Navan Animal Rescue Corporation (NARC)

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!

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!

Cocotte came back home last night after a few days at the vet’s on IV with strong medications and is now on antibiotics so she doesn’t get an infected mouth after having all of her teeth pulled out – except one! Poor little girl, that and her spay with shots, it was quite the ordeal. We had Joey last month that went throught the same surgeries and although he was sad looking for a few days – he is fully healed and homed now! She is living with me and Inka for a few weeks while recovering, making sure she eats plenty to fatten up.

Inka is doing so well, she sometimes still gets cold and a bit feverish but otherwise is a very happy little girl, sleeping with me every night – she is such a good dog! Another week of antibiotics, follow-up at the vet’s and hopefully we will be able to get that hernia repaired and her spayed! She is gaining very well, of course she is eating hot dogs, baloney, the chicken strips with bbq sauce are her favorites and she gets over 15 of those daily and her canned puppy food.

Baltazor will be posted on the website, hopefully tonight if I have time, he has had his cherry eye surgery and neuter. For an excited puppy and goofy dog, he was very quiet last night on our way home! Big buy like that and such a big suck… He has a few different kinds of drops for his eyes in order to heal and is booked on Monday at the vet’s for a follow up to his surgery.

Twiggy had to be re-stitched – idiot dog… Keeps scratching with her hind legs, not sure how she manages to contort her body in such a way to be able to scratch that way – but she does so we are watching her full-time to ensure she doesn’t bust her stitches again! Hopefully she learnt her lesson and won’t want to go back to the vet’s a 3rd time! Usually when dogs wake up from surgery, they are quiet and groggy – her??? She jumped right off the table and ran to the front door – such a big goof but we love her. She ate her full can yesterday and this morning, we are still trying to fatten her up, in hopes that the spay will help but she needs to be kept quiet to recover and also gain a few pounds!

If you can help with Science Diet canned puppy or dog food – that would be great! We have quite a few dogs on it right now to try to fatten them up. For those that have had major dental work such as Cocotte – we would rather have Ceasar’s for them as it is mushier!

Well, Cocotte was dropped off at the vet’s last night, placed on IV, drawn blood for blood work and given antibiotics through IV.  She went through her surgeries today, all her teeth were removed except one and she also had her spay done while under!  We left her at the vet’s for another night’s stay on IV and stronger antibiotics through IV but are to take her home tomorrow.  We need financial help for this little girl also, her bill is extremely high!

Inka is doing very well, she is still coughing but overall she is a happy girl and just the most adorable little girl.  Although, she really doesn’t want to leave my side unless I crate her, then she is good in her crate but otherwise will wait at the bathroom door or won’t go out to do her business unless I walk out of the house with her.  You can tell she was never given that much attention and is now worried I will dissapear on her!

Baltazore is at the vet’s and will undergo his cherry eye surgery tomorrow incuding his neuter and shots and Twiggy is back at the vet’s for having ripped her stitches open so she is going back under to get stitched back up.  Guess she needs a cone for longer this time around!  Although, not sure what we’ll do with her hind legs, may have to give her a smalle crate as she got her stitches by scratching her belly with her hind legs – she is quite flexible that one!
