ANOTHER DAISY - SHELTER (JEROME) UPDATE -
🐾 Daisy Update 🐾
We wanted to provide everyone with an update on sweet Daisy and thank those who have donated, shared, and kept her in their thoughts.
On Tuesday, Daisy returned to Healing Hands Veterinary Clinic for a recheck of her severe ear infection. Because of the extent of the infection and the amount of debris present, she had to undergo anesthesia so the veterinarian could thoroughly examine her ears and determine the extent of the damage.
The good news is that multiple foxtails were discovered and removed from her right ear as well as her left ear, which was also beginning to show signs of infection. These painful foreign bodies were likely responsible for much of the irritation and discomfort Daisy has been experiencing.
Unfortunately, the examination also revealed that Daisy's right eardrum has ruptured. While this sounds frightening, the veterinarian is optimistic that with proper treatment, time, and follow-up care, her eardrum should heal.
Daisy is now recovering and continuing her medications, but she will need additional monitoring and a future recheck appointment to ensure the infection has cleared and her ear is healing properly.
We are incredibly grateful for the support that has helped Daisy receive the care she needed. Donations toward her recent procedure at Healing Hands and her upcoming recheck appointment are greatly appreciated.
Every dollar helps us continue providing medical care for animals like Daisy who need a little extra help on their journey.
Thank you for supporting Daisy and her seven beautiful puppies. ❤️🐾
UPDATE ON DAISY - LITTLE POODLE X MAMA WITH JEROME SHELTER
First, thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and kept Daisy in your thoughts. We have an update after her veterinary visit, and unfortunately her condition is more serious than we initially realized.
Daisy's ear infection is severe and involves multiple types of bacteria. One of the bacteria identified is a rod-shaped bacteria, which can be extremely difficult to treat and is often associated with environmental contamination and chronic ear infections. This type of infection can be particularly stubborn and may require prolonged treatment and multiple veterinary visits to resolve.
Her ear was so painful and inflamed that she was shaking her head, walking in circles, and rubbing against anything she could find in an attempt to relieve the discomfort.
Because Daisy is still actively nursing her seven puppies, the veterinary team at Healing Hands was unable to sedate her for the deep ear cleaning that would normally be performed in a case this severe. At this time, they were also unable to determine the condition of her eardrum.
Daisy must return to Healing Hands on Tuesday for another examination. The veterinary team will clean her ear again and attempt to determine whether they can finally visualize her eardrum. Depending on how much the infection improves over the next few days, sedation and a deeper ear cleaning may still be necessary to assess whether there is any permanent damage.
Daisy's veterinary bill has already reached approximately $250, and additional charges will be incurred during Tuesday's follow-up visit and treatment.

🚨 URGENT MEDICAL HELP NEEDED FOR NEW MOM DAISY WITH JEROME ANIMAL SHELTER 🚨
Meet Daisy, a tiny Poodle mix mama who gave birth to seven puppies on May 26 while at Jerome Animal Shelter. She is currently being temporarily fostered so her puppies—especially the smallest runts—have the best chance to grow, thrive, and stay healthy.
While caring for her newborn babies, Daisy has developed what appears to be a severe ear infection or other serious ear condition. Her ear is filled with excessive wax, pus, and possibly blood. She is clearly in distress—constantly shaking her head, walking in circles, rubbing her head and ear against anything she can find, and struggling to get comfortable while trying to care for her litter.
This sweet mama cannot continue suffering. She needs to be seen at Healing Hands Emergency Veterinary Hospital today so we can determine what is causing her pain and begin treatment immediately.
As many of you know, emergency veterinary care is expensive, and Daisy's needs come at a time when rescues and shelters are already stretched beyond capacity. We are asking for help from our community to ensure this devoted mama receives the care she desperately needs.
💜 Donations can be made through Friends Furever Animal Rescue. Please note "DAISY" when donating so funds are directed toward her medical care.

📢 FOSTER NEEDED: Daisy and her puppies will also be seeking a temporary foster placement on or around June 19. The puppies are growing quickly, and we want to ensure they remain in a safe, stable environment while they continue to nurse and develop. Friends Furever is also still in need of fosters for six German Shepherd x pups.
If you live in the Jerome or Twin Falls area and are interested in helping this little family, please contact Jerome Animal Shelter about fostering opportunities for this family. Fostering saves lives, and providing a safe place for a nursing mama and her puppies can make all the difference in their future.
