2019年のご報告 Updating from 2019

あれよあれよと言う間に年が明け気がつけば1月も半ば…
ご報告することは山ほどあるのになかなか更新できなくてごめんなさい💦
Wouldn't you know, it's already half a month into the new year...
I have a mountain of things to update you on, but I haven't been able to do so--my apologies.

先ずは11月にお願いをした翔ちゃんの医療費に関するご報告を
おかげさまで28名の方から総額¥474,000のご支援をいただきました。
たくさんの里親様が協力を申し出てくださいました。実際の活動を知っている方々からの協力の申し出は本当にありがたくまた心強いです。
「FBで見ました。頑張ってくだい」「わんこを迎えることはできないけど協力させてくだい」「娘(ボランティアさんです)から話を聞いています。応援しています」など、一面識もない方からもたくさん協力をいただきました。ありがたくて涙が出ました。と同時に、しっかりとした活動を続けなければと背筋が伸びる思いです。
皆さんの温かいお気持ちに心から感謝いたします。
入院費￥272,630を支払い後の残金¥201,370は保護っ子達の医療費として大切に使わせていただきます。本当にありがとうございました。
First of all is the update on Sho-chan's medical expenses, which I requested help with back in November.
Thanks to 28 kind-hearted souls, we were able to gather together a total of ¥474,000.
Lots of adoptive families also offered their support. My heart warmed at all the offers of support from those of you who knew the real actions. I also received a lot of messages from people I've never once met: "I saw this on Facebook. Keep going!" "I can't take in a dog right now, but I'd love to help out!" "I heard about this from my daughter, who's a volunteer. I support you!"
All of this well-wishing made me about to cry. At the same time, I feel like I also have to ground myself and keep doing the hard work with my head held high.
I am deeply appreciative of all of your kindness.
After paying ￥272,630 in hospitalization fees, I used the remaining ¥201,370 for other foster dogs' medical bills. Thank you all so much.

翔ちゃん、残念な結果になってしまいました。
11/6に退院して術後の経過は良好、術後に始めたクッシングの治療も順調でした。
預かりボラさんからの連絡でもごはんをよく食べ元気にしている様子だったのですが、12/26に「朝起きたら嘔吐をした後があって少し元気もない」と連絡が入りました。
年末で激混みの病院、受付は終了していたけど翌日に延ばすのはあぶない気がして無理をお願いして診てもらいました。
発熱があり血液検査でも炎症所見が見られて即入院。
翌日の面会時、「目は開いているけど何も見ていない」様な感じ。呼びかけに対する反応もはっきりしなくて不安がよぎる。ごはんに口をつけずに横になったまま。
そして翌朝、息を引き取ったと連絡を受けました。
Unfortunately I don't have good news about Sho-chan.
The post-operation transition was going smoothly when he was discharged on 11/6, as was the treatment for Cushing we started. His foster parent sent me optimistic messages that he was energetic and eating fine, but then on 12/26, I got a different message: "When I woke up this morning, it looked like he'd thrown up, and he's lost his spunk."
It was at the end of the year when the vet is packed and the stop taking patients, but I decided it would be too dangerous to push it until the next day. I elbowed my way into the doctor's office.
They found he had gotten a fever and inflammation, and he was immediately admitted into the hospital again.
When I visited him the next day, I noticed his eyes were open, but he didn't seem to be seeing anything. He didn't respond when I said his name, which was disconcerting. He was just lying there and wouldn't even try to eat.
I received news that he passed away the next morning.

引き取り屋のケージの中で毛玉だらけになっていた翔ちゃん。
里親さんとのご縁は結んであげられなかったけど、アクティブな預かりさんの元でいろいろなところに連れて行ってもらったね。イベントに同伴でたくさんの人に可愛がってもらったり、先住のワンコさん達とお散歩も楽しかったよね。
預かりをしてくださったHさん、翔ちゃんにたくさんの愛情を注いでくださってありがとうございました。翔ちゃんはたくさんの楽しい思い出と共に虹の橋に旅立ったことと思います。
Sho-chan, you were a matted ball of fur inside a go-between's cage.
I couldn't get you into a forever home, but your loving foster family allowed you to live out your life, taking you here and there. You came with me to events and were cooed at by everyone, and you had fun on your walks with the other dogs.
To H-san, who fostered Sho-chan: you have my deepest thanks for all of the love you poured into him. He was able to go to heaven as a dog having had a life brimming with happy memories.

写真のない文字だけのブログになってしまいましがお許しを😅
また少しずつ報告させていただきます。
Please forgive that the post this time is without any pictures. 😅
I'll keep posting updates when I can.

預かりさんのところでお世話になっている翔ちゃん、検診で胆嚢粘液嚢腫が見つかり先日手術をしました。
胆嚢粘液嚢腫とは胆嚢内にゼリー状の粘液が過剰に貯まって胆嚢がパンパンに拡張した状態になり胆汁の分泌障害や破裂を起こす病気です。発生の正確なメカニズムは解明されていませんが、疑われる原因として、胆嚢の収縮機能低下、胆石（胆泥）症、脂質の代謝異常、ホルモンバランスの異常（甲状腺機能低下症、クッシングなど）腸炎などが胆嚢内の粘液過剰の要因になるのではないかと考えられています。翔ちゃんは胆嚢粘液嚢腫と共にクッシングも告げられていました。

Sho, who has been staying with a foster family, was found to have gallbladder mucocele and just underwent surgery a few days ago. Gallbladder mucocele is an illness in which gelatinous mucus inside the gall bladder builds up in excess. As a result, the gall bladder bulges out and causes bile secretion defects and rupturing. It's not quite sure what causes it, but some suspicions are a lowering of the gall bladder systolic function, gallstones and biliary sludge, metabolic abnormality with lipids, abnormal hormone balances (hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, etc.), and enteritis. Sho was diagnosed with both gallbladder mucocele and Chushing’s.

10/23 手術
術後、「無事終わっています。4,5日は預かりますね。面会は大丈夫です」と先生から連絡をいただきホッとしました。

Oct. 23 - Surgery

After it was finished, the vet contacted me, much to my relief, to let me know that surgery went smoothly and I could pick Sho up on Nov. 4 or 5.

翌日面会。動き回ってごはんも完食😊この様子なら早く退院できるかもと思っていたら…
I went to go see him at the vet the next day. He was moving around and ate all of his food. 😊 I thought that if he's like this now, he should be out of the vet in no time...

10/25  めっちゃ調子悪そう😱
食欲無し、嘔吐、黄疸、貧血、溶血、腹水
腹水を抜いて調べてウイルスなどの検出はありませんでした。
Oct. 25 - His condition went far downhill 😱
No appetite, vomiting,  jaundice, anemia, hemolysis, abdominal dropsy.
The abdominal dropsy was removed, and when examined, no traces of a virus or anything was found.

結局、術後膵炎でした。

一時は「万が一の事もあるかも知れない」というくらいまで落ちて、回復できるのか不安で不安でしかたなかったのですが、徐々に血液検査の結果も良くなってきてごはんも食べるようになり黄疸も消えてきて喜んでいたら…

It turned out to be postoperative pancreatitis.

For a while, we weren't sure if he'd be able to recover and had to prepare for the worst, but gradually his blood tests started coming back better, and he started eating again. The jaundice cleared up, and just as soon as we were about to celebrate...

10/31 面会に行ったら酸素室に入ってる😭
誤嚥性の肺炎。翔ちゃん、歯がなくていつも舌がペロンと出てる。それにシニアになって舌の動きも悪くなってそれで誤嚥したんじゃないかって😣。『弱り目に祟り目』熱は出てないみたいだけど、呼吸がすごく悪い。体力の回復もしてないのに…
Oct. 31 - When I went to visit him, I found him in the oxygen room.  😭
Pulmonary pneumonia. Sho doesn't have any teeth and his tongue is always drooping out of his mouth. Now that he's a senior dog as well, his tongue has lost some mobility, and I suspect food is often going down the wrong pipe. 😣 They say that misfortunes never come singly. It doesn't seem like he's got a fever, but his breathing is rough, and he hasn't recovered his strength back either...

11/7 酸素室に入って7日目。やっと退院の許可がおりて預かりさんの元に☺️
11/14  退院後の検診で経過が良好なのでクッシングの治療が始まりました。
Nov. 7 - He's been in the oxygen room for 1 full week. He got permission to be discharged and went back to his foster family. 😊
Nov. 14 - According to some tests, his progress is looking good, and we were able to start treatment for his Cushing's.

今日、病院から入院費が出ましたと連絡がありました。
合計¥272,630💸💸💸
Today I just got the communication of the hospital fees.
Totaling ¥272,630 (about US$2,500). 💸💸💸

今年に入ってトト、ポメ男、ポメ吉、チワ子の心臓手術4件、ゴマの膀胱癌摘出、ローリーの骨折整復手術、ジュリアの巨大食道症の手術、などなど大型の手術続きです。手術以外にも毎月のお薬代や検診代で正直いっぱいいっぱいです。
厚かましいお願いですが、医療費の協力をお願いできないでしょうか？
Since the beginning of the year, there's been major surgery after major surgery: heart surgeries for Toto, Pomeo, Pome-kichi, and Chiwako;  Goma's bladder cancer removal; Lori's bone fracture reduction; Julia's megaesophagus surgery; and the list goes on. Apart from surgery, I'm frankly also up to my neck in monthly medical bills and exam fees. I hate to ask, but can I please request your support in paying for some of the medical bills?

この子たちが痛みや苦しみではなく笑顔と安心の中で最期の時を迎えられるようご協力お願いいたします
These dogs were abandoned and labeled as "useless" because they're old and/or sick. Please help me in letting them live out the rest of their lives without pain and suffering, and instead with smiles and comfort.

はなちゃん その後 About Hana - Part 2

信じられないのですが、はなちゃんごはんを食べ始めました

始めはほんの少し。

でも食べる毎に量が増えて今日は一回に一缶ペロリ(￣◇￣;)

今まで亡くなる直前に急に調子が良くなって食べたり歩いたりした子がいるので不安だったのですが、はなちゃんの場合は回復しているのかも(*⁰▿⁰*)
I sometimes have charges that, right before death, suddenly start eating and walking about, so I was pretty nervous, but it looks like Hana's actually getting better!!

少し体力も戻ったのか夜鳴きも復活(⌒-⌒; )
She's got a bit of strength back, and her night whining has also made a return.

まだまだ安心はできないけど はなちゃん頑張ってます☺️
I still can't exactly relax, but she's hanging in there!  ☺️

どうしても頭が右側に曲がってしまう😥 She insists on turning her head like this
