The disappearing ears trick!

Beautiful dogs!

Thank you, my friend. I can barely handle both of my babies feeling unwell, and being so wiped out on funds from one that I can't afford to treat the other is breaking my heart. ❤️‍🩹

The first dose of Trazodone worked wonders, but every subsequent dose only seemed to make Maple more and more wired. Not good.

We called the vet back on Monday to ask about alternatives, and he prescribed us Gabapentin, which Maple has reacted much more favorably to!

I think the Trazodone is working.

Me too, it's really hard to see her uncomfortable and frustrated.

Unfortunately, Maple hasn't been coping with the anaesthesia or adjusting to crate rest as well as we had hoped.

She's been experiencing quite a bit of distress and restlessness, so her surgeon faxed us out a prescription for Trazodone today to help her settle during initial healing.

I have been reunited with my four-legged lampshade! Don’t mind her face, she’s uh… on the good stuff.

We love you, friend!! 🥺🥺

Maple has been dropped off at the vets, everyone cross their fingers and toes that she’s a good girl and things go smoothly.

Massive thank you to everyone who helped us thus far, we are at 1/3 of the surgery funds. Maple loves you. 💖

I hate asking for help, but even with pet insurance, $1500.00 is a massive vet bill to pay up-front. If anyone feels so inclined to lend us a hand…

These are the growths slated for removal. The veterinarian believes at least one of them is infected, which puts us on a bit of a time crunch.

Unfortunately, Maple had an incident last night in which she chewed off her largest papilloma, leaving a large, raw open wound in a sensitive area.

Today’s vet appointment only totalled $110.00 for the examination fee, but they want to see her again tomorrow for surgical removal.

Maple and several of her siblings all developed similar symptoms, which suggests they most likely contracted this condition from their dam.

The good news is, most of the puppies are well and truly on the mend, with their growths clearing up and falling off without any medical intervention.

When we went to the vet two weeks ago, Maple was diagnosed with CPV, otherwise known as Canine Papillomavirus.

Papillomas are generally benign growths that are most common in puppies and dogs with immature or suppressed immune systems, and in time, they usually resolve on their own.

She's such a good girl, even at the vet. Couldn't ask for more. 🥰

She's 6.5 months old now, Espy!! I can barely believe it, myself.

Maple went to the vet for a check-up yesterday, and she weighed in at 54lbs!

Mondays suck.

Here's Maple in a hoodie to make it better.

Would that I could! Unfortunately, my bank balance is about... $35.00... a far cry from $55k. 😂😅

Ah, yes! This is about 3 hours away from me!

A pair of beautiful matching portraits of my girls. 🥰

Every day we tell her "you're so BIG!!!!" 😂

She's 45 pounds and her growth hasn't really slowed down considerably yet... 😅
