Hello all

My previous update I now see didn't upload.

Memphis is sadly declining. Every day now is a blessing.

Sadly I have decided not to fall back on reviving him on iv, meds etc. with no plan B. It is physically, emotionally too hard for me😥

Whatever I can enjoy with him I will cherish. He managed a little swim to my surprise. I wish I could have better news🙏

    I'm so sorry Sarah, It breaks my heart that he keeps slipping back. I hope Memphis pulls through. I know you're keeping him comfortable and giving him tons of love. Prayering for Memphis

    That pour guy. I feel so bad for him as well as you for trying so hard to heal him and improve his health. I honestly think his immune system is so weak that it simply can't function strong enough to sustain him from having serious skin issues and allergies.

    Hi, I was looking at Memphis sores that he has. My EBT Buster had sores like that but not nearly so severe. After trying many things we found out that beef pork or any type of raw hide chews caused it. It took about a month for them to start disappearing. Later we tried giving him rawhide again they came back again. We haven't given him any more since. I know they sometimes spray farm animals with insecticides to keep the flys off of them that maybe the cause. Hope Memphis heals up soon.

    Oh guys what a time!

    Thankyou firstly.

    Now I'll try not to miss anything.

    Since last time. I decided to just let him have his last happy days med free. I gave up on pumping him with everything. I went to my vet to just get natural pain relief. Then she poured out her soul to help him one more time. To hospitalize him, iv saline, baths and new diet all for free! I was compelled to hand him over to her. I was not to visit to cause undue stress.

    After the first week I was allowed to visit. This was two days prior to Xmas. I got to walk him and cuddle. My daughter saw him the next day very happy boy. Then came our nightmare!

    My vet on Xmas day fed him in the front yard, went to take a photo for me and he took the opportunity and jumped the fence🤯 They are on a busy main 6 lane road. He was gone. I got there 8pm along with my daughter. We searched till 3am and nothing. He was sighted in a car accident and near factory's in another suburb. Omg it was so hard, searching, calling and all the worry racing in our heads. Came back 5.30am and searched frantically. It was a 40° boxing day here.. There was a large FB following and volunteers looking. Searched bushland but you cannot know where or if he was alive. Nothing the whole day, night.

    I slept in the next morning and as I hot there my daughter received the msg they got him! My vet intersected with him and another man helped to catch him...oh what a relief🙏

    We fed him, xrayed him, blood work etc. Stayed the whole day and bathed him. He had severe limp, no breaks, bad cuts, pads damaged and bad staph infection resurfaced.

    I brought him home and I am doing iv four hourly twice per week at the vet. He isnt stressed and I do the baths.


    He had his second beach walk as his limp has gone but his skin is day by day. He eats better on turkey and only has natural supps. Still trying to keep medication away if we are to have any chance of improving his immunity.

    There is no stress upon walking with traffic etc. I can still leave him off leash and he is stick happy.

    Sorry I haven't been on but I understand everyone has challenging times.

    I hope to have good news as the days go on🙏💙

    The pic of him dirty is when we first found him

    Geez, you're having to go through so much with him. He's a tough case to handle between his medical issues and having him escape only adds to all the stress for both him and you.

    Oh yes Steve but we're hanging on day by day. My next biggie is moving to land in the not so distant future.

    I believe he will thrive🙏 he was born on land. Snake's will be the concern but I will arm myself with knowledge and of course enclosure for not escaping or mischievous bully excitement😉

    First I have to get this infection under control. Still no medication so it may take longer but I'm prepared to keep going🥰
