TRAPRS - Trapping, Rescue, and Pet Recovery Service

🥹 A collective sigh of relief as we can finally say Chloe is in the clear.
Everything happened so fast and we wish we had a solid answer of why it happened & be able to tell you ways to prevent it from happening to you and your pups, but sadly we don’t.
Last week Chloe went outside for 5 minutes to potty, she came inside & her foster mom was gone for not even two hours after.
When she left everything was normal, Chloe had normal energy, no symptoms or side effects of anything.
But when she returned, she found Chloe collapsed on the floor and trails of stool and urine around her as if she’d lost control of her bowels. While she looked up when her name was called, she could barely stand & her eyes were glossed over and gums pale.
By the time she arrived at the hospital, blood was pouring out of her rear and continued for the next 24 hours.
Her heart rate was over 230 bpm & they immediately administered epinephrine after an ultrasound showing haloing around the gallbladder which is conducive with an anaphylactic reaction.
Her bloodwork showed that her clotting times were off and she needed an emergency plasma transfusion & hospitalization.
To this day we were unable to find a bite on her body, there is no foreign object or substance found in the house, Chloe does not get into the trash, and there is nothing visible in the yard.
While it was most likely a bug bite of some kind, not even the doctors can tell us. Could it have been a runoff from a pesticide? Could it have been a devil’s cap mushroom? A spider?
Again, we wish we knew. We wish we could warn you. It was touching go for a bit and Chloe fought hard. 😭
She stayed for two days & was finally released after she showed that she could eat and drink again. She had some lethargy & incontinence for the first couple of days but is now slowly back to her normal energy levels.
This unplanned emergency cost $5,700. We raised approx $1650 of that so far.
We made a separate fundraiser for the remainder of Chloe’s bill if you’d like to support:

Help us give this sweet girl a new life!
Many of all know and love Baloo. (Photo 1)
He was dumped in Westlake, limping and peeing blood.
We all assumed he was hit by a car until we took him to the vet. The best guest was blunt force trauma- most likely someone intentionally kicking him. He fought his wild UTI and kidney infection for weeks and he has recovered beautifully in foster.
But now... in the exact same area, a female dog has appeared who looks to be his sister, she is also limping and terrified. And seeking help. (All other photos are of her)
We need a foster home to say YES so we can get her into our vet quickly.
She's been allowing two residents of a senior living facility to befriend her. But runs from everyone else. They can't foster her, so we need a family who can.
It was about to storm this afternoon, so she’s VERY temporarily staying in their apt but we need a foster home right away.
You know the drill:
✅ medical
✅ supplies
✅ support
All covered by us.
You:
💪Jump in with both feet, keep separate initially from resident pets + kiddos, and in it for the long haul with us.
