A young lady with her cat was at the door when Tenderheart Veterinary Clinic opened. Baily, her black and white cat, had been vomiting since the day before. She didn’t think Baily got into anything but had a foreign body surgery done just last year. There were no real plants in the house, no Christmas Tree, no ribbon, no diet change, no people food and was very lethargic. The young lady thought her Baily was going to die. She could only afford the xrays that were needed to find out Baily’s problem. The xrays showed there was a foreign body present, Baily was in trouble, the doctor at Tenderheart suggested a barium series which may push the foreign body through but this was still financially impossible for the young lady. SisuCare offered to pay. The barium series didn’t work, surgery was needed in order for Baily to survive. A successfull surgery was performed to remove a two inch knotted cord from Baily. Baily is now home with “mom” recovering. Paid by Sisucare.

Testimonial:

I want to start by saying thank you.  Words cannot express how thankful I am for an organization such as Sisu Care.  If it were not for your generosity and from the donations people have made to this organization, my cat (Baily) would probably not be alive right now. I would give all that I could, to this organization for saving my pets life! I don’t know how else to express how thankful I am for your help.  I will be making a small poster, along with a donation myself, to support this organization.  My hopes are to allow people of the public to realize how wonderful this organization is, as my cats life is truly a result of your donation. Again, thank you so much and you will be hearing from me soon!
Sincerely,
Angelina and Baily Russello

“Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.”  ~Stuart Wilde

 Give up struggling.  Struggling focuses on the problem, entrenching you more deeply.  Simply DECIDE to stop struggling and begin solving.

“As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea.  Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this.  The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun.  ’But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish,’ countered the other.  ’How can your effort make any difference?’  The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves.  ’It makes a difference to this one,” he said.”  ~Minnesota Literacy Council

Will I ever find a dog that doesn’t shed?

Except for a few “hairless” breeds, all dogs shed. Hairless breeds include the Chinese crested, Mexican hairless, Inca hairless, Peruvian Inca orchid and the American Hairless Terrier.

Some”non-shedding” breeds keep the shed hair in their coat until it is brushed out. Breeds that shed very little, and can have their hair cut to reduce shedding include the Irish Water Spaniel, Portuguese Water Dog, Poodle, Kerry Blue, Soft-Coated Wheaten, and Bedington Terriers, Briard, Bouvier and Bichon Frise.

Personally, I love to vaccuum our Aussie’s fur daily!

Does a dog need to have its teeth brushed? -

Periodontal disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs. More than 75 percent of domestic dogs 3 years and older are affected by gum infections.
Once or twice a week an owner should use a canine toothrush, a soft child’s toothbrush or a gauze pad wrapped around a finer to brush the dog’s teeth. The AKC recommends toothpaste formulated for dogs (human toothpaste can upset the pets’s stomach and ingestion of too much fluoride can be fatal) or a paste made from water and baking soda.
Scrub the teeth completely, especially the insides and back upper molars.
In between cleaning, dental chew toys help fight plaque and tartar.

And have your pet’s teeth checked by your veterinarian. If they suggest a dental procedure, some clinics offer “specials” during certain months.

If you have a new kitten and have help in heating your home by wood stove, place an xpen, fence or some kind of metal barrier surrounding the woodstove so the kitten can not jump on it. Cats love to be warm and don’t understand until it is too late that the stove that they are jumping on will burn their paws.

Also, emergencies are full of toxicity appointments (chocolate) and bite wounds from visiting family dogs not getting along with others. Please take care.

To everyone that has a pet:

Please don’t “wait it out” if your pet is sick or just not right. There could be underlying causes that can be found by your veterinarian which can lead to helping your pet be healthy again.

Vet clinics or hospitals most likely will be closed again this Friday. If your pet is “just not right”, don’t hesitate to call and make an appt.
