ANGEL UPDATE

On November 29th, our sweet Angel began heartworm treatment. Word is she was a complete sweetheart (but of course...you couldn't ask for a sweeter girl). After she recovers from heartworm treatment, Angel will get spayed and undergo surgery for her amputation (front leg and shoulder). She can use some prayers from everyone. Here is Kelly's update:

Angel...she had her heartworm treatment this week and did fantastic! She was an awesome patient at the vet and all of the techs fell in love with her. Aunt Kim Zegarski gave her a bath and a mani/pedi before she left and Aunt Jessica Wollberg gave her extra love and kisses. Angel is still looking for her soft canned food that Auntie Jess spoiled her with but otherwise is happy to be home. She is laying around the house and enjoying hugs and kisses...

Angel stopped by Auntie Joanna's work to say before her heartworm treatment!

What about Angel's babies? Well, that situation has been very sad. Kelly notified us that one of the puppies passed last week (I believe the runt). The babies were being bottle fed because Angel had some issues with her milk and was "done" with nursing them so Kelly and her family have had their work cut out for them. Well, last night I received a call from Kelly with more bad news. Apparently the baby that passed away had hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) as this was confirmed by necropsy. Now, 4 more babies have presented with the same symptoms and 1 of the 4 has just passed yesterday (RIP babies). Here is the latest update from Kelly:

Update on Angel's babies....After a very long day and night, we have lost another baby of Angel's. We are on our way to losing two more as I type this. This afternoon we were at the vet's office and he diagnosed dying baby two with hydrocephalus. Baby number 3 is definitely neurologic and his head is very bloated. ...Baby number four is very anemic and getting neurologic. We are at that age when this can happen and we just need to do everything we can to keep them comfy and hopefully they can overcome this. With Angel's bad nutrition during her pregnancy, I am concerned as to how much immune system they actually have and how much fight they actually have.

PLEASE say a prayer for the other babies. Kelly feels encouraged about the 4 that do not have any symptoms. We will update you as soon as we hear anything. Thank you so much Kelly for trying so hard and doing everything you can for them! I appreciate the updates!
