Thank you for your donations to get "BERNARD" healthy again

Bernard

FINALLY -  he is playing with his foster siblings!

Yay! First hike

new update on BERNARD

Picture
(by his foster mommy Jennifer):

Bernard on his first hike with Cash & Cali. He did so good! He loved it! And did very well when he met other pups.

also:

I am SO PROUD to say that Bernard slept all night in our bedroom and not in his crate! He slept between Cash & Cali and we are keeping our fingers crossed that he no longer needs his crate. I have seen him relax so much since I began fostering him not even 2 weeks ago!






Enjoy new pictures of
"BERNARD" in his foster home.

He is getting along well with the other dogs, and especially Cali likes to sleep with "Bernardie".

Thank you, Jennifer for giving our little mange boy the chance to heal in a loving home.

THERE IS A GOD, and her name is Jennifer!

Jennifer is an awesome volunteer with a huge heart. So huge in fact, that she simply had to take this little, sick Bernard home with her and Boxer Cash & Cali to give him a quiet, warm, safe, clean place to get better. She promised updates and photos, so be patient ...

after the release from hospital

Bernard is a lover and a very happy boy.  Actually, he is a big flirt with volunteers and will kiss just about anyone who talks to him sweetly. Bernard  turned on his charm, and volunteer Jennifer took him home today to foster.  He also went for a walk today with several other SAR dogs, Trixie, Holly, and Paisley.  Here are some pictures of Bernard making his move on volunteer Jamie.  (he started with by putting his paw on her knee).
 

update by Jackie:

I picked up Bernard today  from St Francis Animal
Hospital in Hacienda Heights. He is looking and feeling so much better.  Bernard had another sulfur-lime bath yesterday,  along with daily shots of antibiotics and ivermectin. Fur is starting to come  out where there was only scabs and bare skin. The abscess on his check is  completely gone. He no longer has kennel cough.  It is an amazing transformation from what he loked like, and what he must have felt like, almost 2 weeks ago.   Dr. Shenouda and his  staff took amazing care of this precious boy.  Bernard has made such great  progress, he was discharged today, 3 days earlier than expected.  Bernard is doing great!  Here are some pictures of happy Bernard and his wonderful vet, Dr.  Shenouda. 

update BERNARD (01/07/12)

(by Jackie): I went to see Bernard  today at St Francis Animal Hospital.  I spoke with Dr James who is taking great  care of Bernard.  Bernard is continuing with an antibiotic and ivermecton shot  daily.  The swelling on his abscessed left checked has diminished and is back to  normal.  His kennel
cough is almost totally gone.  He is still red and swollen  on his feet/paws from the mange but is no longer bleeding. Dr James expects that  he will need to stay at the hospital for another week but Bernard is clearly  feeling much better!  I took him for a walk .  He was excited to get outside to  get some sun and a little  exercise. I am also thrilled to report that I  received my first kiss from Bernard. He's quite a good kisser!

update BERNARD

I saw Bernard today  at St. Francis Animal Hospital in Hacienda Heights.  Dr. James and his staff are  taking great care of him.  He is already doing much better. 
He is no longer on  IV but will continue with daily shots of anti-biotics and Ivermectin (for his  mange).  He has had one lime sulfur bath to kill the mites
causing mange.  He  will need at least 2 per week for some time since the mange is so advanced.  His  skin is looking better...some of the areas that were hard
and scabby are now  improved and soft.  Dr. James is hoping to see some small hair growth within a  week or so. The large abscess on his left cheek was due to
an infected  laceration.  The area was thoroughly cleaned and drained.  The swelling is still  there but is much smaller.  He is still coughing due to kennel cough, but that  also is better. 
 
Bernard was so happy to see me, Dr James, and Jasmine (vet tech) today!  
This boy is amazing...he doesn't care that he's had a tough life, has sores over  his body, an infected cheek,  and feels horrible, he is thrilled to get some  love and attention.  Bernard is a great dog, beautiful on the inside.  Once he's  healthy, he will be gorgeous on the outside. 

Please keep Bernard in your thoughts and prayers, and that his progress continues.  Sachi will keep everyone posted.  Here are some pictures from  today.  They aren't good, but we'll get some better ones in the next few days.

update BERNARD

by Jackie Snell
Bernard is at St. Francis Animal Hospital.  Dr.  Sam examined him today and recommended he stay at the hospital for treatment for the next two weeks.  Bernard definitely has a bad case of demodex mange (not the contagious type).  He was giv...en his first lime sulfur dip today.  Bernard is weak so he is on IV with anti-biotics.  He will undergo surgery tomorrow to deal with the abscess in his left cheek, and since he will be under, he will be neutered at the same time.  He does have kennel cough, but mild relative to his other issues.  Bernard has a lot of healing to do.  He is a young boy with a long life  a head of him.  Please keep him in your thoughts and  prayers.

Bernard is the latest addition to the Sachi family. We found him
yesterday  New Year's Eve at the Bakersfield shelter.  The shelter was closed for New  Year's Eve but the wonderful workers at Bakersfield let us in.  We saw Bernard  and knew we had to save him.  Bernard's last day was New Years day, and the  shelter was closed.  He wasn't going to be adopted.

  Bernard is a beautiful flashy fawn boy, only 2 years old.  Bernard was found in the Bakersfield area as a stray, with mange (demodex, not contagious) and an abscess on his check. His paws are raw,red, bleeding and swollen.  Now he  has also has kennel cough.  Despite the pain and discomfort Bernie is in, he is  an absolute sweetheart.  His little stub wagged like mad when he met us and  volunteers at the kennel.  He is grateful to be alive and to be getting some  attention.  Bernard was dealt a really bad set of cards.  His previous owners didn't care about him enough to take him to the vet (mange does not appear overnight and is easily treatable).  Then they just dumped him somewhere, to  live of the land, to get hit by a car, or to be attacked by coyotes. We have to make it right for Bernard.  He, and no other dog, deserves this.  He will be taken to the vet on Monday for full exam and treatment. 

Sachi needs donations to help with the medical costs of Bernard.  We are estimating around $500 for cost of treatment. Please donate toward Bernard  by PayPal or check, noting that it should go towards Bernard. We would also like to have a foster home for this poor boy.  He needs a lot of TLC.
