So heres how the story begin. Please bear with me about my english grammar! I am just a pet lover, never a degree holder.😅😄😂
Who is Chloe?
When I was working in Small Town Lottery last year, one black stray dog that I just called Blacky gave birth to four puppies near my lottery booth. I was new there and did not know much about the place yet. I found out that Blacky's three grey puppies died one by one and the one with different color was remain alive. Many people there wanted her because of her gorgeous look but I took her knowing that they may not be that responsible handling dogs. Me neither was not sure what kind of life we gonna be. I was stuck with 8 USD daily income that just goes to my apartment and food with my 2 rescued cats and feeding some cats around as long as I could. But whats the difference of not getting her? What if she die like her siblings. They were born with the cold floor and dirty sorroundings.
I named her Chloe because she was fatty fluffy gorgeous puppy. I used to bring her with me at my work because no one would take care of her in my apartment, unlike my cats who are independent as long as there is water, food and litterbox. It was like I had a baby because my bag are loaded with milk, feeding bottle, wipes and wet food. I also started to deworm her and surf the web about puppies vaccines etc. After that deworming you're not gonna believe what came out of her. See photos
On the third day of Chloe with me, she started to show symptoms of distemper. Although the thick pads of her feet was noticeable since at the very first day. And the most severe symptoms that she have up to now is the tremor. I already know Rose during that time, so she helped me deal with it. Rose used to get Chloe from my booth every morning to do subcutaneous dextrose infusion to avoid dehydration. Chloe could not withstand the heat on my booth so she returned her on the afternoon.
I never thought I would face myself to camera holding my Identification Card for a Tala loan app to sustain her medication. Up to now I am not out of it because I pay I renewed. And I really dont know how to get out of it now due to pandemic.
Chloe's tremor is lifetime they said. Her tounge is out even when awake or asleep. Now Chloe is big. Your heart will melt seeing her tremor like a ride-on horse with a tounge that is always out.
Her recent photo showed she is thin because she got sick during lockdown. Right before lockdown I took another loan for me to moved to Rose apartment. There were fleas and ticks to my previous apartment and their target was Chloe. Chloe is more prone to fleas and ticks because they can easily hatch on her warm fluffy coat. Unlike my other dog Brownie who has a short coat, she can get rid of them by scratching especially the bigger one.
After we moved to Rose apartment in just several days Chloe's nose bleed so badly. Of course she probably had Ehrlichiosis from the tick bites. Its good we are already near to Rose who assessed her symptoms and since Hopper got Ehrlichiosis before we just followed some of her medication for Chloe except the one that needs prescriptions. I would say its good that I am home due to lockdown because what if I am at work and Chloe bleed to death. I already got another job to BPO in Manila. Its a no work no pay. I am still a newbie that's why I am excluded to work from home program.
I never brought Chloe to any Vet Clinic eversince. She is not yet diagnosed by Doctor regarding her distemper and now with Ehrlichiosis. I made this fundraising blogsite for me to bring her to a Vet. I couldnt even send her to a nearby Vet Clinic to check her CBC. I wanna know the status of her platelets as well as her distemper and the tremor if there something we can do about it. I am a hands-on person, I know that only furparents who may understand this, but taking care of 7 cats and 2 dogs are really time consuming work.
I cant even afford to buy a portable aircon for the house. The summer weather in Philippines is too hot for a fluffy dog. Thanks to Madame Fina, a British Facebook new friend who suggested to put some blanket in fridge and put it to her. It is amazingly worked! She slept good with that cold blanket during afternoon. Experienced Furparents are really helpful. I also wanna thank Madame Mia, an American new Facebook friend who suggested a fundraising sites although some of them did not work, but here I come making this nonprofit fundraising blogsite for my furbabies.
To be honest, to rehome all of them had came to my mind many times. Because I am having a hard time supporting them especially Chloe. I cant even buy new underwear eversince I rescued them. They also suffer because of me😥. I am sad because I cant even buy a ball for Chloe and Brownie. What I can only give them to play are empty water bottles that is very noisy when bitten but somehow makes them happy. I never bought dog shampoo. I only share my shampoo to them, its better than buying dog shampoo and let them shared with me😂. The least I can give is food. No more hunger once I picked them up from the street as I promised. I also buy them vitamins and medications somehow. Some of my rescued cats were rehomed last year. Kindly browse pet adoption corner on the left side. But then these cats of mine now are new rescued. Brownie is supposed to be in adoption too but no adopter likes her maybe because shes is not that looking good so I just keep her with me. Poor Brownie...I am afraid to post Chloe for adoption. Maybe her adopter wont have much time to take care of her as the way I do.
