at the vet's a few weeks ago as he was very sick, had him on IV and did 3 tests that were negative (Parvo, Coccidia, Giardia). He recovered well from it all, no more diharea, gained weight and is strong enough for his neuter.
Ramses went back to the vet's last night as an emergency, not sure what happened - test to be done on his skin as he was flaking - the whole top of his back was coming off and infected. The vet will care for that and give us medications for him to recover properly!
I'll update you on all of them tomorrow!

Tough weekend!
It was a complicated weekend without Hydro or water in the NARC mobile home but we managed... Had hydro in my house but with the water connected through NARC - I didn't have water myself so couldn't provide... Really need to get a separate system so that we never run out again! Went to the neighbours and filled tubs to bring home so they could all have clean water to drink, some volunteers came with bottled water on Sunday to help out - thank you all for pitching in. Finally, Hydro came this morning to fix the problem and we are back up and running after 3 days of no air conditioning, no air purifiers running and no water - YIKES! Now we'll have to catch up in bathing the dogs and they can go back to playing in their kiddy pool now that it is clean and we will be able to clean the house properly instead of with pure javex only! Tonight is vet night, few dogs are going in for surgeries and Clementine is going for her 2nd x-ray to see if her stones have dissipated or if she needs that surgery - cross your fingers in hopes that they are gone!

Need HELP and funds!!! URGENT!
As regularly, we brought a few dogs at the vet's yesterday for spay, neuter and check-ups. Seems like Monty and Juliette both have Bilateral Patellar Luxation. Juliette has already undergone surgery on her front broken leg to fix it and has just had her cast removed - now to proceed with her hind leg. The vet did say that they are not in pain and many dogs can live with this for a long time but we really would like to have their surgeries done so that they can have a better life. That being said, we need help and funds....
If you can help in any way, please send a cheque to NARC, 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9. We need over $6,000 altogether for quite a few major surgeries including Clementine's. She has stones and if the antibiotics don't work in a few weeks, she will have to undergo surgery herself for her spay, stone removal and shots. They also all need another x-ray, although we've done a first one, they all will need a second before surgery!
We did go ahead and neuter Monty and give him his shots for now until we can find a solution to his problem or an adoptive family that may want to pay for his surgery!?
Marcie the little daschund was also spayed and is on skin antibiotics, 2 teeth were removed as they were badly broken so she is also on antibiotics to prevent infection in her mouth.
Buttercup wasn't spayed or nor was her dental done as the equipment broke so she is re-scheduled for early next week to get the two done! We brought her back to NARC till then!
Reese had his neuter done, he was cryptorchid which means he had a ball in his groin so that was a more expensive and intense surgery for him and us! He seems fine, more damage was done to our finances lol.
Boy oh boy, just doesn't seem to stop with major surgeries and expensive treatments this year!!!

Doggy update
Inka is doing very well, I am sure she will find a home soon as she is quite the love bug! She is finished her courses of antibiotics, was on a few for over a month but now very healthy, gained over 5 pounds and looking great. She is still living with me as I don't want her to catch anything else at NARC like Kennel Cough so is house trained, very well behaved and sleeps with me at nights - she is a doll and loves to cuddle!
Oscar has survived his pneumonia and is doing extremely well, gaining weight, eating like a pig and can now bask in the sun on weekends and go on longer walks - we are no longer restraining him to quiet all day! He is full of beans this one, you weren't able to tell that when he was sick but does he have some energy and loves to nibble at your fingers to play! He is a great dog!
Baltazore's eye is still very itchy so he is still wearing his cone around his head so he doesn't scratch and do some damage to the surgery although it is healed and a few weeks old, we are worried he will scratch too much and hurt himself. It is scratchy because his hair is growing around his eye - it was shaved so women out there know what I mean - it does itch when it grows back lol. We are all in love with the big boy, even if he gave us all a hard time with his drops, he is such a love bug and great loose in at NARC with all the other dogs. He is sweet with the toy breeds and very well behaved! He is also trained in the house and won't do his business in his crate or inside.
Cocotte is also doing extremely well with her fixed broken lower jaw, she is eating by herself and now chewing on hot dogs and such. She is still on soft foods and will probably remain on that for the rest of her life being that we've removed all of her teeth - except one. But that is fine, she is now full of energy and runs around on the farm like nothing happened! We had her out this weekend for people to see and of course for her to spend the day outside with me... She is finished her course of antibiotics and ready to go! She is fully house trained, lives with me and is quite a good dog.
Niko is still with me but doing well and eating/drinking quite well. Last night, he had half a can of soft food mixed in with a cup of hard food and 3 hot dog weiners which he almost swallowed whole - quite the appetite! Of course the few first hot dog peices were with his antibiotics and flu medications - he doesn't know that though!!! Niko sometimes still pees in his crate but that was to be expected when he was on IV, I am working with him on his house cleanliness and will update you shortly.
Nakuuti, a little white malti-poo is still on antibiotics for a runny nose with green discharge (upper respiratory infection) she is getting better daily. She is also house trained and won't do at NARC or in her crate - she will hold it in until she goes for her walks - good girl. She does need a good shave and bath but I won't do it until she is feeling a bit better and gains strength.
Katou is also on eye drops and antibiotics for Kennel Cough which she caught even though we administered Bordetella - sometimes I think we're wasting our money with the Bordetella shot as they still catch it from living at the SPCA for a few days before we get them!
Well, that's it for now - updates to come later on others... 5 new doggies are going to the vet's this week for spay/neuters and check-ups and Baby's puppies are going for their first shots then up for adoption next week!

Nice Weekend
What a gorgeous weekend it was, sunny and HOT - loved it although we had to do quite a rotation with the dogs as they were quite hot, even if they had the pool to freshen up in! So, every hour we would take those that were out back in with the air conditioning and bring others out to bask in the sun for an hour! Don't forget that we are opened for the summer from 1pm to 3pm if you want to drop in and see our dogs, help at the farm or even walk a few pooches - we are always happy to see you! Pass the word around for those who want to come and spend a little time with our dogs - they appreciate the attention!

Update at Vet's
Maze did well with her spay and she is going back to NARC for her recovery period. We had to rush in Niko, he has been a bit sick since we got him but was worst today, vomitting and the flu. We had the vet put him on IV fluids with strong medications through IV and ran a few tests. Parvo is negative, Coccidia negative and Giardia negative. He is now with me in my home for recovery and is doing quite well, eating and drinking like a pig. He will have to return to the vet's soon for his neuter and shots then posted for adoption. He is very cute so will certainly go fast although he is quite shy with strangers so will need a special home with patience and hopefully a quiet environment! He was nibbling on our fingers when we had the IV drip taken out, he certainly didn't like it!

Vetting Information
Another expensive week at the vet's. Inka got her spay and hernia removed plus her shots. She is doing well so far, just picked them all up tonight so will keep you updated. She was so pleased when I came back for her, they are so funny!
Pinut got her spay and shots also, she is also positive for Giardia so we have to give her medications for that for 10 days and also ensure everyone else at NARC get's a doze! YIKES what an expensive day!
Hershey has had his neuter, dental cleaning and quite a few extractions, he is groggy but will overcome it. He is on antibiotics so that he doesn't get an infection in his mouth and also another antibiotic for Kennel Cough.
We brought Flute back at the vet's, one of the stitches wasn't melting so we had to get it removed and they also placed her on antibiotics for a few weeks as it caused a bit of infection.
Fresca our 7 month old puppy also got spayed and shots today, she was wondering what was going on and kept looking at her belly, it took a bit of time before she realized she could pee but she finally managed. She is such a funny gal!
And Chanelle also needed antibiotics for a runny nose and an eye infection so she is on both of these for 10 days! She also has had all her shots, spay and check-up!
I left Maze at the vet's for her spay and shots tomorrow so will let you know how she does.
Now, not only do I have over 15 dogs on medications/antibiotics or drops, some with two meds to administer such as Chanelle, Hershey & Baltazore but now I have the whole household on pills to cure Giardia - it will be busy in the mornings before work - let me tell ya! Those donated hot dogs will dissapear very quickly Ha! Ha!

Update at the farm
Sorry for not blogging the last few days, I've been bed ridden - yep, something as stupid as tying the dog outside and moving too quickly while doing it and I hurt my back! Well, back to work today and back to blogging and updating all of you.
Oscar our little Schnauzer is doing so well, his pneumonia is healed although he still has leftover antibiotics for this week that we are finishing and his last vet check-up tonight. Then we'll be able to get him fixed and place him up for adoption! He is now playfull, was nipping at my fingers this morning to play and has quite the energy after being ill for a few weeks time and on IV with strong meds at the vet's for 2 days...
Inka is finally going to the vet's tonight for her spay and hernia removal then she has a home lined up for Sunday. I don't know how I will be able to say goodbye, her and Cocotte were my partners for the last 3 days while I was in bed and watching movies quietly with me!
Cocotte is now eating by herself, grabbing food with her fixed broken bottom jaw without issues at this point which is amazing, she is also gaining weight and looking great. I can't leave her off leash anymore as she is quick - the little bugger and wants to check out everything so I am now putting her in the play pen outside to do her business! She is way too quick for me right now as I am walking like a grandma - no offence grams lol! She is ready to go, her spay healed nicely and so is her jaw and dental extractions!
Baltazore is still not liking his drops but the girls have been helping me out this week as I wasn't able to fight with him to get them in myself! He is now ready for adoption, will bring him to the vet's for one last check-up to see if all is well then off he goes to his loving home. We've gotten many calls for the big boy so if our vet gives us thumbs up this week, we are sure he will be gone this weekend!
The others that were on antibiotics such as Sheeba, Carlos are doing very well, their neuters are healing and the kennel cough now gone. Our little princess Clementine still has a week's worth of antibiotics for her stones so we are hoping they work otherwise it is surgery for her! We have a new 5 month old puppy with skin conditions, she doens't have a name yet but we'll find one soon. She is on skin infection antibiotics for a few weeks, then another vet check.. we've tested for scabies but it's thankfully negative so thinking it is some type of allergies, more tests and we'll find out what is wrong.
We've received a few new doggies this weekend. The 5 month old Springer Spaniel x Collie which has the skin allergies, a toy Chihuahua who will certainly leave very quickly once he is neutered and his kennel cough goes. He was on antibiotics for 10 days but still coughing a bit. For some reason this year's Kennel Cough is really bad... May is still on her second antibiotic for her coughing and although it's reducing, it is taking them a long time to heal properly!!! We always get dogs with Kennel Cough from the SPCA's but usually after a week at the farm, with the Oil of Oregano, it goes away but this year - everyone has needed antibiotics... Keep an eye out for that for your own pets, don't take your pets in areas where Kennel Cough resides as it is really bad cases this year - enough so that even dogs with the Bordetella (shot against Kennel Cough) still end up with it!
You will see bios and pictures of the new dogs on our website soon!

Oscar is doing well
Picked up Domingo from the vet's after his neuter last night, he's doing well but I wanted to talk more about Oscar. After a few days at the vet's on IV and stronger antibiotics, he is now feeling much better and eating like a pig as he used to. We are keeping him on the medications for at least 10 days with a follow up later next week at the vet's to see how things are going. Hopefully by then, he will have gained a few much deserved pounds, he came in so skinny it is incredible what people do to their dogs... Then, if he is well and strong enough after the 10 days of meds, he will undergo his surgeries including dental cleaning!
Inka is ready to be spayed and get that huge hernia removed, if she is feeling as good next week - such as she is this week, she is going back to the vet's next Wednesday to have her 2 surgeries done, will keep her at my house for her recovery then find her a loving forever home.
Cocotte is also doing very well, has more spunk and is running around at the farm! She is eating very well, gaining the much needed weight and is ready for adoption as long as that adoptive family brings her back to our vet's in 1.5 months to remove the metal pins they placed in her lower jaw! She too is living with me so house trained and used to being in a home!
As for Baltazore, well I think we can all agree that we are all very anxiously waiting for the day that the vet says he can stop his eye drops Ha! Ha! I have a family lined up for him but won't release him until I get the thumbs up from my vet and of course it certainly wouldn't be fair to his new family if I were to hand him over when I know he gives us a hard time for his eye drops! He is such a great boy though, such a lovely giant who loves to be loved and listens quite well - EXCEPT the moment he sees the drop almost hit his eye Ha! Ha!
Buddha, Carlos, Clementine, Sheeba are so easy to pill in the morning and night - hot dogs are great for that - gobble gobble everyone...
We will be needing more Medical Urinary canned and bagged food for Clementine if anyone wishes to make a donation of that kind... We also need paper towels and cleaning products (Husky or Mr. Clean), we are almost running out!

He is such a great boy though, such a lovely giant who loves to be loved and listens quite well - EXCEPT the moment he sees the drop almost hit his eye Ha! Ha!
Buddha, Carlos, Clementine, Sheeba are so easy to pill in the morning and night - hot dogs are great for that - gobble gobble everyone...
We will be needing more Medical Urinary canned and bagged food for Clementine if anyone wishes to make a donation of that kind... We also need paper towels and cleaning products (Husky or Mr. Clean), we are almost running out!

Vet Update
I checked up on Oscar today when I picked up the others, he was up, tail wagging at me and now eating which is great but I left him for another day on IV to make him stronger. Will go again tomorrow to see how he is doing and if he is coming back to NARC with his antibiotics. This boy was on Baytrill for a whole week last week but it didn't seem to be helping much so we are trying stronger meds throuogh IV - so far so good and he is responding well...
Buddha had his neuter today with Rabies and DA2PP shots. Our vet called this morning to ask if he could do a dental, said he would need it with an extraction so we went forward with that. He had 1 tooth removed so now he is on clinacin for a week to help him not get an infection in his mouth after his dental cleaning and extraction.
Sheeba, our little Miniature Pincher also had his neuter and Rabies shot, he is on Clavamox for a week to help with his healing and Kennel Cough.
Carlos our 6 month old Springer Spaniel has been neutered today, he also is going to be on antibiotics for a week to help him heal.
And last but not least, I left Domingo at the vet's for his neuter tomorrow with shots.
AND of course fought with Baltazore to get his drops in his eyes all night. Gave meds to the others that need them such as Cocotte, Inka, Carlos, Sheeba, Buddha and Clementine.

Oh My! BALTAZORE!!!!!
Well, I should have called Baltzore either Bronco or Rodeo Ha! Ha! We had an appointment at the vet's tonight as a follow up to his eye surgery; while also dropping a few others for their neuters with shots and also bringing our sick Oscar to be placed on IV for a few days with strong antibiotics... Our boy just wouldn't have it - Baltazore just didn't want the vets to play with his eye - there was no question about it and he certainly didn't want his dye test - OH NO! Well, needless to say we had to sedate him and even then, he fought that very hard and we still argued with him - 4 of us, while I'm almost lying on him with my body weight and he still managed to move his head around and give us an hour of hard time! Boy oh Boy - we finally managed but I asked our vet if there was anything to help with his itchiness so they gave him an injection so hopefully tomorrow, every 2 hours, when I have to put drop in his eyes... he will behave?? Hee! Hee! Annie will be stuck doing this during the day, I will do my morning runs before work as usual then she takes over till I get home and I will do the evening and night shift - wish us luck! He did manage to finally kinds fall asleep - in the car on the way home BUGGER! But then woke up suddently the moment I stopped the car and was tail wagging when he saw the NARC mobile home...
Children helping NARC
Again tonight we had someone drop off donations, canadian tire money and paper towels from the group of kids at the daycare named "Centre Educatif sur un Nuage". Thank you so much children, it is small people like you who will hopefully emerge as our next rescue organizations in the future! We love you and are sending you big hugs and kisses from all the doggies here at NARC!

Weekend at the farm
Yep, you guessed it - MUDDY dogs and rain, rain, rain. We'd take out all the dogs and then have to rush them in due to pouring rain then oops here comes the sun so let's take them all out again and not even an hour after, rush them in from the rain again! What a weekend! New dogs have arrived, quite adorable - Male Min Pincher, 2 female tiny Daschunds, 2 beagles, lab, Shih-Tzu's, etc... although one Daschund won't be available for some time, she is on medications for kidney stones, x-ray was done but if antibiotics don't work, she will have to foregoe the surgery and her spay at the same time - poor girl and she's so adorable! Find updates on our website of the new dogs that arrived this week!
After a few cans of different kinds of dog food, I finally managed to find something that Cocotte can and will eat - other than hot dogs! She is now eating Wellness ninety-five percent beef! She is such a cutie even though she is always licking due to the fact that she has no teeth left, she will in time stop and be normal again. That is, once her lower broken jaw sets and is properly healed.
Inka is also doing fabulously well, she has fattened up and is looking amazing, her leg and back have healed and new hair is slowly growing - she is a doll! Another week and her antibiotics are done and off she goes to the vet's again for her spay and hernia removal!
Baltazore is giving me a very hard time for his eye drops, one drop for his forehead, one for his chin, one for me then finally I get his eye - he really sees it coming and moves at the last minute - he is so big that it's not like I can restrain him like a small doggy! Oh well, I'm managing Ha! Ha!
Twiggy is mad at us, you can tell from her eyes, she is giving us the look about not liking her Cone and being crated for long periods of time - too bad little girl, you are going to heal properly this time, no more chances and I am not paying a third time for stitches. She is also sometimes pooping in her crate when she usually doesn't - just to piss us off but it AIN'T working gal! Although, she is eating her canned goods very well in hopes that she gains a few pounds, especially now since she isn't very active!!
So, all that being said, it was still a nice weekend with the doggies and new ones we've already fallen in love with! We will need help with Clémentine, the new merle brown daschund for her surgeries, preparing in advance that the antibiotics may not work - as per the vet's! She is also on Medical canned food only to help her with them passing the stones!
I have the pictures, just need the time to upload them on the website. Also working on our new website which will hopefully be available very shortly for your perusal!

Cocotte & Things needed
In all of this, I did forget to mention that Cocotte's lower jaw was broken so she has a wire now to help put her jaw together so she can eat properly and help the bone to heal back together! She is eating hotdogs and the vet called last night to say he reviewed the x-rays with a specialist and that I need to check to make sure the jaw is working properly. So far so good, she is eating and drinking like a regular doggy!
WE NEED: Financial help, those surgeries and tests we are getting done cost an arm and a leg, we really need your support to be able to take these poor dogs in and continue with our work.
Even bringing a few packages of hot dogs - we use them to give the dogs their antibiotics, some are meals if the dog won't eat anything else - that is helping!
Gift cards at Pet Stores, Giant Tiger, Canadian Tire Money, Home Depot any store where we can buy some supplies such as chains, fencing, cleaning supplies, etc... would also help us on the maintaing part of NARC.
We are out of Husky cleaning products, rubber gloves, javex is on the low side and CANNED PUPPY or DOG Food... We have a few skinny minies we need to fatten up and are almost out of canned goods. They really like the ceasar's or Science Diet.
Thank you to those who support us, if it wasn't for all of you out there - we certainly wouldn't be able to have those major surgeries done and many dogs would be euthanized... A HUGE thank you from the bottom of my heart and of course kisses and hugs from our rescues!
