Florence

On Monday morning, we consented to an exploratory surgery to figure out the cause of Florence’s continual bleeding.

Official diagnoses: CANINE STUMP PYOMETRA (more about it here: https://www.atdove.org/article/canine-stump-pyometra)

Treatment: Removal of infected mass / abscess.

Current condition: Resting comfortably in foster home. Feeling SO GREAT she’s now committing Weim crimes.

Next step: Pay our vet bill.

Here’s where we need your help. Treatment of other dogs this season (Lucy’s Pre-op and post-op appointments, Sophie’s hospitalization and Addison’s treatment, Ty’s eye diagnosis and treatment, Luke’s tumor removal), were all done behind the scenes without fundraising efforts and has more or less depleted CalWEAR funds.

PLEASE HELP US PAY FLORENCE’S BILL: North Tustin Veterinary Clinic can be reached at: 714-838-7440. The account is under “CalWEAR Florence.” You can also make a PayPal payment to donate@CalWEAR.org and we will forward the amount received to our vet.

CalWEAR is a 501c3 public charity and a receipt can be sent for your records.

THANK YOU!

– With love and gratitude, Team CalWEAR

5/6/2019 8:30 AM FLORENCE UPDATE:

We are at North Tustin Veterinary Clinic in Tustin, CA to meet with Dr. Kali because Florence is still spotting after her spay surgery at the Baldwin Park shelter.

Possibilities:

1) Rat poison

2) Hemophilia

3) Botched spay job

We think it’s a botched spay job. Currently sitting in the exam room waiting for ultrasound findings. Fingers crossed we figure out what this is, and can fix it.

More to follow.

FLORENCE UPDATE.

“I’ve had Florence with me now for almost a week. She can’t be in the same part of the house as my others because she’s still coughing from being at the Baldwin Park shelter, so we spend time together when I’m doing chores in the barn or out on the driveway. I spent an hour cleaning out the WEIMBUS today while Florence sat on the driveway and soaked in the sun. She stood up to have me pet her forehead every time I passed her. Even though I have a GPS tracking collar on her in case she wanders off, she has decided that she will never be more than 15 yards away from me. So we really don’t even need it. Just a few short days and I’m already her person. To the family who dumped her; I am at a loss as to why. To the family who wants her, you’re in for a treat. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch her for you.”
