Kiara
Baby update for all the Kiara stans out there.
We had our first vet visit post ER break out and while everyone was excited to see her, Kiara’s bloodwork was not quite what we were hoping to see. She is no longer considered contagious (hence Momma Mable in the background who is so happy to be offering her healing services), but is very clearly still fighting a nasty infection because her white blood cell count is still really high. She is also still anemic, super dehydrated, and wildly underweight. At her first vet visit before all this started, she was 12 pounds and now she’s a measly 8.6 pounds Despite being absolutely ravenous for food, her little body is struggling to keep her food down and absorb nutrients. If she wasn’t throwing it up, she’s been battling some of the worst diarrhea we’ve ever seen, and we’ve seen a lot So we left the vet with 5 different medications and subcutaneous fluids to do at home until her next bloodwork recheck later this week!
All this being said, it’s quite obvious that this little girl is starting to feel better despite what her bloodwork says because her little (big) personality is starting to come out! We are limiting time out and about with her foster siblings because the more she sees them, the more she wants to play and she really can’t afford to lose the calories. But we’ve discovered that she’s big on the cuddles, loves a good bone (the bigger the better), and has even begun to find her little houndy voice!
The past two days have been Kiara’s most lively by far, she’s kept all of her many tiny meals down, and has been so brave while getting her fluids! We think she’s going to show that bloodwork who’s boss next week.
Check out our social media to find learn more about Kiara’s journey! She is finally feeling much better and will be up for adoption in no time!
