This is little Oscar... Taken about 8AM today! See the difference?


We just don't understand it! This morning at 9:30AM, I left to go to walmart and grab some food from McDonalds. When I left, he was playing, he was being a puppy! Ripping and roaring through the house! He was awesome.
When I left, for his protection I put him in his play pen that's about 4ft x 5ft in the dining room. We do that for his safety because he's still chewing.
When I got back I brought everything in, in between going out to the car to bring things in, I stopped to pet him.
After I was done carrying everything in, I pet him, he didn't lift up his head. I seen part of his tongue sticking out, his eyes clothes, barely breathing, he was lifeless! I called the vet, said I need a doctor NOW! They put me on hold for 2 minutes, came back on and said a doctor would be with me in a minute. I said, "I don't have a minute, I need a doctor NOW!" She said, "Excuse Me" I explained to them I think he's dead! She said, "Bring him in now!"

When I took him in, the whites around his eyes were very bloody (not bloodshot, worse than that). He had bruising on his right ear. He was not blinking his eyes, moving, nothing. They rushed an IV into him. Started him on a series of meds. They got him on Vitamin K, Vitamin B, pain medication, in case he went into shock they gave him a med for that. Blood was coming out of his mouth, he was drueling. This puppy was in a horrible condition!

We stayed with him from the time we got him there until 1:30. They kept him / he is still on them. About noon, he start progressing... He started voluntary trying to blink his eyes, his ears started perking up when he heard sounds, his eyes weren't as bloody, the bleeding from the mouth stopped, the bruising on his ear went down.

He's still laying as if he's helpless. This is so heart wrenching.

We went back in at 3:30. I brought his favorite squeeky toy, and his dog bed for him. Squeeking the toy, he perked his ears. I seen him lick his mouth. The tongue wasn't hanging out anymore, the bleeding stopped, the bruising went down on his ear. He was still not moving. His breathing was better. He was taking deeper breaths. I did see him stretch his legs which he did not do before.

He still has a 50/50 chance of making it or unfortunately god doing his toll on him. Right now he's in critical condition and is under 24-7 supervision.

They did do X-rays, found nothing. Everything was normal.
They did do blood work. His liver levels were a little bit on the low side, they did give him meds for that. About 2:30 this afternoon they became normal.
They are treating him as if he has the following:
Digested Rat Poison
Went into Shock
Has Distemper / Parvo (even though they believe he does not, but just to be on the safe side)

He's on 2 IV's...
1) Flushes out his entire system.
2) Medication: fluids, Vitamin K, Vitamin B, meds to treat shock, pain medication, an antibiotic.

So, that's where he's at.

It's 9:06PM now. The vet said he would give us a report at 9PM. Once hear the status on him, I will know more.

However the blood work they did, they were checking EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, they only had availability to do so much... They expidited some of the blood to a lab and they will have those results first thing in the morning.

Nobody knows what is wrong with him right now. The positive is that he's coming around. Maybe 0.5%. But at least he's trying and something is working. And he is improving even though it's just a little.

The vet unlocks their doors at 8AM. We're leaving here in the morning at 8AM to see him and spend time with him, bring him a couple more of his favorite toys.

I told the vet to do EVERYTHING HE CAN for this puppy. He has a full life to live.

Today's treatments were just under $1,000. However, luckily we dropped over $1200 in the past 30 days on Baby and one of my others. So they're allowing us to do unrestricted payment arrangements (pay whatever you can each week, even if it's $1.00, show good faith)... So thank god they are letting us do that.

Please keep your fingers crossed. We're so scared for him. He has a full life ahead of him. He needs that. And I can't bare putting another PUPPY down in less than a month! It's so hard. It's tearing me up.

At least I can say they were rescued from being killed by wild life, mother nature, the 100+ degree temperatures, etc. Makes me wonder if people really do care about another living creature. People are so cruel hearted.

Anyways, please keep your fingers crossed for us. We need the support for this little guy.
