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!

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!
