MOLLY - 13 YEAR OLD FEMALE
STATUS: IN FOSTER CARE.
FOSTER UPDATE - AUGUST 31, 2023
Molly developed pneumonia. Luckily it was caught early. After 2 weeks of antibiotics and recheck x-rays, her lungs are now crystal clear. Her dental was postponed until the end of October as a precaution.
Molly had her consultation at the canine rehabilitation centre and, to no surprise, she is very arthritic. Now that her pneumonia has cleared up she will start gentle exercises. The monthly Librela injection is helping a lot.
Her personality is really coming out. She knows what she wants, but is very polite about it. As all royalty, she even has a dog bed on the deck.
FOSTER UPDATE - AUGUST 12, 2023
Molly continues to settle in very well here at her foster home. She really loves meeting people, especially our grandchildren.
We are not sure about her hearing abilities, but she definitely can smell and is a true kitchen dog. Molly is a quiet pug and doesn't really make sounds but you can tell what she wants from her expressive eyes.
She went to the groomer and loved her “spa” day and continues to be very tolerant of ear cleaning.
On the medical side, Molly had a Librela injection for her osteoarthritis. This really put a pep in her step. She actually runs now when she knows it is her mealtime. It is the cutest thing ever!
Coming up later this month she will have a consultation at a canine rehabilitation centre regarding her age related aches and pains, as well as some ataxia. She is also booked for dental surgery and lump removal at the end of the month.
FOSTER UPDATE - JULY 5, 2023
Molly is doing fantastic! She has charmed the whole family. She absolutely loves the foster grandkids - her tail was going, tons of kisses. Foster mom got her an orthopedic bed for her crate to cushion those old bones. She's eating well. Molly was due to go for her first vet visit this week but at the last minute it had to be postponed by the clinic. On Tuesday she will have a physical exam, a routine fecal test and her blood work done. We expect that dental surgery will follow in the next few weeks. In the meantime, she is adjusting amazingly well and is a real love.
INTRODUCTION - JULY 1, 2023
Meet lovely Molly, a 13 year old spayed female pug, who came into rescue today because her elderly owner has to move and cannot take her. They have been together all her life. She will be going to the vet this week for her checkup. We look forward to getting to know her.
