HERA - INRI

[EN | DE BELOW]
--------------
UPDATE 24.01.2013. Astazi Dl. Dr. Grosu ne-a transmis rezultatele citirii noului  RMN al Herei, de la colegii sai de la Royal College. Din pacate, vestile nu sunt imbucuratoare, concluzia la care au ajuns doctorii este ca hera sufera de o posibila usoara atrofie cerebeloasa. Iar problemele ei isi au baza in disfunctii metabolice sau intr-o toxicoza.
Se recomanda efectuarea unor analize CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis), asta ar insemna o noua anestezie pentru prelevarea culturii prin intermediul unei punctii in zona cervicala, ceea ce presupune un risc destul de mare la care sa fie supusa Hera. Maine vom discuta in amanunt cu dr. Stefan pentru a vedea care este cea mai buna solutie pentru Hera si va vom tine la current cu evolutia ei. -----------------
Today Dr. Grosu sent us the results of the reading of the MRI images at Royal College. Sadly, the news are nor good, Hera seems to be suffering of a mild cerebellar atrophy. Her problems seem to be caused by an underlying metabolic disorder or a toxicosis. Recommendations are to have Hera take a CSF Analysis (Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis) and culture. This would mean Hera would have to be put again under anesthetic so that spinal fluid can be drawn by puncture, this could be very dangerous for her. Tomorrow we will talk with Dr. Stefan in detail on how to proceed from here on. We will keep you all updated on her situation.

HERA este o catelusa batrana(~10 ani), care are nevoie disperata de o casa linistita si plina de dragoste. A avut o viata groaznica pana acum si chiar merita o poveste cu final fericit. Este o catelusa foarte cuminte, educata, care nu latra si care se intelege bine cu oameni, caini si chiar si pisici.
Nu are nevoie decat de plimbari scurte si de un camin cald unde sa se simta iubita si in siguranta. Cautam o persoana responsabila, care sa o adopte

POVETEA EI: A fost gasita in parcul Herastrau de niste voluntari ai Peace Corps, care au salvat-o din lac, unde cazuse. Acestia au dus-o la veterinar, dar dupa investigatii si din cauza ca era in stare de soc, avea probleme aparent neurologice si ei urmau sa plece din tara in curand au dorit sa o eutanasieze. Doctorii nu au fost de acord cu eutanasierea unui caine aparent sanatos si au insistat pe langa proprietari sa i se faca un RMN si pana la urma i-au convins. Insa RMN-ul facut nu a fost unul de calitate si nici cu substanta de contrast, asa ca nu a ajutat la determinarea starii ei. La plecarea acestora din Romania Hera(Hellen pe atunci) a ajuns la o alta persoana, care, dupa ~1 luna a decis si ea ca Hera trebuie eutanasiata, pentru ca o deranja prezenta ei(desi Hera este un caine calm, cuminte, care nu latra si nu este deloc agitat).

CUM AM AJUNS NOI SA O AJUTAM: La jumatatea lunii decembrie, in urma unui apel disperat de la o cunsotinta, am incercat sa ajutam aceasta catelusa sa traiasca. Am primit atunci zeci de cereri de adoptie, majoritatea venite de la oameni care au reactionat strict din impuls. Primul adoptator a returnat-o in mai putin de 24 de ore pentru ca mai avea 2 caini, care erau agresivi cu Hera. Din acel moment Hera a fost internata la cabinetul veterinar HappyPet, pentru a fi tinuta sub supraveghere.

STAREA EI ACUM: Din momentul internarii Hera a fost trecuta pe un complex de B-uri si s-a incercat stabilirea cauzei tremurului pe care il avea la nivelul capului. In data de 05.01.2013 a fost dusa la radiografie, unde s-a speriat si stresat destul de tare. Desi radiografiile au iesit bine, in acea seara Hera a avut o criza epileptiforma, de pe urma careia si-a pierdut vederea pentru 3 zile. Dupa multiple incercari am reusit sa dam intr-un final de RMN-ul facut la prima clinica unde fusese tratata, l-am trimis la un speicalist din Germania, dar din cauza faptului ca RMN-ul fusese facut prost si fara substanta de contrast, acesta nu a putut fi citit.
Din cauza crizei de tip epileptic, a tremurului capului si a varstei, consideram ca cel mai bine ar fi ca viitorii stapani sa stie care este exact problema acestei cateluse si sa fie adoptata doar dupa ce i s-a pus un diagnostic. Pentru aceasta ea are nevoie de un RMN facut corect, care sa poate fi citit si interpretat.
Tratamentul Herei acum: tratamanet pentru sustinerea sistemului nervos centralcu Karhivan si Piracetam si de asemenea un complex de Vitamina B, Milgam.

DE CE ARE NEVOIE: o familie intelegatoare si iubitoare, care sa ii ofere dragostea pe care o merita pentru ultimii ei ani de viata.

CUM PUTETI AJUTA: Adoptand-o si oferindu-i astfel o sansa la o viata normala!
---------------------------
HERA is a senior (~ 10 years old) female dog, that desperately needs a safe and loving home. She had an
awful life until now and she truly deserves a peaceful old age. Hera is a very good dog, educated,well behaved, doesn't bark , she interacts well with humans, dogs and cats. She only needs short walks and a warm place to stay, where she can feel safe and loved. We are looking for a responsible person that wants to adopt her.

HER STORY: She was first found by some volunteers of the Peace Corps, that were walking through Herastrau and noticed she fell into the lake. They fished her and took her to the vet. As she was in a state of shock, she could not see and was disoriented; the vets ran a whole panel of test on her to establish what the cause was. All results came out right, but Hera still had a tremor of the head.
The vets there asked for an MRI but the owners were not convinced it was needed and delayed to give their ok for the MRI to be done. They, instead, considered Hera (called Hellen at that time) needed to be put down, as they had no interest in keeping her, as they were leaving for the USA in a short while.
They looked for someone to keep her after they were gone and this is how Hera was moved to a second owner, who after 1 month also decided that the best solution for Hera was euthanasia as they considered she was too big for the apartment and constantly standing in their way (even though Hera is a peaceful and calm medium size dog that doesn't bother anyone with anything).

SINCE WE STARTED TO HELP: In December we posted a picture of Hera in order to save her from being put to sleep. We received an incredible number of adoption requests for the dog, most of them from people that acted based on first impulse. The first adopter gave Hera up in less than 24 hours after adoption, because the he had two other dogs that supposedly were aggressive with Hera and since then she is in our care, fostered at a vet clinic we work with.

HER HEALTH CONDITION NOW: At the clinic, Hera received vitamin shots daily and the doctors performed investigations to establish the condition she is in, due to her age and head trembling. On 05.01.2013 the doctors performed an X-ray and the results proved that the dog doesn't have any problems with the spinal cord. Unfortunately, because she was very stressed during the x-ray, that night Hera had an epileptic type seizure that left her blind for three days. After lots of attempts we managed to receive the MRI the was made when she was still with her first owners. We sent it to a specialist in Germany, but because the MRI wasn't done properly the doctor could not read and said it needs repeating.
Because of the seizure, the head trembling and her age, the vets consider that it would be best for her and for her future owner to know exactly what is her condition and if there is any treatment that would help her feel better. In order to put a diagnosis Hera needs a proper MRI that the doctors would be able to read.
Hera's treatment now: a support treatment for her central nervous system with Karhivan and Piracetam and also Milgam, a complex of Vitamin B.

WHAT SHE NEEDS: A loving and safe family, able to offer her a peaceful old age.

ÜBER HERA: Hera ist eine alte Hündin(cca. 10 Jahre alt) die auf der Suche nach einer liebevollen, verantwortlichen Familie ist. Sie hat viel in ihrem Leben gelitten und verdient jetzt ein schönes Ende zu ihrer Geschichte. Sie ist ein sehr guter Hund, gut erzogen, bellt nicht & ist sozial mit Menschen. Sie kommt auch gut zurrecht mit anderen Hunden und Katzen. Sie braucht nur kurze Spaziergänge und ein warmes Plaetzchen, wo sie sich sicher und geliebt fühlen kann.

IHRE GESCHICHTE: Im Dezember veroeffentlichten wir ein Bild von Hera, einem Hund, der nicht mehr von seinen Besitzern erwuenscht war und deshalb haette eingeschlaefert werden sollen. Die Nachricht war nicht gedacht um Leute zu beeindrucken, es war nicht unsere Entscheidung, wir wollten diesem Hunde nur helfen. Wir haben eine unglaubliche Anzahl von Adoptionsanfragen für diesen Hund erhalten - die meisten von ihnen von Menschen, die aus einem Impulse zum Helfen reagiert haben. Seitdem hatte sie zwei gescheiterte Adoptionen. Die erste geschah weniger als 24 Stunden nachdem sie in ihr neues zuhause war, da die neue Familie zwei andere Hunde hatte, die anscheinend aggressiv mit Hera waren. Die zweite Person hat aufgehoert unserer Anrufe oder Nachrichten anzunehmen, an dem Tag an welchem sie Hera in der Tierklinik, wo sie gefostert wurde, besuchen sollte.

IHR ZUSTAND: In der Klinik erhielt Hera Vitamine und die Ärzte führten Untersuchungen durch, um sich ein Bild ueber ihren Zustand machen zu koennen, und wegen ihres Alters, und weil ihr Kopf zitterte. Am 2013.05.01 führten man Roentgenaufnahmen durch, und die Ergebnisse bewiesen, dass der Hund keine Probleme mit dem Rückenmark hat. Leider, weil sie während der Roentgenaufnahmen zu gestresst war, erlitt Hera in der Nacht einen epileptischen - aehnlichen Anfall, welchen sie blind für drei Tage gelassen hat. Nach vielen Versuchen gelang es uns, ein MRI von ihrem ersten Besitzer zu erhalten. Wir schickten es zu einem Spezialisten in Deutschland, aber weil das MRI nicht ordnungsgemäß durchgefuehrt wurde, konnte der Arzt es nicht lesen und riet es zu wiederholen. Jetzt besteht ihre behandlung aus: KARHINAN und PIRACETAM – Unterstützung für Ihr Nervesystem – und MILGAM – ein B-Komplex.
