<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">About a month ago Hounds Haven was contacted by a rescuer in a rural community in MO. She stated that a woman had called her about a momma Basset and her babies. She had delivered her babies under the neighbors house and he wanted them removed otherwise he would "dispose" of them. So the kind citizen took them out from under the house, cleaned the babies noses, their eyes were not even open at the time and gave momma and her babies a warm place to live for a few days until rescue could be found for them all, but that she could only hold onto them for a few days. So Hounds Haven went to work on finding someone who could take the babies locally and keep them safe and then had then transported to a dear friend of the rescue who has had past experiences in helping mom and puppies along their journey together. In total there are 6 puppies, 4 females and 2 males. All ADORABLE and seemingly healthy. Momma, who was named Daisy Duke is a wonderful momma and a very caring, social girl who seemed thankful for someone to just touch her in a loving manner. </FONT>
<P><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">Upon getting momma and babies to their current home we realized everyone was not feeling well. Momma was lethargic, puppies were lethargic. Not normal happy go lucky puppies. Everyone over heated very easily, etc. Test after test we finally got the diagnosis that Daisy and her babies all had Coccidiosis, a intestinal parasite that takes all the nutrients from their systems. We promptly put them all on the correct medication to treat the Coccidia. Still after the set amount of time on medicince Daisy and babies still were not acting "normal". So we went back to the testing and found out Momma has Ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne illness that can have great consequences on a dogs body if not found and treated early. Here is a link to some info to Ehrlichiosis: </FONT><A href="http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?articleid=430"><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?articleid=430</FONT></A><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy"> . We were advised to wean puppies early, by this time they were 5 weeks of age, because the medication needed to treat the Ehrlichiosis can be transmitted in the milk supply and is not safe for puppies. We also noticed Daisy's teats were becoming more and more painful for her while nursing the puppies and after the start of weaning were swelling and becoming hot to the touch. She has been since diagnosed with a severe case of Mastitis, and her milk was transmitting toxins to the puppies causing them to be ill as well. Since being weaned the puppies have returned to normal, healthy, active puppies. And are looking for their forever homes :0) But if Daisy's antibiotic for her Mastitus doesn't help she will have to undergo extensive surgery to remove the mastitis from her body. We are just taking it day by day with close observation on Daisy. </FONT>
<P>
<CENTER><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">***UPDATE ON DAISY*** </FONT>
<CENTER>
<P><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">Daisy is responding to her antibiotics wonderfully, and her teats are finally loosing their hardness. Her back two teats are the two that have always been the worst off and they are still showing the mastitis infection. They are still hard and puss still comes out of them. These two will most likely have to be removed. But right now we have to allow the full course of antibiotics to run their course!! Daisy is starting to act lively, alert and the puppy is coming out in her. We don't think we've mentioned this before but Daisy herself is not even a year old yet, so still a puppy herself. </FONT>
<P><FONT face="Lucida Calligraphy">Making sure Daisy and puppies are healthy is Hounds Haven's #1 priority and our vet bills are mounting by the day for their care. And we need your help in raising some funds to pay these medical bills. All of our Hounds adoption fees are used to pay for the food, monthly medical treatment of the hounds in rescue and for the next hound coming into Hounds Haven to be vetted. So as a small all-volunteer based rescue our funds are vital to keep saving the other hounds in need. </FONT></P>
