Parvo at it’s worst!

 

 Here at AWBAR we have had a rough couple of days. Losing a total of 10 baby raccoons to this deadly disease called Parvovirus. I have stayed up around the clock with only 2 hours of sleep, making sure the raccoons get the care they need. Although Parvo is rarely treatable, I refuse to lose all the hard work I have put into.
 I wanted to say thank you for everyone’s kind words, thoughts, and prayers. We can only take this one day at a time, and will be out of the clear as of July 3rd. It feels such a far way away, im hoping to restore the lives and save as many as I can.

What is Parvo?
Parvovirus is a viral disease of dogs. It affects puppies much more frequently than it affects adult dogs. The virus likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells. The intestinal lining has the biggest concentration of rapidly dividing cells in a puppy’s body. The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression and suppression of white blood cells — which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies it can infect the heart muscle and lead to “sudden” death. This same disease is the same as Raccoon Parvo.

 I will keep everyone updated! With many tears I’ve shed, I can’t bring the ones I lost, however, I will fight to get the ones sick stronger!

Thank you again for all your support and contributions.

100% to AWBAR!

November ends soon. 100% of the sales of these great note cards ends soon too!

During November, the entire $12.95 from the sale of these note cards is going to AWBAR. That even includes my expenses (normally I donate the proceeds). If you’re thinking holidays, at $12.95 they’ll make great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts. Please help!, they’re in my Etsy shop, www.bellisstudios.etsy.com.

P.S.: If you miss getting them in November, don’t worry. They’ll still be available, but just the proceeds will go to AWBAR. I’ll take just enough to cover my expenses and pass the rest along to AWBAR.

My friend Angie sent me this email from her friend who lives in California. Jain sent pictures of this raccoon that comes to her back door every night waiting to be fed.

Jains email said…

When Rocco came over for a little snack tonight, I told him to go wash
his hands in his water bowl before he ate. I’m sure it was a
coincidence, but he immediately went over to his bowl, washed his hands,
and ran back over by us for some grapes.

He stands on his back legs and waves his paw at us like, “come on, throw
the food”.

Just thought I would share! How wonderful!
