Lab Rescue NSW/ACT

yes looked for worms under microscope No sign of any. No sign of any infection found during Autopsy. The autopsy report cause unknown. I asked if we did ultra sounds on the 3 remaining pups would we be able to see if the lining was thin in them also according to the vet NO maybe at 6 months. so still no closer to a reason for our rescue pups being dead. The 3 reamining pups are healthy and happy (but then so were the 2 girls that died) thanks for all you ideas.

the mother was in very bad health when she arrived and the same day she gave birth was at the vet for a major uterine infection and went onto antibiotics for 2 weeks to fight it she was one sick girl but the pups still did well and gained weight meet and past all milestones. We are on town water her not tank. We know it wasn't an infection as temp was normal. so the mother was wormed with Sentinal (while preg) she did have worms (on vet advise was also wormed with drontal all wormer) and had antibiotics within the pups first week of life. I'm still not convinced it was fadding puppy.

The tissue walls were like tissue paper but she took samples to send off and do testing on yes.

wormed at 2 weeks this was the second worming and it was troy puppy wormer. But when the Autopsy was done NO worms and nothing in the Poo either I was looking (gross as that is)

I know in rescue we see everything, I have raised many litters of pups but NEVER until 2 days ago had a pup who looked healthy was drinking and playing just die. 29th wormed the pups it was the 4 week dose. they went off and were playing they then went over to pups mum and had a feed 2 of the 5 feel asleep attached to mum nothing new, then one got up after a drink took 2 steps and laid down like it was going to sleep it had the hicups it died not 2 minutes after laying down gave a shutter and was dead. NO infection poo normal, the vet put it down to anaphalatic reation to the worm syrup. O.k I was upset but we moved on all the other pups were fine. 30th had a vet appointment to get the remaining 4 checked over and confirm all was well, about an hour before the appointment I noticed another little girl get the hicups and start panting I check if I could bring them over now. couldn't they had an emergancy so took them to another vet and she said they this pup wasn't going to make it but they would try, She didn't they first said the pup had a worm burden (no worms found at Autopsy) the temp was normal NO infection. Her inside lining was very thin on her stomach and other organs, lots of blood inside. So my next question was did it suffer a truma like the mum squashed it or bit it (I was grasping at straws the mum in question is a very gentle girl.) the vet said no sign of any truma. Is puting it down as unknown. she then turned around and siad there is a chance you may still loose the other 3 if they make it to 12 weeks they should be fine. I'm looking for answers ideas In my head I know I did everything right but (it is really hard to understand a 4 week old healthy pups or 2 in this case dying for no reason). I read up on fading puppy my 2 were above normal weights for the age and breed. The mother came in with 3 pups already we originally thought they were 3 months old only to find out they were 6 months and mum was preg. This litter of pups could be to the mothers father or brother the people that owner her in Gundigia need to be found and shot our vet confirmed if the pups hadn't gotten out when they did they would have been dead in less than a few days. The pound called us the minute they arrived and we collected that day. Has anyone else had this happen and did they discover why?

We do take crosses when we have room and we have advertised both on our f/b page I spoke to Ashliegh this morning and it looks like one of the families we sent to look at the lab x adopted one. Great news. The little gold one I will keep refering people looking for x to the pound but at the moment with all the pups we have in care 15 in total we don't have any more room for another lab x. Currently working to move some Labs to new forever homes so we have room for school holidays we got 15 surrenders in 13 days last holidays. I hate school holidays so much.

great to know! They were really helpfull on the phone. The lab were were helping we sent one of our approved homes to have a look they fell in love and adopted him from the pound. :)

Out of 10 who applied they have taken 3 so far Approved rescue organisations Alaskan Malamute Rehoming Aid Inc Labrador Rescue Inc Dog Rescue Newcastle

She applied not for a specific dog so she didn't originally know about bubbles as he wasn't advertised yet he was finishing his quarintine and having vet work done. she just specified an age. up to 2 years

One of our went to them a few weeks ago Mishca they asked for 24 just like her. Scout the Lab x is coming to us next week we will check her out and see if she is suitable for them. Thanks

We got an apllication to adopt from this lady Kylie from Macarthur (happy to provide full name on request) She has a current 9 month old GSD and is looking for another dog at least on paper that is how it appears. I have included parts of an email trail regarding one of our pups named Bubbles. This email trail occured after a meet and greet. hi Kylie, Your application mentioned a 9 month old GSD did you want to bring her on suday to make sure they get on o.k. Reply from Kylie she is actually going to my parents on Saturday! She was too aggressive around my young daughter(childs name removed) and trying to bite Cheers kylie Lab rescues reply Hi Kylie, Unfortunately due to your change in circumstance with your other dog not being around to keep bubble company while you work. I am unable to rehome bubbles to you. It is Labradore Rescues policy to only rehome pups and dogs under the age of one, with people who have another dog for company during the day. If you have deposited any money into the Lab rescue accounts we will refund it. Kylie reply Oh bugger, so if I keep my other dog I can have bubbles? I just ha to tell my parents that I'll be keeping Ruby Will that cause any issues? My parents are in Melbourne and nothing was set in stone about bringing ruby to them. I was really set on bubbles as Ruby is an outside dog she refuses to come in the hose. Lab rescues reply Hi Kylie Being so young Bubble is likely to follow and learn from Ruby the resident dog. If you are uncomfortable with Ruby’s behaviour you may like to look into having a behaviourist help you with the way forward, whether that is changing your management and training of her or rehoming her elsewhere. Only a professional can provide this advice especially where there is a young child in the family, their safety of course is paramount. Buying a second dog to solve an existing problem often makes it worse. I’m sorry to disappoint you but we won’t be rehoming Bubble with you. Many thanks Last reply from Kylie Ok Please remove my details ill look else where Sorry for the drawn out detail of this message but we at Lab rescue would hate for a young dog or any dog to end up with this person only to be dumped or moved on if it got to hard. Happy to provide more information if you think this person has applied to adopt from your rescue group.
