She had been dewormed once and had her DHPP vaccine done recently.

 

We also placed her on antibiotics as a skin infection was noted. She appears to have some mammary masses that we shall investigate further with our veterinarian team. The shelter is limited in what they can do.

 

Once she arrives, we will do more bloodwork, a thorough exam, boosters, give additional vaccines, place on flea/tick, heartworm preventative, and de-worm again.

 

I have paid off her vet bill to date, and if all goes well, she will arrive next Friday or Saturday.

 

Thanks to a generous $100 donation, I have been able to purchase a leash, collar, and dog bowls. I am lending her foster home one of the chilly dog coats I have from one of my own Danes.

 

If anyone may consider donating an XL Costco dog bed – she never had any comfort in her past life was kept outside – we would be so grateful.

 

If anyone wishes to make a financial donation instead, they can be made via PayPal to gwen@birchhaven.org or via email transfer to contactbhrr@gmail.com

 

She is only the fifth dog we have been able to assist in 2023.

 

Miss Leah is in need of a special Secret Santa of her own! Please let us know if you would like to spoil her for Christmas!
