Saturday night i was helped the rescue group that i am a part of with a transport they just got in. They got 15 puppies and a couple bigger dogs. I never felt so bad for these dogs before until i saw this transport. The puppies were dirty and they smelled extremely bad, like poop. We found out before they arrived with the puppies one didnt make it. Its really sad because they did everything they could to keep it alive, but it just couldnt fight it. We washed about 10 to 12 puppies. It was a huge learning experience for myself. They got 5 puppies that looked extremely sick. We tried feeding them and only one would eat. The rest just layed down and looked miserable. We had to give each puppy an iv to rehydrate them. We gave all the pups an antibiotic and a few other medicine that i cant remember. We got to name all the puppies that came over. There were two black lab pups that we named Scarlet and Butler. There were two brown pups that we named Bucky and Brandi. We also named these pups Horton and Ciara. The last 5 puppies we named Minnie, Mater, Riley, Tiki, and Rico. These were the pups needed to be seperated from one another because they are so sick. We found out today that one pup, Riley, didnt make through the night. It really sad when you are trying to do everything but they just cant pull through. I will never forget that day because i learned so much.
