Arizona's story

This little "girl" was brought to the home of the rescue coordinator on Monday April 10th, around 4 p.m. The people who brought her had remembered that the coordinator's home was a place of help and refuge for pups, especially sick ones.

The puppy was rushed to the Sylvan Lake Vet Clinic where she was examined and given some medicine. For the next three days, there were many phone calls and some late night trips to the Sylvan Lake Vet Clinic where the puppy, now named "Arizona" was started on i.v. fluids.
She continues on i.v. fluids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea meds and is expected to turn the corner in about 3 days! She is a stout-hearted little gal who has a long way to go before she is restored to health. Thankyou to Dr. Lana Keating at Parkland Vet Clinic for being available also!

When you donate to Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society, you are making it possible for Arizona to regain her health and have a second chance at life. Please call Melanie at 403-887-2925 or Stu at 403- 227-2762 for further details about Arizona or donations!

UPDATE: 24 April 06

Arizona, "Ari" is free from her i.v. now, and eating a special gastric diet (very expensive) along with rice pablum. She has had a battle with vomitting so she has to eat small amounts every two hours. When she first was introduced back to solid food, she ate 1 tsp of noodles every half hour. Very fortunately volunteer Wilf has been able to spend huge amounts of time, as has her foster mom, to look after this sweet little one.

"Ari" has mange as well, so we will start treating her again this week. She had a lovely ecto-soothe bath yesterday and was glad to be clean.

UPDATE: 09 May 06

Arizona is still struggling with her digestive system but is making progress

She will begin a course of vaccinations when Dr. Mattson of the Sylvan Lake Vet Clinic deems she is safe to do so.

UPDATE: 17 May 06

Arizona has been adopted.
