We want to give everyone an UPDATE on Piper. ❤️
We are relieved to share that Piper was hospitalized for intravenous fluid therapy and diagnostic imaging. Her initial radiographs were suspicious for a partial intestinal obstruction; however, repeat radiographs confirmed that the material had passed, and there is currently no evidence of an obstructive pattern.
Her primary diagnosis is severe gastroenteritis.
Bloodwork showed normal kidney function and a mild, non-specific elevation in a liver enzyme (ALT). A f***l sample was also submitted for a PCR panel to investigate possible infectious causes, and we are currently waiting for those results.
Given Piper’s history, a possible underlying food sensitivity or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is also being considered. We were also told that a littermate with similar symptoms responded well to a novel protein diet, so this may be something her veterinary team explores as part of her ongoing care.
Most importantly, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to Piper’s care. We are incredibly grateful for every single donation, no matter the amount. ❤️
Thanks to your generosity, all of Piper’s veterinary expenses have been covered so far, with some funds remaining. This is such a relief, as we don’t yet know what the next little while will bring or what additional care she may need.
We are so thankful to have a fund available for Piper should she need it. If there are funds remaining after her care, we will use them to help other dogs in our care who need veterinary attention.
Thank you all for standing behind Piper and supporting her through this. It truly means so much to us. 🐾❤️
A special thank you to the veterinary team at Port Hope Veterinary Emergency Clinic for their excellent care and to Bernice for taking Piper to her home until she is well enough to be transferred to her foster family.
🐾 Please help little Piper. ❤️
Piper is a sweet 4-year-old poodle who has been sick for several days. She is very loved, but sadly, her owner simply didn’t have the financial means to pay for the diagnostics and care she desperately needed. With a heavy heart, Piper was surrendered to Just Paws so that she could get the medical attention she needs.
Piper has now been admitted to the hospital and will need to stay overnight. Today’s testing revealed that she has a blockage, either in her colon or intestine. Tomorrow, we will know whether she will need surgery.
Right now, we are hoping for the very best for this sweet little girl. ❤️
If you are able to make a donation toward Piper’s veterinary care, any amount would mean so much and will help give Piper the chance to get the treatment she needs.
🙏 Please consider donating for Piper and keep this little girl in your thoughts. Every donation, share, and kind word helps.
🐾❤️ Come on, Piper. You’ve got this. ❤️🐾
