BHRR's Moncton ?? – October 15th, 2014

There is no easy way to make a post of this type and, my whole family plus the approved temp foster home(they had BHRR's Moncton since October 6th) are all reeling in shock right now.

The Vet Hospital that saw BHRR's Moncton has offered to do a necropsy for us. We hope that we can be given some closure. As they were trying to figure things out, he suddenly passed away as he was resting.

He had overcome so many medical obstacles and, was finally learning to trust and play with people and other dogs and, learn all about toys and, had the confidence to begin to sleep in our bedroom and ask for love AND, I cannot believe he is suddenly gone…..
His personality was really beginning to shine as he blossomed like a lovely flower from a previous life of neglect, cruelty and unkindness to, one of structure, obedience, consistency, patience, proper nutrition, exercise and, so much adoring love, not to mention a fabu Vet Team that included specialists.

There was even a home waiting so patiently in the wings to submit an application to adopt him when he was finally ready to be placed up for adoption.

He touched my life and heart incredibly so since I was first contacted about him on June 9th, 2014 and, he lived with us as a cherished member of our heart and home from June 17th to October 6th, when he was finally healthy in body and spirit to be temp fostered.

He almost floated when he moved, so calm and, an 'ol soul' type of boy and, gentle as can be unless he was in one of his spunky moods and, then 'bring it on' and, we were working on the 'must not try to chomp off Gwennie's arm or leg' or take her pant leg off! So many of my scrubs and, P.J's. bottoms have BHRR's Moncton's teeth marks or are missing a piece of material……..he could be so goofy when, he was caught up in the moment of living and, forgot about all those things that had made him such a serious boy….

He was even at PV Stittsville on October 5th as part of their 'THANKS FOR GIVING' Event and, was perfectly fine in health.
I am just reeling in stunned silence and, I already let Joy and Tammie know first thing this AM, a few hours after he had passed away…..
There are no words….nothing I can say or do is going to bring him back and, nothing I can say or do is going to answer all the questions I have and, make my heart stop bleeding….

He was so special……..so amazing and what a beautiful monkey inside he truly was………

This photo was from his special professional photo shoot that Liz Bradley did for him on September 12th, 2014. A picture of gorgeous health and, head up in curiosity plus comfortableness in his environment……

I just cannot believe he is gone………RIP my stunning boy….I am so sorry…….so sorry……I did not even get a chance to say good-bye. 🙁 🙁

I received a call from BHRR's Moncton's temp foster mom today. Apparently, over the long weekend, BHRR's Moncton began to pick at his food(he had been doing so well! 🙁 ) and, then did not eat at all on Monday. He is drinking she said, and, I inquired about vomiting plus diarrhea and energy level and temperature, was he painful to palpate, did something happen to his neuter incision(it was great prior to temp fostering and, did not think this was the problem) and a million other questions, that his amazing temp foster mom answered with patience and detail. 🙂

She had not noted any diarrhea and, no vomiting except late on Monday once time(yet, she could not be 100% sure it was him over one of their other dogs) and, energy level was down yet, not lethargic. She said he did not have a temperature nor was it low. I said I supported getting him into the Vet immediately and, the temp foster home said, that she agrees that he should be seen yet Tuesday would be fine. They think perhaps the hustle and bustle of their own Thanksgiving weekend stressed him. BHRR's Moncton has seen two Open Houses and, a Dine With The BHRR Doggies event and, his eating habits did not change yet, he has only been in this home since October 6th, 2014, so possible.

I am worried though and, the temp foster home will contact me ASAP if anything changes and, rush him into emerge and, I will meet her there. This boy cannot afford to lose ANY weight. I am worried about dehydration and, what 'could 'be causing this change in him as he was doing quite well in the approved temp foster home up to now, and, like a mama bear am concerned. It is hard when you do not have your hands on the dogs yet, I trust the home and, will post an update when I can.

Keep him in your thoughts!

BHRR's Moncton at the Pet Valu Stittsville's 'THANKS FOR GIVING EVENT' He did really really really well! By the end of the day, he was exploring the store! 🙂 He is not yet ready to be placed up for adoption and, as he did well today(still, very quiet around people he did not know and, things like the bells on the door to the store made him nervous, including fast, flighty children), he will go to his temp foster home tomorrow.

BHRR's Moncton – September 11th, 2014 was the day of his neuter. It was pushed back a couple of days.
Bills today: $815.25+ Tax
He weighed 37 KGs(81.40 pounds)
Getting prepped for his neuter – he is cryptorchid. We also did nails, a good ear cleaning and, trimmed up the final two spots on his elbows that had some small mats left. The one picture of his incision does not show the whole row of sutures(I stopped counting after 12) along the whole other side of his penis from the exploratory to find the one testicle.
Under anesthetic, his jaw was thoroughly examined again and, with his maturing/developing with is bones etc., all is a thumbs up!

BHRR's Moncton is scheduled for his neuter on September 9th. We are hoping that the one testicle is right under the skin and, we will re-visit that jaw while he is under anesthetic. He is eating SOOOOO much better now, and, I love that! Still quite thin, yet, this is also due to him growing. 🙂

He is still so uber small for a true 'giant' 😉 and, quite long and, he has decided that each night, our bedroom is where is now feels brave enough to sleep. HE loves being outside n the cooler weather and, I have to almost drag him back in. He still loves digging holes to China – in fact, I think he has past China and, is circling back to home with his digging! 😉 Any right matched forever loving home has got to know that he LOVES to dig. I have such a great son and husband, for as fast as he digs the holes, they fill them up and, he digs again and, on and on…. 😀

He has a secret mission special trip scheduled on September 12th(with BHRR's August) and, we shall see when he is ready for the big reveal.

He needs a quiet home, yet, not one that is going to keep him hidden from the world, yet, one that will present opportunities to him, but not push him past his comfort zone boundaries.

He is still nervous and a bit worried and, wants to go to a quick catatonic state and, then a hurried retreat, when strangers are around, yet, he is more and more staying in the same room and, not retreating to a distance in the house, as opposed to outside, or going into an open crate and, sleeping(stress) or, going to a corner to almost hide.

Baby steps…patience, time, consistency, structure, obedience and, love…..he will become the dog he can be. AND, as he is mighty fine now, WOW, look at his future!

We shall see how he does at our 7th ANNUAL 'DINE' Event at BHRR at the end of the month.

BHRR's wonderful 'feel good' mushy moment for today! 
BHRR's Moncton, the terrified, almost catatonic Newf Puppy FINALLY initiated a little play with me! It was a bit 'rough' about the edges and, heavy on the mouth yet, he did it!!! 
I think he surprised himself that he actually did it!  🙂 
I just about burst into tears and, yup, I did well up….  😉
He just bounced up to me, snagged at my pant leg and promptly ran into the opposite direction and, 'rip' went the pants…..so worth it! He then came back and, was play mouthing with my hands and, even play bowed once. He did some clumsy puppy, a bit dysplastic and, flat footed zoomies around me and, did a dead stop and started again and, in a blink of an eye he was off running in his crooked style…..
HQD was right by his side doing her wobbly bobbly trot to make sure he was 'ok' for, he is sometimes a risk to himself as he figures out those legs, co-ordination and, the freedom of being able to use his feet and legs at will. 
It may only have been a few moments yet, it was beautiful!!!  
Happy sunshine Monday from BHRR's Moncton and BHRR. 🙂

UPDATE: BHRR's Moncton – July 30th, 2014

He is now 35.3 KGS(77.66 pounds) and, still uber skinny YET, the good news is that with the growth he has done since arriving to BHRR, the dental specialist that saw him on July 30th said that, his canine teeth no longer bang/close on each other…some slight rubbing yet, he will not require any extractions at the time of neuter! He was not overly concerned with his lower jaw and, will take a much closer look when under anesthetic.


The Vet thought he could feel the undescended testicle under the skin and, that is also good news!

We are still trying to figure out the feeding and putting on weight and, almost all matts are gone now(only some on his elbows yet, he is letting me do more and more with him). His coat is becoming so soft and healthy looking!

He is a very small male Newf, possibly X and, as always, to that right matched home, it is not going to matter!


BHRR's Moncton was also SOOOOOO much more brave this time around at the Vet and, taking treats more from folks and, though, he looked towards me for comfort and guidance, he did not even have to sedated this time around and, yes, his hind end is not the best….but, he is getting more muscle tone/mass and, that is greatly helping! He is no where near ready to try and do alternative therapies like Canine Water Wellness to help at this time. He has a long road ahead with his emotional rehab and building up strength before that happens.

He is so quiet and, sweet and LOVES to dig tunnels to China….LOL

Pneumonia is all cleared up, eye infections resolved, feet are lifting and, he will always be eastie/westie due to breeding. Papilloma virus resolved and, making slow yet, great progress forward!

Photo's are from July 30th @ KAH

BHRR's Moncton shall see our dental expert at KAH on July 30th. They are on vacation up to then. I have figured out part of the reason why 'kibble' has not been eaten so well. He seemed to have no clue what kibble was. I went from softening up some kibble with wet canned food and then, some water to now gradually transitioning to just kibble and, though, he eats slowly, he is eating and putting on weight as we had to put a whole new collar on him. 🙂

We shall see what the Vet says about those canines and, if he should have any extractions and, how his lower jaw appears to be to him.

BHRR`s Moncton had good first BHRR 'EXPERIENCE' Mini Open House on Sunday. He came out of his open crate a few times and, in just gently reminding our almost 40 guests per their inf. package, to just passively ignore, he treated everyone to his presence. 🙂 

He is still very mouthy with some of the other dogs and with me, yet, he is learning 'gentle' and, last night, he slept out of his crate for the first time. He kept wanting to get on my bed, and, that is a no-no. 😉 

He is eating softened kibble with wet right now, and, drinking well and, quite playful with his friends. 

BHRR remains extremely grateful for the support towards his cause He has a long way to go yet, what a great potential dog so deserving! 🙂

BHRR's 'EXPERIENCE' Mini Open House

1) He has ortho issues – possibly a combination of genetic and neglect(poor nutrition, lack of proper exercise and Vet care)
2) He is collapsed in the pasterns and flat footed, bad hips, eastie westie, swollen legs/feet
3) He is battling pneumonia
4) He has the papilloma virus
5) He is inguinal cryptoid
6) Skinny
7) Full of matts
8) Possible Jaw Concern – Abuse? Genetics? Other Trauma?
9) Scared and depressed

UPDATE: BHRR's Moncton's in-house bw was normal, temp was 39.1(so no more fever! YAY!), he was microchipped, heart sounds normal, lungs are doing great on the Doxy for the pneumonia.


I shaved the hair between his toes and underneath his feet after sedation and we could then see how raw the areas are from being licked. Food allergies? Seasonal? Boredom? Stress? Poor Grooming maintenance? We shall work on figuring things out as we go.


I did his nails and, got them nice and short. I took off some more surface matts on him and, will schedule a good grooming session for him as he becomes less stressed. The dry skin and, lots of dirt and, ickies that came off the areas I did on his elbows. Today, I was able to bathe him from his neck to his rump and slightly down his legs with some oatmeal based shampoo. More as he settles in.


The Vet watched him gait prior to sedation and his hips and gait is really wonky. It is too early to do proper x-rays on his hind end to determine a lot but, under sedation, his Vet got a great look at manipulating his hips and joints and no crepitus noted at this time.


With his collapsed pasterns, flat feet etc. the Ester C should help greatly. With good nutrition, proper vet care and exercise, we should see marked improvement yet, he is a victim to bad genetics(breeding), and sadly, neglected/abused.


His jaw plus teeth had a thorough exam also under sedation and, he has his upper two canines bumping his bottom two canines and, the Vet that is the Hospital pro will also exam him and quite possible, he may need two extractions. The Vet really did a lot of manipulation on his jaw and, it is not quite normal and, they will defer to the expertise of the resident dental pro at KAH.

His eyes are good, no ectropion noted and, the infections are clearly up! 🙂


He has a small growth on his muzzle – closer to his nose area and, that will be taken care of also.

Hope that the second testicle is right under the skin and not up in his abdomen. 🙁


I think that is it for this update…..


AND, thank you SOOOOOOO much to Cynthia, Geoffrey and Heather for donating to his Vet Bills to date!!! Thank you! BHRR's Moncton thanks you also!

BHRR's Moncton – June 19th, 2014

 

BHRR's Moncton is scheduled to go to KAH on Thursday for 5:10 PM. I am really wanting to get that jaw and front plus back end checked out. He is eating 'stew' canned food and homecooking yet, cannot eat kibble or anything hard. He is drinking, and playful and a bit 'rough' in the mouth and you can tell that he has used his mouth to try and 'intimidate' others and, we are working on that….. 😉  I want to get a second opinion on lungs etc. as well from one of the Vets I work with. I touched base with the shelter to ask when was the last time he ate, yet, all they were able to tell me is that he was not eating there.

I think he was also kept outdoors for that is where he feels most comfortable and, he is figuring out the a/c vent though…thanks to Mr. Bubbles teaching him ALL about that! LOL For safety he, will go right to the crate that was set-up for him and settle down. It is not KC that he has…he is long past that…he is on to the pneumonia. 🙁

I am de-worming him and he remains on the Doxy that was dispensed by the Shelter with a dose of 300 mg BID for 16 days.

Got him! Do not see any mix in him at all….100% Byber Newf. Thanks Karen!! Thanks Tammie!! He clearly will need x-rays and to consult with othro(hind and front end) – we were told yesterday that the Vet found an ortho defect(possibly congenital from the paperwork  and, needs, a specialist yet, nothing more is mentioned re: the findings and what leg or legs etc. There was a reference to the hips as well, yet, no further details provided) and, lots of green snot, possible eye infections and, will get a good grooming. Did not see too many Papilloma's upon initial looking him over and, I even got him to play a bit. Love those chipmunk cheeks and will get in their further to be sure there is nothing medical….another lovely boy being sent to BHRR! Yes, he was scared and shy and, so much potential!!

Last weight on file from shelter was 77.88 pounds and, he is quite lean.

These two photo's are from when I just picked him up….his eyes have been cleaned and, he will get a much deserved and needed bath within the next 24 hours. He has drank water, peed twice and, is not eating. I was told that he was not eating at the shelter. I am worried about early stages of pneumonia.

He will be headed to KAH on Thursday.

HE is ONLY the third dog that BHRR has brought into our programs since December of 2013.

He is going to need some angels to help with his Vet Bills that are going to come if anyone would possible consider his cause…. 🙁 He will need to also be neutered, vaccinated, have bloodwork etc. He is so sweet and, I would say that he is no more than 8 months of age, most likely around 7. Mason had him playing on the lawn in the pouring rain today. Typical Newf! 🙂

BHRR's Moncton – June 17th, 2014

On Monday June 9th, I received a message that a Newf Pup was in need of our assistance.

This little guy(Newf, could be pure backyard bred Newf or possibly a X with Berner or Bouv perhaps has been suggested) – I will see how he appears in person, about 35KGS (77 pounds) is a victim to divorce and, at around 7 months of age, is so depressed and scared at the shelter. He also has the papillomavirus.

BHRR has only brought in two dogs to date in 2014, April 5th, BHRR's Leroy and April 27th, BHRR's Ethel and, is working on the transport details for our third, the palliative EM, BHRR's Zayna(hoping for June 22nd).

With two dogs under a PENDING ADOPTION and very sadly, the ever closer loss coming up of a BHRR Haven dog, we feel comfortable committing to what shall only be our 4th dog for 2014 so far, into our programs. We may have another two BHRR dogs moving under a PENDING ADOPTION shortly. We will update the blogs as we can.

We may not be able to bring in the same numbers that many other r/q groups do, yet, the ones that we can help, it is our way of helping the 'next in need' of BHRR, that we can!

I am calling him BHRR's Moncton, in honor of loved ones tragically killed in Moncton, NB last Friday, lost not just to our own hearts yet, to our family's heart also – both on Sean and my own side  – that work as RCMP Officers in the line of duty daily – that their memories will live on in all the laughter, smiles, and, experiences had. A world mourns and, BHRR's Moncton by his very name, shall be a remembrance in honor of great special people that were not just RCMP Officers, yet, dear friends and family to so many of us in the community.

ETA is Tuesday June 17th, 2014

NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
