Recovery Room

I am pleased to introduce Flash. Flash found himself in rescue when his owner passed away and her family wasn't able to take care of him. Unfortunately for Flash, he never received dental care and as a result, he's had to undergo an extremely delicate procedure to remove all of his remaining teeth – and trust me, there weren't that many left! At the same time, he was neutered so he's on the road to recovery now. However, what the doctor thought were puss pockets in his mouth were actually holes! These painful holes may have damaged his lower jawbone so he's on a course of antibiotics until his follow-up appointment. At that time, he'll have some x-rays taken of his jaw and it will be determined if he'll need to undergo more surgery to make his remaining years pain-free.

Flash is very underweight as a result of his poor teeth and inability to eat. However, Flash has shown us how truly resilient a dog is. To be able to be as joyful and bouncy as he was when he first came into my home, he had to mask the severe pain he was experiencing. Can you imagine having HOLES in your mouth and teeth that literally fell out if you touched them? How about having an odor so powerful that an entire room would smell after you opened your mouth? Diehard poodle rescue volunteers couldn't have him on their laps for more than a few minutes since the infection in his mouth was so terrible that the stench he omitted was overpowering!

Flash was a champion show dog. He earned many ribbons during his heyday but his lack of medical treatment is catching up to him now. Flash is looking for some generous donations to help with his medical care. He is not ready for his new home, yet so please consider making a contribution for Flash through our Angel Program to help get him ready!

Flash is a wonderful, dynamic little poodle who deserves to live a life filled with joy and treats, lots of treats! If his story touches you the way it has us, please make a contribution today. Flash is counting on you!

UPDATE: Flash had his follow-up appointment on Monday. Unfortunately for Flash, the holes in his mouth haven't healed the way the vet thought they should and he's going to have to see a veterinary dental specialist. If his gums aren't taken care of properly, the holes, which lead directly to his sinus cavities, will become infected causing Flash tremendous pain and discomfort.

The good news is that Flash is a different poodle since having his remaining teeth removed and the infection cleared up in his mouth and jaw (oh, and being neutered, too). His eyes are bright and he is so, SO happy to see anyone who comes to the house. He joins in to play with Ashley and Gizmo (see the Rescue Me! page) and his other foster siblings and eats with such gusto! He cleans all the bowls after breakfast and dinner and is slowly starting to gain some much needed weight.

Flash has a bumpy road ahead of him and his foster mother is going to do everything she can to make it as smooth as possible for him. If you can help out with an Angel or two, Flash would appreciate it. His bills to-date are over $1,000 and he still has a long way to go but Flash's determination and spirit are strong and we think he's worth it!

Please Be An Angel

Here's to a speedy recovery and the ability
to enjoy some good food in Flash's foster home!! Scrap & Louie

Home The Adoption Process Be a Poodle Angel PRNE FAQ's Happy Tails Is a Poodle Right for Me News and Events Recovery Room Rescue Me - Please! Volunteer	You may remember beautiful Zoe who was recently on the "Rescue Me" page. She was adopted and off to what we all hoped would be her forever home. After a few weeks, Zoe started to feel ill. She was lethargic and not interested in eating. Her owners called PRNE and Zoe was immediately hospitalized. Support care and diagnostics began The diagnosis was that Zoe has Addisons Disease. Zoe managed to charm the staff at the hospital and was showered with love. Sadly, Zoe's new owners were not able to undertake her care, so she has returned to PRNE. Currently, Zoe is doing very well. She is in a foster home and has all the energy of a seventeen month-old standard. Zoe enjoys her foster sisters and brother and became a member of the pack instantly. There is every reason to believe that with adequate treatment, Zoe will live a full and long life. We recently heard about a Great Dane who lived to 14 with Addisons! It is a very manageable disease. Zoe's hospitalization was costly and she would so much appreciate it if you would become her angel. Stay tuned for updates on her progress Please Be An Angel Elizabeth Palmer Jean, Peter, and Brynne for Tia, love Judy Love, Lola
