KASHI

(Shelter Photo of Kashi)

( Jack Russel Terrier and Chihuhua mix female)

Kashi was rescued from Scioto Dog Pound in Portsmouth Ohio

The dog pound contacted us because the rescue that had a hold on Kashi

never showed up to save her from euthanization and the shelter told us that
Kashi

was exhibiting signs of illness and was not eating or drinking and was very
lethargic

with an upper respitory infection.

This shelter has no funding available to provide veterinary care for dogs
at the shelter

We agreed to rescue Kashi.

The wonderful staff at Scioto Dog Pound drove Kashi to a nearby vet after
CODA made arrangements

to pay for Kashi's vet exam but neither of the 2 vet clinics in the area had
room available to medically

board Kashi until we could arrange to have her transported safely to Cleveland
Ohio.

So Kashi had to return to the shelter after her vet exam but the shelter did
quarantine her away from the general population for us



Kashi was diagnosed with a terrible case of hookworms and an upper respitory
infection

She was also deyhrated and received sub q fluids at the vet visit

Kashi was started on antibiotics and panacur for the hookworms



A wonderful shelter volunteer came to the shelter the next morning ( saturday)
and picked Kashi up and took her to her house

in order to get her out of the shelter. CODA arranged to have Kashi picked
up the next day ( sunday) from the volunteers house

Kashi would like to thank Eric and Sandy ( CODA Great Dane Parents of Claire
Dane) for driving an 8 hour round trip drive

so that Kashi could quickly and safely arrive at CODA's main foster facility
on Sunday 8/26/07



Kashi was shaking her head a lot and was immediately treated with ear medication.

Kashi was given her medication from the vet upon arrival and given food and
water

She ate one bite of food but did drink a good amount of water for us

We washed her face and brushed her very well and gave her a lot of love and
petting upon arrival

Kashi has a condition called ' cherry eye' in both of her eyes.
The cherry eye in her left eye is much more advanced

than her right eye and has some bleeding in the eye

Kashi has a pretty severe upper respitory infection and nasal and eye discharge

Kashi is a sweet girl who was wagging her tail even as horrible as she's
feeling right now

Kashi was put into medical quarantine for the night and will be seeing our
Vet Dr. Brian first thing in the morning

We'll have updated photo's of Kashi and further information soon.

UPDATE 8/27/07

Kashi was examined by Dr. Brian first thing this morning as we were very concerned
about the bleeding in her eyes

Upon examining Kashi Dr. Brian stated that she had been severely beaten in
her head and that the extensive

head trauma has caused swelling to her eyes and the bleeding in her eyes

Dr. Brian also discovered that Kashi has a very bad hernia that will need
immediately surgical intervention

Dr. Brian estimated Kashi to be around 7-9 months of age and thought she had
either just had her first heat cycle

or was about to have her first heat cycle .

We will know the results of Kashi's heartworm testing tomorrow and are praying
she's negative for heartworms

Dr. Brian started Kashi on some medication for her eyes and her hernia in
addition to instructing us to continue with the antibiotics

that the Vet Clinic in Portsmouth Oh started her on

Kashi finished her last panacur treatment for her hookworms yesterday evening



Upon arrival back at CODA today, Kashi received a very thorough de-flea bath
and nail trim along with being brushed and pampered a bit

Kashi was a total angel for the bath and nail trim

Kashi is eating very well for us and drinking a lot of water also

Kashi LOVES the new Homestyle Selects
Fresh Refrigerated food we are currently feeding our rescue dogs after
all the dog food tainting cases

Kashi gobbled down her bowl of food at each of her 3 feedings today

Kashi weighed in at 12 lbs at her vet visit and you can see very rib on her,
she is very thin and undernourished

We expect Kashi's multiple surgeries on her eyes and the hernia to be quite
costly

So any and all financial help for Kashi is greatly appreciated
UPDATE

Kashi has completed her surgeries and is doing wonderful
Kashi is now nice and chubby and far from skinny
Kashi has moved to our most experienced and active foster home in Cleveland Ohio and is living with cats, a five year old child and another female dog and is getting along well with everyone at her foster home

Kashi is perfectly housebroken and crate trained

Kashi is a very loving, affectionate and happy dog who will make some lucky family a wonderful lifelong companion and pet
