Please welcome Senior Saint Mae to the Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue family. Many thanks to our volunteer Mary who picked up Mae from a local shelter today. Mary says Mae has lost many of her teeth. Her eyes are cloudy and it appears sheās had several litters. She weighs only about 30 pounds, according to the shelter. Stay tuned for more details about Mae.
2/1/16 Update: Poor poor little Mae. I picked her up at the shelter Saturday and have never seen a more emaciated bulldog. It looked like someone had hooked her up to a vacuum sealer and took ALL the air and life out of her. I was amazed she could even walk. She couldnāt see well as her eyes were all matted with green gunkā¦..but that little tail was just spinning 90 to nothin! Mae went to see Dr. Randy this morning and she has a few issues we need to get cleared up and she needs to put on some weight. Sheāll be spayed on the 19th. She looks like she has had a litter(s) of puppies but there is no c-section scars(?). We received meds for yeast infected ears..abraded corneas plus dry eye. AND she does have her teethā¦.they are just worn completely down to her gum line, but it doesnāt hold her back from eating at all. Iām feeding her 4 small meals a day to not overwhelm her body. Weāll give her time before I say she may need to be an only dog. She is very aggressive with my other bully (and Bylthe will fight back) but Mae canāt do any damage with no teeth! She does sometimes try to start with the big dogs but they just walk away. A spray from the water bottle calms her down.
Mae has the most beautiful face and eyes and will follow you every where. If you come to her sheāll cower down and flop over for you to rub her belly. So we have a little work to do, but soon Mae will be waiting for her perfect family!
2/4/16 Update: Prayers are needed for foster girl Mae! Sheās currently at the vet clinic being treated for pneumonia. We believe sheāll be there for at least 3-4 days for aggressive antibiotic fluid therapy. Thankfully, her blood work looks OK and she doesnāt appear to have any kidney or liver issues. Mae is an older girl, so she needs all the well wishes and prayers you can send. Stay strong, Mae!
2/6/16 Update: Mae was released from hospitalization after 3 days intensive treatment today. She had a pneumonia with aspiration with perfuse lung involvement. She was on IV drug and hydration therapy with nebulizer and coupage tratments 3 times daily. She NEVER lost her appetite and have even gained 2# since picking her up last Friday I can continue nebulizer and coupage tratments at home while giving her crate rest for another 10 daysā¦then she goes back for reassessment. Mae is strong and a fighter and has the most sweetest little faceā¦..she will make any family fall in love with her and five her the BEST forever.
2/7/16 Update: Little Lady Mae is on the mend. This poor little girl could eat her way through a 30 pound bag of food in one day if she could. Sheās timid, but sheās getting confidence and has had no accidents in her crate. Sheās getting tired of bed rest, I thinkā¦ barking at me several times today to let her out and I canāt say no. Hopefully, at her checkup next week, weāll get a spay date and sheāll be on her way to her new life.
2/15/16 Update: Mae is starting to NOT looked like a piece of shrunken dried up leather. She eats 4 times a day and is always ready for more. Mae is smart and knows the food closet and where the treats are kept, and has no problem with trying to help herself by climbing to get something if she feels the need. With that pretty little cherub face, you canāt get mad at her. Sheāll just do her wiggle dance and roll over and give you a belly rubbing wiggle too! Mae is feeling better everyday and is almost finished with all her meds. She has a recheck this Friday.
2/24/16 Update: Little Miss Mae is well on the road to recovery. She has gained 4 pounds since we pulled her from the shelter and is starting to look like a Bulldog, instead of a shrunken piece of hide. Mae knows her feeding times and waits patiently on the kitchen mat hoping to make it come sooner. Since Mae came in heat this week, itāll be at least three weeks until we can get her spayed. Then sheāll be ready for her forever family. Mae gets more confident every day.
3/21/16 Update: Little Miss May is doing well and has gained weight fantastically! She now looks like a Bulldog. May is so cute and funnyā¦.she reminds me of a shuffling, little old ladyā¦.who TOOTS the whole wayā¦.ha..ha..ha. She has the LOUDEST and LONGEST TOOTS ā¦..youād think she was standing right beside you and sheās sleeping in the OTHER room! And theā¦y dont embarrass her at allā¦.she will take a treat or loving and toot the whole time.
Iāve reduced her feedings now to 3 times a day since sheās looking so goodā¦.hopefully, that might reduce the passing air. May sounds like an old, rusty lawnmower when she snores too. May loves to lay out on the back porch and sun herself or curl up with one of the big dogs and take a nap. Sheās just an old curmudgeon, and you canāt help but love that beautiful little face (after you clean out all the eye boogers).
May goes for her spay this Friday and she will begin earnestly looking for her furever home.
3/25/16 Update: I dropped little Miss May off at the clinic this morning for her spay. She was not impressed with the no breakfast thing! She followed close on my heels all morning, as if to say, āHey! Iām here. Did you forget something? Tummyās talking!ā
3/27/16 Update: Little Miss Mae did well with her surgery Friday. She was very sleepy coming home that afternoon buy was ready to EAT after 6pā¦lol! Saturday morning Mae was back to her old self and NOT happy with the crate confinement. Maeās jiggly bits are shrinking up nicely but dont allow much air yet to her tummy suturesā¦..thinking about ātapeing things UPā to allow more air circulation!
5/1/16 Update: Life is a set a challenges for May. This past week, she had an angry, angry eye, so she was sent to an eye specialist. May did so well resting her head on the scope so the doctor could see the growth.
Weāre all hoping its an inflamation granulation, so stronger, different meds were prescribed and weāll hope for improvement. If not, the eye will be removed as it could be a rare type of cancer. May sits well for her eye meds hourly and it doesnāt stop her from anything! Mae has started guarding the doggy doorā¦ letting no one in or out. Sheās the smallest in the group, but she runs the room. May needs a furever family that is wise to Bully ways, but ready for all the love and affection this senior gal has left to give and she has a LOT!
6/20/16 Update: Little miss Mae is just waiting for her furever family. This girl migjt be a senior but you cant tell by her energy level. She will play and play and playā¦..till I stop her and make her rest! Mae gets along fantastically with all the dogs here except for my personal bully :/ They just both want to be top bully and really canāt stand each other. But otherwise from my grandsonās young healer to my daughterās huge mastiff ā¦to the old man dobie Mae does just fine. She will share her toys or take them outside when she wants to start a game of keep away. Mae is so easy to care for ā¦.she doesnāt mind nail trims or bath time or eye meds. She loves to be brushed or to cuddle on the couch or bed and watch tv. She knows the schedule and will put herself in the kennel when the time is rightā¦.lol Mae would make any family the perfect little bully!
7/13/16 Update: Little Miss Mae may be a senior with nubs for teeth, BUT she has no lack of energy! She plays with most all the other dogs in residence and will play and play and playā¦.. like the Energizer bunny!Mae has her quirks and isnāt perfect, but you cant help not to fall in love with this little munchkin when she greets you with the rotor tail a twirlinā and the paw being offered to hold. Then sheāll flop right over to give you a big toot and lets ā¦you rub her bellyā¦..lol. Her eyesight isnāt the best and loud noises or quick movements can startle herā¦. but she just backs up and barks at āitā. She is just the sweetest little olā lady who wants a furever family to love
