8/18/22 – Today is our 12th Anniversary and Muffins’ continuing journey is just one of thousands of challenges we have faced over the past 12 years. Only with your donations can we give these orphans a second chance. – diana. P.O. Box 84 St Clair Shores, MI 48080
Happy 12 th anniversary to an organization I’m blessed to call home. 4 paws 1 heart brings balance to my life in such a rewarding way. We are able to give so many animals a 2nd chance at a wonderful happy loving life. The updates and the difference we have made makes my heart full. I’m grateful for all of the doctors, staff, supporters, family, friends, and board members for everything you do to complete us. It takes a village. There are challenging cases all the time and Diana works endlessly on 4 paws 1 heart. Thank you Diana for all you do every single day.. Have a wonderful day everyone
Update: 8/17/22 Six weeks of medication every single day, nebulizing with saline in a chamber 1 to 3 times a day, 3 different oral liquid antibiotics, wiping her nose every hour all day every day, 3 different kinds of eye medication, several trials of food until finding the perfect one for a kitten who couldn’t smell, a horrible ear infection treated with a topical, and FINALLY an answer to how to cure this. Muffins tested positive for Mycoplasma on pcr 4 weeks ago but despite treatment her nasal discharge wasn’t any better. Last Friday I sedated her to culture her nasal discharge again, flush her snot, run bloodwork, x rays of her sinuses and chest, fungal culture and yesterday part of her test came in. She has a bacteria called “Proteus Mirabilis” in her nose and it is treated with an antibiotic called Zeniquin. It runs $120 for a script. It was ordered today and she will hopefully be better after the treatment. This has been extremely stressful to not have answers and watch her struggle to breath. I’m very relieved at this point and I’m praying for this to go away. Thank you to everyone involved and especially 4 paws 1 heart for paying for her care Bambi Pesti Hartter and her friend for donating toys, food, and supplies. Lindsey Bate for meeting wth me today and donating a few pills to get her started right away, and we still have a long way to go with basic veterinary care, vaccines, spaying, etc. But for now if she can recover from this I’d be ecstatic! -Gina
