Suki

Suki died in the early hours of 28 January 2021.
Since her rescue in 2019, she seemed to be bullet-proof, surviving Parvovirus and Distemper.  In January she began to show signs of listlessness and distress, and we ran some tests, coming up with a double-diagnosis of two very debilitating diseases Erlichiosis and Anaplasmosis.

We had given her every possible medication but she just couldn't overcome it.
Adrian was doing night shift at the Sanctuary and when Suki's breathing became laboured he called Rina and Rachelle who came back to the Sanctuary immediately. They also had Doc Desiree instructing them what to do, but Suki's platelets were non-existent and she hemorrhaged.

We all loved Suki so much. We had her from a tiny puppy when we rescued her with her mum Fury two-and-a-half years ago.  Read more about Suki's life before and after rescue on her Profile Page.

Suki Update March 2021

Suki has been healthy this month but she did get a strange wound - quite deep in her leg, that looked like she had been fighting. It was strange because she NEVER fights. She is the sweetest, most gentle girl and never picks on other dogs or gets picked on or bullied so we are really not sure where it came from.

She is still hanging out with her mother and buddies in the 'unsociables' kennel.  There are distinct packs at the Sanctuary, with only a few dominant dogs like Delfin and TinTin allowed to move anywhere they like.  The gang Suki is in never comes across to the other side of the Sanctuary.


We bathed her today - here's a short clip.
