Beltania and Adorable sitting in a tree...

K-i-s-s-i-n-g
     First comes Love...

They love each other, they know they do they are just playing sly. Grooming each other has been witnessed, Adorable will follow Belle all over the room and property, he will also run off any other suitors. Yes he is neutered - it goes beyond a sexual drive, it is a love bond.

Both of them are in pain right now. Beltania suffers from flea bite dermatitis in a horrible way and Adorable has something very wrong with his ears that can't be healed w/out medical attention.

Beltania takes medicine that gives her some relief but if you could feel her skin and all the scabs from her constantly scratching are horrible. She has a look of misery in her eyes.

      Her meds are getting very low, she does have 2 refills left - just need to acquire the funds to do so with.

The extent of damage in his ears warranted the dog formula Pyrethrin medicine. The cat formula was 0.05 mg of drug vs this dog formula 0.06 mg Pyrethrin. The cat formula gave direction at 5 drops per ear for a couple of days and then repeat if not cleared. The dog formula calls for 5 drops as well, Adorable is getting 2 drops twice a day for 3 days then a rest only applying mineral oil in an attempted to suffocate mites and soothe irritation. It doesn't help matters that he will dust himself outside very well and his ears are black inside upon checking them. Some of what is seen on the Q-tip is dirt (or rather mud sludge), but the red tint there - that is from the mites biting the insides of his ears plus him digging at them.

((In the good news department; a lawyer has been hired for final appeal on disability, according to the lawyer, we have an excellent case) ((big smile))

Please, if you can afford a dollar or two we would greatly appreciate it and ask that you share our plight with your friends and associates. Gargoyles Animal Rescue and Dragon Sanctuary is a godsend for the animals, and will be a force to be reckoned with in the very near future!

Beltania needs a shot, she received one earlier this year - it lasted two months and cost like $12.00, she needs that - which entails an office visit for the Rx shot, good food, and a refill of her Buspirone. Flea preventative is a must for her.

Adorable needs medical attention, he needs a vet to diagnose his ears and prescribe some medicine that will aid in destroying what ever is attacking his poor ears. He is already sounding like he is deaf, you know how that sounds - like someone who can't hear their own voice. 

Traveling With Pets In America (or anywhere else)

Gargoyles Animal Rescue travels with pets all of the time. One of our kitties is an Emotional Support Animal trained to travel everywhere with her person. We also have a Service Dog in Training and she goes everywhere with her trainer. The other animals in our rescue have mixed emotions about traveling, the older cats want to stay put. The younger cats love the adventure, its that whole curiosity thing with them. All of the dogs love to go 'bye-bye', and readily jump into any vehicle offered.

Would like to give a few tips we have learned over the years on traveling with pets, these are things that work for us and the animals in our charge. Not all animals are going to react the same. Be patient and never raise your voice or hand to them - you are here to protect them - do your job well.

• When traveling by vehicle it is best to carry you some extra clothes (jacket, sweater, etc.), and crank up that a/c (protect any cold-prone animals with a place to hide or sweaters for them). It has been our experience that the cats aren't as vocal and most everyone just sleeps when it is cold - they hibernate so to say. That makes for easy driving conditions inside the vehicle.

• Do not feed or water for at least 12 hours before departure and make sure everyone has had a chance to empty their bowels and bladder before you load up. What this does is 1. keeps anything from being vomited and 2. cuts down on bathroom breaks for the animals or hurt their kidneys to hold their full bladder for extended amount of times.

• If canines are what you are traveling with, keep their collars on at all times (hopefully with i.d. tags or micro chipped). Do stop often to allow them to exercise and mark territory (if you withheld water they shouldn't need to urinate - but they will mark territory with a dribble here and there).

As summertime approaches and the temps rise, please remember that whatever the outside temp the inside of your vehicle will be at least 10 degrees hotter. 

In the above pictures the canines were traveling on FAT TUESDAY, they dressed for the occasion.

Beltania's Vet Visit

 April 2, 2015 2:00 p.m. Richmond Hill Animal Hospital  Richmond Hill, GA

Beltania met the staff at Richmond Hill Animal Hospital, some were honored, some were terrified.

We are thankful that Beltania has been witnessed by a licensed medical doctor and treated thru and under his expert wisdom. We are eternally grateful to those who help us in the financial department, without you none of this would of been possible - thank you very much!

Kind and compassionate

Doc and Beltania did not hit it off well.

Doc was a bit hesitant on handling Beltania

I informed that her bark was way worse than her bite.

He said "he'd rather not find out".

The last one was a doozie!

We arrived home to goodies waiting on the porch.

So thankful, so very thankful!

We do have a foundation fund with the remainder of Beltania's 'Go Fund Me' account and are applying that to the Oliver's goal. Going to get each animal squared away - by gosh - one animal at a time.
