We are a little late posting but wanted to share another happy story :)). ❤️‍🩹

🐱💜 Meet “Sunrise”.

After giving birth to five kittens, this sweet mama experienced a frightening and life-threatening complication…a uterine prolapse.

She was rushed to the emergency vet, where X-rays revealed another surprise. There was still one more kitten inside!

Sunrise’s mom was not in a financial position to afford the emergency surgery she desperately needed, so she reached out for help.

❤️ The Colby Animal Foundation partnered with The Paws Project to give “Sunrise” and her unborn kitten a fighting chance. An emergency C-section and spay were successfully performed, and the sixth kitten survived!

We are so happy we were able to help Sunrise and her babies!

What’s new today for our foundation? 🐕

We are working on partnering with an animal emergency hospital in West Bradenton. We are excited about the possibility of helping more pets in Manatee county. 🙏

We are also reaching out to corporations to see if we can apply for their 2027 non-profit grants. We don’t know if anything will come of it yet, but we’ll just keep trying! ⭐️

And last….Our foundation is honored to have the opportunity to work with another non-profit in our community that has done so much good for Manatee County Pets. More to come soon! 🥳

Wylder’s breeder reached out to us and threatened legal action against our organization if we did not remove the Tampa Bay news story from our page. We were contacted by Tampa Bay 28 News to talk about our foundation and to discuss parvo and health certificates in general. We only learned of the breeders name after the breeder messaged us.

We don’t have anything against the breeder. Parvo happens in even the best circumstances to the best people doing all they can. However, I was surprised that the breeder wasn’t more concerned with making sure everything was ok with their home and Wylder.

The history we obtained is that Wylder developed severe symptoms of parvo 48 hours after they purchased him and he was very sick - vomiting almost every hour through the night. That’s when we stepped in to help.

🐾 PARVO: What We Know From Science

1. Parvo can be deadly, even with the best veterinary care. Despite aggressive treatment, not every puppy survives.
2. Vaccination saves lives. Properly vaccinated dogs are overwhelmingly protected against parvovirus. This disease is largely preventable.
3. Symptoms don’t appear immediately. The incubation period is typically 3–7 days after exposure but can be as long as 14 days. A puppy can appear perfectly healthy while the virus is incubating.
4. Parvo is highly contagious. Infected dogs can begin shedding the virus before showing symptoms, and the virus can survive in the environment for 1 year or longer.

Happy to see that Wylder has since recovered and is doing well! 💙

A Lakewood Ranch couple says their new puppy became critically ill days after coming home. They later discovered the initial medical records they received belonged to another dog.
