I am happy to report that the neighbors dog (Patches) is doing just fine. She is eating up a storm and drinking plenty of water. She is my daily visitor once again. She comes and visits me and my Bunch of babies (8 dogs total). She also likes to spend the night. Lol
Thanks for the replies
Sounds good, keep up the good work and let "us" know more good news when you get it.
I'm sorry, I thought I mentioned her age. I think she is about 2 years old. I'm happy to report that I was able to lower her fever and she iis starting to eat and drink water. She is thin, but I bought her some dog food with jhigh protein so she can gain some weight.
Bless you, a true friend of animals.
You didn't say (or I can't read) how old the dog is. As she had pups she must not be real old - assume dogs lose that ability somewhere in the middle age range...really don't know.
You are in TX, which is hotter even than NJ I assume. Here during the hot weather all dogs I associate with just want to sleep inside with the air conditioning.. happily we do have that. In the absence of cooling the compress you mention may be the best answer, that and stay out of the sun.
Best wishes.
