another beagle saved!

I'm very pleased to introduce you to a VERY pretty beagle girl. Her name is Vada and, thanks to Big on Beagles, Marna was able to save her life.

Vada had some health problems that didn't add up. At first they thought she might be pregnant, given the expanding size of her belly. When that turned out to be negative, BOB took her in to the fantastic vets at the Beaches Animal Hospital where she had an 8 hour test to see if the problem might be Cushings Disease.

Unfortunately the test came back positive. But Cushings is a manageable illness with the proper treatment and medicine. The good news is that Vada is safe and sound in her new rescue home getting herself settled and ready to feel better!

Just another little reminder that the money raised for Big on Beagles goes directly to saving the lives of little cuties like Vada!

UPDATE:

I've just heard word that Vada is doing very well in her new foster home and that she has made friends with 2 doggie friends name Violet and Sophie. She'll begin her Cushings medication very soon as well and should feel better quite quickly. Her medication isn't cheap - approximately $100/month! Soooo...if anyone feels like sponsoring Vada while she is in foster care, email the rescue at bigonbeagles@primus.ca!
