Meaty

Despite all efforts surgically to fix Meaty and her leaking bladder it was all for not and her leaking continues. Finding a home for a dog no matter how cute it is that needs a diaper is no simple task. Lots of people think its no big deal, I assure you when it comes to applications submitted for a dog that is incontinent they are basically non existent. Except for this one, Mary facilitated the adoption for Meaty yesterday and this is what she shared with us.

“And off she went without a care in the world. Meaty met her new mom, Susan Speedy, last night and they fell instantly in love with each other. Susan believes Meaty was meant to be hers and this lucky pup will join her family in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She will have a new name of Abby and will have a Frenchie sister named Piper. And diapers? Who cares! was Susan’s attitude. They will be taking a leisurely drive back home and promised to update us on the Happy Tails page.

We are so happy for you little girl and Susan you are a true rescuer of a dog in need.

Happy life everyone

This little girl is an owner surrender, 8 months old and appears to have lots of problems that we need to figure out. She smelled absolutely horrible and when I bathed her, I could feel that her vulva had some big problems and I was right. Her skin is terrible and she looks moth eaten all over. She is supposed to have an issue with her kidney and possibly her ureter. She’s just a baby, she’s happy as a clam and having a great time at the ranch, but we will need to get to the bottom of all of her issues asap.

She came with the name Meaty and that made us chuckle, so the name stays and so does she.

Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue Meaty.

UPDATE 7/8/2020

Preliminary ultrasound does look as though Meaty has an ectopic ureter, we will be sending her to animal imaging for more conclusive testing will be scheduled and surgery will be necessary, the outcome or the success of the surgery cannot be predicted at this point in time.

UPDATE 8/7/2020

So let me catch you up on where we are with Meaty, I last told you that she went into A 7 M with Bree a couple of days ago. They opted to take her in for scoping to take a look and see if her ureter/ureters could be corrected with a laser, if that wasn’t possible they would open her up and see if they could correct surgically. When the did the scope they found that one of her utters was seated correctly and emptying into her bladder the other one was successfully corrected with the laser. We have had two dogs in our rescue Lego and Menudo that we had ectopic ureters to deal with, both of those girls could not be corrected with a laser and instead were surgically corrected. I know that Menudo still leaks urine in her adoptive home but I am not sure about Lego with her family.

UPDATE 8/13/2020

Not much improvement for her even after surgery, we are trying different medications now to help Proin doesn’t seem to be helping. We know that finding a home for Meaty if she remains incontinent will be a challenge but hopefully someone will open their heart to her.
