From her foster family:
Just to update you on how little Molly is getting on. Well she is certainly finding her ‘paws’ and growing in confidence by the hour. Of course we are still sussing each other out trying to find out about each other. So far this is what she has told us;
Likes sitting on our lap and will snuggle in but not yet ready for cuddles or kisses. . . and may never be, but thats ok. . .
Loves being oudoors with us in the garden for short periods ..
Likes short walkies and great on lead. . .
Most likely housetrained but just confused at the min, what with all the distress of change and loss…
Does not like sleeping in her new doggie bed . . . Its armchairs all the way. . .has picked out the big armchair beside patio door cos it catches all the sun rays
Likes her new big brother ‘Frankie’, she looks to him to let her know if something is ok or not. He a cool confident type who knows the score around here
Likes her food, chicken is yummy, today tried out Royal Canin for small older doggies.From her foster family
Just to update you on little Mollie. I brought her back to my vet on Saturday 9th and he is pleased with her progress. She was 2.9kg on Monday last and by Saturday she was 3.1kg. She has started to get a little fussier about her food and now refuses chicken and liver and has reverted back to eating only Royal Canin (Mature dogs over 8yrs).
She continues on antibiotics for the infection in her mouth/bad teeth and will stay on these untill her operation.
Mollie endears herself to everyone she meets, although she certainly has a mind of her own and lets us know when she does’nt like something.
She loves running up and down the back lawn doing twirls and dancing on her back legs, although she will only stay outside for a few minutes before running back inside, I think she’s afraid she may be left outside. She is good with other dogs and is’nt really bothered by our 4 pet chickens and mostly ignores them.
House training is going ok but slowly !!
Mollie is due to have her operation on Thurs 21st Feb. she will have 4/5 mammary tumours removed, at least 9 teeth extracted and she will be spayed.
We really wish this poor little girl didn’t have to face such major surgery but unfortunately the choice is not ours because we have to do the best for her in the long run.modo.JPGmodo2.JPGLittle Mollie looks very much like our Jessie who passed away last October, another very beautiful fox. Sending plenty of good energies for the operation, I’ll be thinking of her.
This little girl came through her operation and is doing very well..her foster family have been through so much that they can’t let her go so she is now in her forever home
Please say a prayer for this little girl….
Dogs in Distress helped to rescue a little Pomeranian called ‘Mollie’ from Dunboyne Pound on the last day of January this year. She was 9 yrs old, had 6 mammary tumours, badly rotten teeth and weighed only 2.9kg. Myself and my husband fell in love with her from day one and subsequently adopted her to live with us and our pom ‘Frankie’.
Sweet little Mollie has been a real fighter and came through major surgery in April. She has brought such joy to us and we have watched her grow in confidence. She put on weight and her coat was like silk. She became the boss in our house. She has been in our lives just over 3 months but we were only saying last night how she has become such an important part of our family, that we cant remember what it was like without her.
Sadly ‘Mollie’ has become unwell over last 2 weeks, she is vomiting back her food and loosing weight rapidly. She has lost 10% of her body weight despite all the efforts of our vet. She has been on medication for past fortnight and we have tried every type of diet we can think of but nothing has helped. Yesterday our vet recommended Royal Canin Sensitive which is based on duck/tapioca, which she refused to eat. I cooked her duck and tapioca instead which she ate however in the last hour she has been sick again.
Our next step is to get her x-rayed/blood tests. However our vet suspects she may have secondary tumours in which case her prognosis is not good. We are devastated because we thought Mollie would have at least a few years to enjoy life with us and to know what it was like to be loved. Sadly this may not be the case.
I’m sorry if this e-mail reads as really negative and maybe Mollie, our little fighter will amaze us all and come through this, I truely hope so.
I will let you know how Mollie gets on.
Keep the hope alive. You have made a massive difference in her little life, you love and care for her and that is all she needs. You will, no doubt, do you best for her and no-one can ask more. I send you all the best wishes in the world and my hopes are your hopes for Mollie. She has her family and that is a great thing for any dog. Best wishes to all.
