We have two medical emergencies happening.

First, we took in a pregnant Bichon from a shelter in Chicago this past week.


3 year old Elise is having babies. She is having trouble. Help is needed. See below.

I just got this voice mail from the vet at Naperville Animal Hospital.

"Hi Robin this is Dr. Sterner calling from Naperville. Elise has had one
puppy this morning however it is a little bit big for her size and she
had difficulty passing it. So it is unfortunately not alive. I did get
off the phone with Sara, kinda talked it over with her I wanna discuss with you about potentially doing a C-section in case the rest of the puppies are bigger she has any further difficulty. Thanks."


I gave authorization and we need funds to pay for it.

UPDATE that came right before sending this newsletter. From Sara Pace in a text.

<"Okay so Dr. Sterner said looks like one more and it's big, they are going to have to C-section her to get the last one out. They will also spay her while she is under.

The last baby black and big came out with heart beat but not wanting to breath.

Fwd: Dr Tom now trying to save baby>

They can't even tell me what he estimate is going to be with this being an emergency.>

Then on top of that we took in an owner surrender in Michigan that has some of the most severe allergies the dermatologist has ever seem.

This is from Jane Cameron, "Janie's" Foster Mom.

"<"Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 23:32:08 -0400
Subject: Janie
From: JANEWAY59@aol.com

Janie has lived in a cone for two years. She came to us with food, skin and allergy issues since she was 3 ( she's 7). She bites her skin, rips her hair out and chews like mad until she bleeds. She scratched her lips with her back leg and squeals in pain and bleeds. I have never seen anything like it!">
So we sent her to a dermatologist as an emergency yesterday and he wanted to do the allergy testing right then.


7 year old Janie has some of the worst allergies her dermatologist has ever seen. We had to spend $1567.18 on her yesterday as an emergency. HELP. It's a Holiday weekend.

This is her bill and we need help to pay it! This dog was suffering!

Our Team Leaders to Michigan are Jeanette and Denis Ouillette.

Denis went to the appointment to support Jane, our Foster Mom.

This is what Denis said about the appointment.

<Subject: Re: Jamie Allergy skin patch results Sept 2 2015 - Sep 2, 2015
Date: 9/3/2015 10:17:18 A.M. Central Daylight Time
From: denjenspr@gmail.com

After the patch test he told us the speed and size of some of the reactions were among of the most severe he had ever seen. (The photo was taken some time after the test and steroid shot so the reactions had already receded significantly)

Regards
Denis>

Help is needed now.

I don't know if anyone is home. I know it's Labor Day Weekend.

Help is needed.

All My Love, Robin

>When these folks applied to adopt, and we asked how their Bichon was killed by a car, this was their response. We hear this on an average of once a week.

(These are NOT Bichons adopted from Small Paws.)

PLEASE don't take a chance with the life of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to people who allow their dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small Paws Rescue

We had him for the last five years, He is very obedient normally when we say "stay" he will stop wherever he is, so some times we are used to play with him in the yard for he loves to run around the yard in circles, during that time we did not put him on the leash, this particular day he was not on leash and did not yield to the command when he saw some dog across the road. It took off so suddenly the on coming driver did not have time to stop the car. That is how it happened.>


Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
