Miss Pink's Plight

We awoke Sunday morning to find Miss Pink seizing. "Oh No! Here we go again!"... or so we thought. It appears that we have a fighter on our hands. Although she lost a lot of weight yesterday (due to not nursing and not swallowing her supplement), she only had about three seizures total-- very different from poor Miss Orange who couldn't stop seizing. I took Miss Pink to the vet this morning (sweet Dr. Gregard!), and after evaluation we have decided to start giving her subcutaneous fluids and tube feedings here at home. If she keeps seizure free she might perk up with the fluids and food. Her prognosis is obviously not good, but she is a really darling and spunky pup, and still walking around and trying her best. By mid-morning today she was swallowing her antibiotics, wormer, and more formula from a fast-flow bottle. Last night we put tiny collars on the other black puppies so that we can tell them apart without picking them up, but we didn't put the pink the one on, so sure that she would need to be put down today with the onset of the seizures. But at the last feeding I put it securely around her neck-- a vote of confidence and faith that she is going to be around for a while.

Meanwhile, Mr. Purple (now sporting a pink & blue pawprint collar) and Mr. Blue (with a dog bone collar) are walking around their pool and making little play barks with their eyes and ears wide open. "I am a Rottweiler!" Jason thinks they are saying. Our camera is having some severe problems or else I would have photos today. We will resolve that issue ASAP!

Thanks for all the support this weekend, faithful blog readers. It means a lot! We will be posting links to the medical treatments each dog is getting later today or tomorrow to help us keep track of who is getting what.
