He waited for his forever home. Sometimes it seemed like a dream. When he came into rescue, he was close to staving to death. Then he had heartworm, a blood-borne illness and a bladder infection. He got treated for it all, but the heartworm medicine put him at death's door again. He fought it off. Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He greets every human as a potential friend, loves kids and meets other dogs with a friendly, proud tail wag. He deserves the best and he's going to get it. On Saturday, April 11, Cam goes home! He'll be heading from Wisconsin to Maryland, going from volunteer driver to volunteer driver until he reaches his new family. Thanks and blessings to all those volunteers for seeing Cam home. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE-gnV7LI/AAAAAAAAFNQ/NwbVbndf1kU/s1600-h/Cameron+with+Pilot+Mike.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE-gnV7LI/AAAAAAAAFNQ/NwbVbndf1kU/s400/Cameron+with+Pilot+Mike.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370759133825199282" /></a>Thanks Pilot Mike for taking me to my forever home. <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE-G8h9HI/AAAAAAAAFNI/Kn9_FBcXwg0/s1600-h/Cameron+in+the+window+seat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE-G8h9HI/AAAAAAAAFNI/Kn9_FBcXwg0/s400/Cameron+in+the+window+seat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370759126934746226" /></a>Only first class window seat for me.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE9kF5xUI/AAAAAAAAFNA/Jgi7mSZMlSs/s1600-h/Cameron+and+his+luggage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D4UHUBBqEF0/SojE9kF5xUI/AAAAAAAAFNA/Jgi7mSZMlSs/s400/Cameron+and+his+luggage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370759117578814786" /></a>Waiting for my luggage.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SeLFCbbrsEI/AAAAAAAAAa4/6wDMutHft9k/s1600-h/IMG_0113_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324034355019624514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SeLFCbbrsEI/AAAAAAAAAa4/6wDMutHft9k/s400/IMG_0113_1.JPG" border="0" /></a>Look at him.

Now that he had gained some weight, all he needed was to be neutered. Unfortunately, his pre-procedure bloodwork showed that he was heartworm positive. He had a false negative when he was tested upon entry to foster care! The vet suspects that the disease was just beginning when he was in the shelter and thus didn't show up on the first blood test. So, no neuter for him. He also had a blood-borne parasite and a bladder infection, poor guy. He's had his first bout of heartworm treatment and antibiotics are fixing the other health problems. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316232893231865026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SccNplhVHMI/AAAAAAAAAYw/ipESTis1W5o/s400/DSCF5185.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><div>Cammy is going to have to do a lot of resting while those nasty, dead heartworms dissolve into his blood. But he's a survivor, is Cam. And his forever family in Maryland is waiting for him to join them. Cam's vet billing will probably total over $1,000 when all is said and done. If you'd like to help, use the IBR link to the right. Every little bit helps. And keep Cam in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy, healthy recovery. </div></div>Jodi Hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00874140685562927868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047856255281783356.post-57331029987860604582009-03-22T23:02:00.006-05:002009-04-02T15:23:04.698-05:00Forever Home!<div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SdUd1SuwUPI/AAAAAAAAAZY/v4Mrebn3kcU/s1600-h/crabs.jpg"></a><br /><div>Cameron's has a forever home!

Since his foster sibs, Abby and IBR adoptee Duncan, are spayed and neutered, Cameron has no enticement to mark his new household. He was leashed to his foster moms or crated for the first few days with outside potty breaks every 2 hours. Cameron had two near flubs in the first few days, but he was quickly redirected outside. Potty-training success! He now has full house privileges. What a smart boy.<br /><br />On his first night, Cameron snuggled into his soft bed of blankets on the floor.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx7-I95OY9tn6eFooUGqBNkKs75Q13YSQe22DEURZspCicoq0dB0Ntbp6NVhk0mS5D9Xj5LlQ1sUt9BE0ZD3Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Jodi Hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00874140685562927868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047856255281783356.post-71041866886755515962009-01-13T11:45:00.001-06:002009-01-19T01:37:11.602-06:00Cam Gains Weight!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291044167974155586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SW2QozsAdUI/AAAAAAAAATU/Z2gR2hF6BVQ/s200/DSCF4805.JPG" border="0" />At his first foster home, Cameron gained 8 pounds in a little over two weeks! His foster mom credits good food, fresh air, playing with her children and cream cheese.<br /><br /><div><div></div><div>This boy is very interested in his unspayed foster sister. He likes to show her he's a great catch by marking the house and challenging the other unneutered male. Cameron must be younger than we thought, because he's still got an eye for the ladies! As soon as he gains a little more weight he'll be neutered, which should curb his enthusiasm and marking. In the meantime, Cameron is going to a new foster home with less temptation so that he can learn the rules for living with people. All dogs must pee outside is Rule #1.</div></div>Jodi Hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00874140685562927868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047856255281783356.post-35485022197847508112009-01-13T11:39:00.005-06:002009-02-01T23:44:06.329-06:00Cam's Journey to Foster Care<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SW2LkJ5TYVI/AAAAAAAAASk/1ijmM0X169s/s1600-h/CAMERON_3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291038590478016850" stylestyle="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt=""src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SW2LkJ5TYVI/AAAAAAAAASk/1ijmM0X169s/s400/CAMERON_3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Cameron began to perk up on the car trip to foster care. Look at how his head is lifted and his tail is starting to wag. He's checking out his world and surroundings.<br /><br />And here he is, safe, clean and warm. Poor boy weighs only 38#. IBR will be monitoring his health and getting him proper vetting, but mostly he just needs good, healthy food and a warm, soft place to sleep.

He had laid in a kennel in his own urine so long that his white fur was yellow along his belly, tail and legs. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SXQcL7iC1HI/AAAAAAAAAT8/G5bgaqOR_l0/s1600-h/skinny+cam.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292886453351797874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 141px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 195px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_97i7_N21w3M/SXQcL7iC1HI/AAAAAAAAAT8/G5bgaqOR_l0/s320/skinny+cam.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And he was thin. So thin you could see every bone in his spine and hips. He was within a few days of starving to death. The picture on the right is Cameron's body <em>after</em> he gained 8 pounds. A kind shelter officer asked IBR to foster him so that he would have a second chance. IBR transported him to safe and warm foster home a few days after Christmas. What a present for Cameron!<br /><br />Come back to watch Cam's progress and recovery.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
