Cleo was one of several dogs we rescued from a hoarding type situation in northern Alberta. When she first came into our care, she was a terrified puppy who has matured into such a sweet, gentle young lady. Cleo is loved by everyone & everything and has yet to meet a living creature she didn’t quickly become fast friends with. She is, quite simply put, a beautiful soul.
Throughout her time with us, Cleo has endured many tummy troubles. At first we thought she was probably badly infested with worms, so she was tested & treated for that, to no avail. Then we thought she might have a parasite like giardia but testing & treating for that proved fruitless. Next we suspected some sort of food allergy, but that theory also did not pan out. Now we think that Cleo suffers from something along the lines of irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, or stomach ulcers. We are trying her on a variety of different medications and special, easily digested foods to see if this might help and we hope that we finally might have figured out the mystery to Cleo’s tummy. However all of this testing, treating, medications and special foods have racked up some extensive bills in her name. We are hoping some kind souls out there might be willing to make donations in Cleo’s name to assist us with her ongoing care.
