BHRR’S Emmett has moved under a PENDING ADOPTION!

We shall update as we can.

BHRR's Emmett is NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! YAY! Did we ever think this day would ever come! LOL

I ADORE this boy! Just adore him!!! Not a mean bone in his body, so happy and full of life and eager to please!

He can go to a home that works full-time, part-time, works from home, semi-retired, retired etc. as he is yet another very versatile dog!

I would love to see him in a home with at least one other right matched personality fit dog as he is a higher energy breed dog – BUT, he sure makes a great foot warmer! He really loves other dogs and all people and he really needs that social network of friends.

He makes my heart smile and laugh!

Since his time with me, he is almost done with the sub/excite urination – can still happen – and he should continue to outgrow that as he matures and settles AND he has really developed into a HUGE asset to home and community!

BHRR's Emmett was detwinkled(neutered) today and he weighed 27KGS(59.4 pounds). He continues to just charm all those around him!

He was a really good boy and was up on his feet and acting like nothing ever happened not long afterwards!

This boy is soooooooooooooooooo happy!

Once he has about 7-10 days to recover from his neuter, he shall be placed up for adoption. THIS is one boy that I am going to miss. He is so affectionate, obedient, fun loving, well behaved and he just lifts your spirits no matter how tough of a day you have had!!!! He is just shy of 6 months of age(born April 21st, 2012) and he is going to give a lucky home the best of lives! 🙂

BHRR's Emmett – during his neuter surgery October 15th, 2012

How EXCITED I am to write this blog! 😉

BHRR's Emmett ROCKED it at zee Vet today! His leash manners were so much better, getting there, some moments of his mind just going into la la land as he is still afterall, BHRR's Emmett! LOL

He travelled fabuly in the car!!! He had a slight moment of anxiety when I first stopped at the Vet and he thought he was being left behind yet, by the time we left and I stopped for gas on the way home, he sat like a real pro in the back seat and many admired him…so much, that I had to take him out of the car for a visit….which held up the pumps yet, no one seemed to mind! 🙂

At the Hospital HUGE HUGE HUGE hit as always! That butt just a wiggles and a waggles as he is sitting and that tail stub is going nonstop. He is praise motiviated, food/treat motivated and toy motivated. He is just so eager to please, very outgoing, social and not a MEAN bone in that body.

The Vet could not believe how stacked he was with muscle. He was very impressed. AND when one of my fellow uber special team members was rubbing his ears, he was almost dozing off in absolute pleasure…..

He had a wee bit of barking in the back run here and there yet, settled down extremely well and his sub/excite peeing is very little these days.

He had a GREAT Septembe 29th, 'DINE WITH THE BHRR' Animals Event too and had a big fan club that night here! 😉

I have two photos posted below of that evening.

At his Vet visit – BHRR's Emmett is now 5+ months of age, he weighed 26.6 KGs(58.52 pounds). Most of us are not convinced he is a pb Giant Sch. YET no matter, he is GIANT in personality and heart and soul! 🙂 He is not going to be a super tall boy yet, he is going to be very muscled(as that right matched forever loving home is going to be diligent about keeping up with not just his mental stimulation but his physical stimulation too.) and quite stocky. A very well built young man he is already!

LOVE LOVE LOVE those ears!

He received his DAPP booster and his Rabies and I am running another fecal – just to be sure all the eastie beasties are now gone! The Vet did not feel that another UA was necessary at this time and so onward we go to prepare for his neuter as he is now HEALTHY! WAHOOOOOOOOOOO! YIPPPPPPPEEE!

In the house, he really is a well behaved boy and I can take him on walks/hikes and he is very good about 'checking in' and 'watching me' and he is very bonded. He is an immensely loyal and dedicated boy.

The way he looks at me with those eyes, never challenging, just wonderfully gazing into my eyes to see what I may want next and what we may be doing next and the humour plus trust in those eyes is so deeply humbling.

To whomever adopts him, you are truly WINNING the lottery with this charming young man. He will make you laugh daily.

As he has received more and more structure and obedience, he understands what is appropriate and not and yes, he is always going to be BHRR's Emmett with that imp of fun and I never want that to go away; yet; he is going to be an obedience pro to that right home…..he will knock the socks right off you in his eagerness to please.

I cannot speak highly enough about this boy…..He is so not for the faint of heart in many ways; yet; that has all be directed and focused on appropriate displays of when to be a goofball and heck, he is wants to take the occasional piece of paper(well, ok…maybe, not the $20 bill and the $25 check he took off Sean's desk meant for BHRR today!) I am good with it!

That right matched forever loving home just cannot be a lazy one as this is a young boy who needs continued growth and direction to keep moving forward in that right area BUT it is not hard to train him…hard sometimes to focus him as while my mouth is talking, he is staring at the treat! LOL So, we are working on praise in lieu of treats and he cares not…HE just wants to please and be with you and do what you want to do and he is housebroken, crate trained and other than the rare chomp on a piece of wood furniture still; he is almost 100% trustworthy in our home. That is very impressive for only being 5 months of age!

He is smart this one and very talented. His personality reminds me very much of a Golden Retriever – that outgoing, social spazz, goofy temperament, loving all that cross his path and the sun is ALWAYS shining in his world. Despite whatever has happened in his past, his days are full of rainbows OF ALL COLOURS LOL!

As he matures and with the obedience, he is settling into the nicest of gems…….he is good about not rumbling in the house any longer and no racetracks at 3 AM for him anymore.

He really only wants to be loved and accepted for who he is…….he is a true asset to our home and to the community and that right forever loving home will keep him that way.

He can be adopted to a home that works ft, pt, semi-retired, works from home, retired etc. He is very versatile.

He would do great in a home with at least one other right matched personality fit dog, children he is good with – would not recommend super small children as he is working through that jump stage, a home that likes to walk, not a too busy home that will overstimulate him as he so enjoys his downtime too plus Sunday snoozing/naps. He loves the company of his humans.

He can be a bit of a rough house player still with some of the dogs, yet, he has learned 'gentle' and 'easy' and 'be nice' and 'baby' and he really does 'get it'. 🙂

This boy had no structure before he came to BHRR and was so confused…..HE is a model pupil now!

This boy is going to make one lucky home SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!

So, my Mr. Emmett continues to want to keep his medical bills rolling! LOL

His fecal came back with Giarrdia today….

So, we carry onward with the Metronidazole and Panacur…..

I will not vaccinate him until he is all clear medically and then neuter him.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, for all those waiting to have playdates, daytrips etc. with him, you are going to have to continue to wait!!!

BHRR's Emmett was scheduled to have his boosters on Friday September 7th and then be neutered next week BUT, the diarrhea that he has had off and on has not dissipated despite being de-wormed proatively and preventatively upon arrival to BHRR.

So, he came into work with me on Friday – I had three dogs vetted that day plus worked 10 hours just at the Hospital NOT to mention BHRR matters to tend to and I think I was rubber in the brain by the time I got home!

I know per the specialist that he could go from straining to poop to diarrhea due to his past prolapsed rectum and wanted this re-visited. Yet, his wee rump looks good! No temperature either.

So, we have postponed the vaccines and neuter which in turn, postpones when he can be placed up for adoption as we do not adopt out dogs not utd on vaccines NOR unaltered.

I also had the Vet re-listen to his heart and it is FABU! 🙂

In doing a fecal smear, he has the lovely bacterial infection of Campylobacter. Now, all dogs have Campylobacter yet, his is not normal levels. So, he is on metronidazole for the next 14 days.

I shall reschedule his boosters plus neuter once he is at the end of his course of treatment. AND when he is under, I shall remove the two deciduous teethies that he still has(he could still lose them as he is not even 6 months as of yet!).

BHRR is facing HUGE vet bills right now. With BHRR's Emmett, BHRR's Jersey, BHRR's Concert, BHRR's Hailey, BHRR"s Scarlett, BHRR's Blossom and all the annuals due for the FREEDOM DANES and we also have three new additions coming in within the week; if anyone would please consider donating to the BHRR Vet bills to help us; we would be so so so so very appreciative and filled with the absolute bestest of gratitude.

Here is a VIDEO of BHRR's Emmett shortly after his arrival to BHRR.

He is doing well! He is full integrated with all the dogs here at BHRR.

He is such a real pleasure and joy! So happy and full of himself and just charges through life without any cares…..

It is all I can do to save him from himself some days! LOL :)-

He is going to have to go to a home that is busy and active. One that is not inexperienced as he is not a first time dog owner type of dog. A home does not have to have specific Giant Schnauzer experience yet, they must be dog savvy. AND they must be committed to his continued obedience(yes, it is in our adoption contract) for him to keep moving forward to being the well adjusted, balanced and behaved boy that he is becoming.

He will just as soon walk up to the face of BHRR's Dozer(WHO adores him btw) or a JRT or a CHI to tell them all what he thinks if he feels he has something to say. He is sooooooooooooooooo social and friendly yet; will not take guff from any misbehaving gooberhead out there!

I am loving him! Just loving him!

He has not had any return of prolapsed rectum issues and we continue to monitor and as mentioned before any future adoptive forever home shall have to understand that he may have a relapse and then will require surgery. If this happens during his time at BHRR, we shall do the surgery without a moment's hesitation.

AND though, two vets have already cleared his heart, we shall re-visit this on the 7th of September at his booster visit.

With the way that things are going, she should be available for adoption two weeks after his neuter, which is scheduled for the 11th of September.

He is having a bit of a relapse with the KC and so, giving him RAW honey and making sure he is resting(not an easy feat!).

I will also visit his reverse sneezing with the Vet for when he gets started, it is a  few moments before it settles down. Not uncommon yet; want to be sure that all i's are dotted and t's crossed! Part of BHRR's proactive and preventative Vet care and our full disclosure policy with all our dogs.

I would love to see him in a home with at least one other right matched personality fit as he and BHRR's Cosette, Sir Bounce A Lots and Bunker play and play and play.

For a dog to be truly and well behaved and happy, they should be properly mentall and physically stimulated. 😉

Have I mentioned already just how much FUN he is!!! He is go go go from about 5:30 AM to 4:00 AM the following day if I let him. He is just cramming all the life he can AND there is a lot of life at BHRR to be had…. 😉 into the time he has. He was in a shelter from at least July 26th to when he came to BHRR and who knows what kind of life he had before that and so, I am trying to get him to stop and smell the roses and flowers so to speak….something that BHRR's Snowball taught me many years ago(MISS that girl!).

He is getting there. He is great when it is time to go in his crate, sleeps well and let's me know if he has to go out.

He is learning to just take it easy and relax and not be a million miles a minute. He will now crash at my feet or near me and power snooze and nap instead of falling asleep on his feet as he just does not want to miss anything.

He is learning that life is still here tomorrow for enjoyment and lots of training(something that he is just excelling in! – that butt of his sits and wags and wags in happiness plus eagerness to please!) and play time with all his friends AND he has many at BHRR. He plays and interacts with all the dogs here! NOW, that is one solid puppy!

He has had his second dose of Revolution put on recently too.

BHRR's Emmett has his booster exam scheduled for September 7th and his neuter is scheduled for September 11th, 2012.

At this time, I know that he should go to an active home. He is one busy and fun loving boy at BHRR!

He is also Mr. Social and would do great in a home with children – 8 years and up.

 

BHRR's Emmett's bw came back normal – he is a growing puppy and any small values just outside of the normal values have been explained by the Vet as him being a young giant puppy under excitement(a form of stress) at the time of the bw being taken. SO, after he has had his booster, two weeks after that; we shall neuter him.

Every time that he is going in, I shall re-visit his heart too; even though, two Vets gave him the all clear. His next Vet visit is September 10th, 2012

His wee butt looks great and we shall monitor and if he has another prolapse, we shall do surgery per his prior vet record recommendations plus his Vet at KAH.

His urinalysis came back as nsf yet; it was very dilute(he drinks a lot and pees a lot and this could just be normal for him) we shall take a first am sample in to see if there is anything found in that sample.

I just want to be sure and this is part of the BHRR preventative and proactive approach that we do with all of our dogs. Full disclosure as well!

He is being dewormed proactively and I am waiting for him to give me a nice present(that I see him do) to do a fecal. He is also now on heartworm preventative.

Before I left KAH yesterday; I was able to collect a free flow urine sample for BHRR’s Emmett for testing.

BHRR's Emmett came to work with me today and he weighed 19.4 KGs(42.68 pounds).

He was a HUGE hit the big ol' hunk!

We did presurgical bw in preparation for neutering, microchipped him and re-visited his heart, rectum and hot spot.

I also discussed how he drinks a lot and urinates a lot. I shall bring in a sample to be tested.

His heart was cleared as being normal, just as the second Vet that saw him prior to coming to BHRR.

His hot spot is great, his teeth, lungs all checked out lovely and the Vet was unable to locate the suture that had been put in place back in July. They felt that he most likely popped it as the medical notes from the other Hospital indicate that it should be exterior.

So, we shall monitor for diarrhea, tenesmus issues(he had a good normal poop today with minimal straining and no noted discomfort.) and also if the rectum does prolapse again.

If that is the case, we will have a surgical intervention. Per his Vet at KAH, it could happen again, it may not.. Just as what was in his paperwork. So, if he does not require surgery pre-adoption, any future adoptive home would need to be aware that this could be in his future.

He also was given a good ear cleaning. He was a very brave young man! 🙂

He showed all how well he sits and he was so social, happy and friendly.

We did take an initial look at his hind end and it is a bit hard to say how much is wonky puppy and how much may be something more serious and we shall re-visit that when he is older.

Thumbs up visit with Mr. Emmett!

I took a short video of him and BHRR's Cosette playing at BHRR today. CUTE!

His best friends are clearly Sir Bunker, Sir Bounce-A-Lots and BHRR's Cosette right now.

We are now safely home and I have all his previous Vet records from the Vet who vetted him prior to the O. doing the dump at the Shelter.

He is a purebred Giant Schnauzer according to those records and was born April 21st, 2012. The previous O. only had him one month……

In doing a quick review of his file; he was seen for a prolapsed rectum on July 21st and the O.'s declined much of the recommendations made their way. He also had a hot spot. He was treated with panucur(diarrhea/parasites), given Metronidazole and lactulose along with a gastro diet.  The Owner declined to go to St. Hyacinthe for more treatments.

This puppy was having both diarrhea and also tenesmus isssues.

He ws given a hydro sedation and oxygen and the prolapse was flushed and manually administered to with sterile lubricant. There was no evidence at the time of any masses or abnormalities during the rectal exam. One suture was put in place. The Owners was informed on how to keep the area cleaned and to use an Elizabethan collar.

A recheck was recommened in one week to re-visit the suture and comfort level plus possible diarrhea(shelter did report that stools were soft yet that could be due to stress, food/water change and/or parasites etc.) If all was good, the suture was to remain in place one additional week. If there was difficulty or there was a prolapse reoccurance recommended to recheck immediately.

There was also a recommendation to vist a cardiologist.

The Owner was advised to watch for diarrhea or straining to poop. Either condition would require a re-evaluation.

The Vets said that this prolapse could happen again or never.

From the Shelter Records, he has been given DAPP booster and his rabies. He has been with them since at least July 26th, 2012.

On August 4th, 2012 – The Shelter put him on Doxycycline 100 mg tablets – 2 tabs SID for 14 days. He has 4 days left.

On August 12th, he was 18.4 KGs(40.48 pounds). 

BHRR shall not neuter him until he is older and done his medications and will not be given him any boosters until he is off his medications and doing better. I also want to look further into this prolapse and also heart. All shall be properly documented in his file at KAH. I already started a note section earlier Wednesday.

HE is a sweet boy. BIG clubber feet and we need to examine those hips of his plus he has one leg longer than the other in the front(could just be puppy growth), he is still teething and does submissive/excite pee(did when I picked him up and when I brought him to KAH and then when he first met Sean etc.) However, since I have been home with him and all snuggled up in Kinsley's room(I have not yet been cleared from my major sugery last November to re-enter the master bedroom with zee big dawgs!), he has not peed once.

He was very hungry, fed him a bit of food, he drank a bit and is now flaked out right by my bed.

Being a Giant Schauzer – socialization is as key as with any dog; yet; this is a breed very much calling for the socialization with strangers and dogs etc. He has been uber friendly to all people and my kids and when I picked him up from the amazing person who kept him after meeting his transport(they were bringing in three dogs to their own program) mentioned that he was right in the face of their DDB and yet; corrected well.

I was informed that he tested well with other breeds – Bouvier etc. at the Shelter and he is excellent with his sit! He is responsive to when I speak to him in French and has bonded very quickly to me. It will be important for Sean and the kids to handle him as well as get him out and about!

Once he is over his KC, I shall be seeking approved homes for playdates, daytrips etc. It has been many months since we have done our playtrip program! 🙂 This is usually something we do monthly yet; stopped in the spring as we hosted our special DATE AUCTION.

Time for me to take Mr. Emmett out for a bathroom break and as it is almost 2 am, and though, I have much else to do; I think it is nap time!

Later today, shall be a very exciting time FOR we have not one but two very lovely dogs that have a special announcement to make! 😉 😀

BHRR's Emmett-

16 week old – Fawn/Wheaton Giant Schnauzerx or Bouvierx or IWx – cannot wait to meet him!

He has prolapse, being treated for KC and one Vet thought they heard a Grade III HM(another Vet did not hear anything)

We shall fully Vet him.

ETA to BHRR Wednesday August 15th.

INFORMATION SENT OUT WAY by the Shelter Prime:

This boy is a large 4-4.5 month old puppy mixed Giant…….he is very big for 4 months.  He has no food aggression nor resource guarding.  He is not bad on leash, but will nip at your hand in play (again, no aggression at all).  He is a typical puppy who is an owner surrender because they said that he did not like the other dog in the home.  Hard to believe as he gets along well with dogs at the shelter. 

The SPCA did some further digging on the dog and contacted the vet where the dog was last seen.  The SPCA was told that he had a prolapse however no surgery required at this time and the SPCA has not had an issue.

However, he is on day 7 of meds for kennel cough (which is mild).  His stools are also soft.  He is vaccinated but not sterlized.

Because of the prolapse the shelter prefers not to put into adoption and seeking rescue or euthanasia.  As I met this boy, he has a great disposition and I think he does deserve rescue.  The only issue of course could be another re-occurance of prolapse.  All vet documents from the treating vet will be provided.
 
The picture does not do him justice.  He really is a very handsome/goofy looking dog.

By the way – one vet heard a grade 3 heart murmur.  The other vet rechecked and could hear nothing.  So please have your vet double check this.
