My thoughts and prayers for full recovery are with Halo and Nova both.
These amazing girls along with their selfless handler, Karen, have voluntarily helped hundreds of other pets and owners in the BC Lower Mainland. By searching, tracking, coaching owners on the best practices to bring their lost pets home. By being the calm in incredibly stressful situations. Donating their time and experience 24/7, accepting donations to help pay for fuel, dog food and equipment.
Halo has fallen ill and is in the Boundary Bay Animal Hospital, her diagnosis is still being investigated. Nova, though not ill enough to be admitted, is still ill as well.
Karen would sell her soul and home for her girls.
If you are able to help Karen, who’d give so much to help anyone, please consider it.
May paying vet bills not be of concern to her at this stressful time.

I am Anne-Marie, I have known Karen for quite a few years through our work. She has al… Anne-Marie Wilkinson needs your support for Help Halo with vet bills

❤️MUST READ FOR BREEDERS A Cold Stomach is a Tomb. Never Feed a Cold Baby. 🌡️🍼

It is the most common mistake made by well-meaning rescuers. You find a cold, abandoned kitten or puppy. Your instinct screams: "It's hungry! Feed it!" Stop. If you feed a hypothermic animal, you are likely killing it. In the US veterinary world, this is the #1 rule of neonate rescue.

🛑 1. The Enzyme Shutdown Digestion is a heat-dependent chemical reaction. A puppy's digestive enzymes work at 98°F-100°F. If its body temp drops below 94°F, the gut shuts down (Ileus). Peristalsis stops. The stomach becomes a sealed bag.

🤢 2. The Fermentation Bomb If you pour milk into a cold stomach, it doesn't digest. It rots. The milk sits there and begins to ferment. Bacteria multiply, producing gas and toxins. The stomach bloats, crushing the lungs and poisoning the blood (septicemia). The animal dies of "Bloat" or toxicity, while feeling full. It is a slow, painful death caused by the food meant to save it.

🔥 3. The Protocol: Heat FIRST, Food LATER Your only job is Thermoregulation. Ignore the crying for food.

Warm the animal slowly (heating pad, next to your skin) until it reaches at least 98°F.

Check the gums (they should be pink and warm, not grey and cold).

Only then can you offer warm formula. A hungry warm baby will survive. A fed cold baby will die.

The Mantra: "If it's cold, the stomach is closed."



📌 QUICK FAQ
Q: How do I know if they are warm enough? R: Re**al Thermometer. 🌡️ It is the only accurate way. If you don't have one, feel the inside of their mouth with your finger. If it feels cold to the touch (colder than your finger), do NOT feed. It must feel like the inside of a warm human cheek.

Q: What if they are dehydrated? R: Sugar water on gums. 💧 If they are crashing, rub a little Karo syrup or sugar water on their gums (it absorbs through the mucus membranes) to keep blood sugar up while you warm them. But do not put liquid down the throat until they are warm.

My nephew introduced me to toothpaste tablets. He says his teeth feel like he just came from the dentist hygienist clean. Different companies make them I see.
Why am I talking toothpaste!

ZYLITOL.

’s in all the ones I’ve seen. First ingredient even.
Highly toxic to your dogs.
Sized and in packaging very similar to treats.
Just a warning to take care is all.
