7/20/18 2:10 pm UPDATE: Thank you to all who have donated to Riot’s care. I’m relieved to report that another member of our ‘Village’ has agreed to take on future medical bills for Riot which may require days of hospitalization. Unfortunately, our organization was just not capable of that kind of potential commitment. But, rest assured, that all of the dollars donated for her care will be used for what has thus far been incurred. I have been assured that everything is being done to help Riot get through this horrendous virus. -diana
7/20/18 – Continue Prayers for Riot. Just spoke with the doctor and Riot’s condition is not promising. Her diarrhea is worse and the doctors expect her to need hospitalization for days. We will continue to be in close touch with the hospital. To be very honest, I don’t know what to do because as a non-profit with limited funds, I have to consider the many other animals who continue to need our help. Although very difficult to accept, you can understand why municipal shelters like Detroit Animal Control and others have to make that very difficult decision to euthanize a parvo positive puppy. I will keep everyone updated. ~ diana7/21/18 – Riot Update: She is holding her own and fighting hard. The good news is that her temperature is holding and her white blood cell count, although dangerously low, has held the same over 24 hours. Over the first couple days, it was dropping steadily. Please continue your prayers and positive energy for this baby. She is getting the best care possible. ~ diana
