Positve news for Scout

Very positive news this week on Scout. On Saturday, he seems to come out of no where. He woke up and was very vocal and ripped his IV out. He seemed ready to get out of that hospital. He came home on Saturday afternoon and is on his way to making a wonderful recovery. He’s still on medications and is very, very thin, but he is slowly getting back to his old self. Thanks again to everyone who has donated to his care. We are still in need of more donations. The cost of his treatment is now over $2300. If you can help, please visit our “How You Can Help” page.

Update on Nori

Nori has better news than we thought before.......

The blood test has been sent out to confirm that it is, in fact, Von Willebrand's Disease. Once he gets the confirmation in about 5-7 days, the vet will then perform the spay with frozen plasma on hand so he can help her clot when he is doing the
surgery.

This is very positive news for Nori. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts.

Sad news about Scout and Nori

We got some bad news on both Scout and his mom Nori today.

Scout has been in the vet hospital for a week now with IV fluids, not being able to hold anything down.  The vet feels he had some sort of viral infection and roundworms that led to very severe lesions on his intestines and stomach. He is not making any improvements. If he does not show signs of improvement soon, we may have to make a very difficult decision.

Nori, his mother, was scheduled to be spayed today, but the vet had to stop the procedure immediately when she started bleeding profusely.  Turns out that she is probably a Doberman mix and there is a disease common to Dobermans called Von Willebrand's Disease, which is a version of hemophilia in dogs. Her prognosis is unknown at this time. If there are any treatments, they will likely be very expensive.

If you would like to make a donation to Scout and Nori’s medical care, please visit the “How You Can Help” page and make a donation. We would greatly appreciate it.

Still in need

We are still in need of donations to help pay for Scout’s surgery. If you can help, please visit our “How You Can Help” page and make a donation. If you are a business or organization and would like to sponsor Scout or any of our other dogs, please email us info@pawsrescueva.org

We are also in desperate need of wire crates. If you have one you would be willing to donate, please email us at info@pawsrescueva.org

Update on Scout

Scout pulled through his surgery ok. It turned out that he had severe ulcerations of his intestines caused by the severe case of parasites. He is continuing to be treated for the parasites and they are trying to keep him quiet and comfortable until they can gain control of his vomiting. Once he starts feeling better, his intestines should heal on it’s own. He is expected to make a full recovery, but the next few weeks will be very tough for him. He will have to remain on fluids and medications until he heals. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts.
