First and foremost I would like to thank all the people thru Golo and WRAL for contacting me asking me how to help Mr Lee and his dogs out. Mr Lee is SO very greatful to you all !!  We've been both in tears a few times already.

 Ok, good news, he has found a fence company that will install the fence at NO  labor charge, we just have to raise the money for the materials.  I am waiting for him to call me back once he gets the estimate.

So with that now in the works, onto more things to help....  he only needs help for the winter then he will be back on track with his dogs. 

Here are some things I would like to get for him besides the money for the fence (that is my main goal to reach)

  • gift cards to Pet Smart, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot
  • come & get it dog food
  • a wagon to pull the dog food
  • dog houses if you have any to spare
  • extra chain link/posts for kennels
  • golf kart or gator to haul the food across the property (he uses a cane to walk)  he has a few acres of land and the dogs are spread out.

 

IF anyone can suggest ANYTHING else, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont hesitate.  I have to leave to a Dr's appt today at 1 and I dont think I will be back to work.  If I can have someone repost this blog for me later today (hint hint anyone)  that would be GREAT !

 

  I have a 7 hour road trip to take tomorrow (going to visit family) and I have a pinched nerve in my back, bone spurs  &  arthritus in both knees ..... been in a LOT of pain for the past week. Not cool at all !!!  So I am off to see my ortho doctor at 1:00  (wish me luck for some good stuff)  LOL

 

Thank you all again so very much. It means a LOT to me but even more to Mr Lee.  Cant wait to meet him on the 14th  and see YOU there too !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sessy, how is the fund raising going for the fence for Mr. Lee's pups?

hey guys..I just flooded QDR 94.7 with requests to help get the word out to the community..we will see..

YOU SHOULD ALSO TRY TO ENLIST HELP FROM OTHERS ON CRAIGSLIST, UNDER PETS. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LIST THERE FOR SERVICES NEEDED.

I copy and pasted it into an e-mail that I sent around to my family & friends. I challenge all ya'll to do the same. :-) The more, the merrier.

Ok, I can't find the paste dosage. The 1% solution (liquid) sells for around $45 for 50mL bottle. You could treat 50 dogs that weigh 100 lbs. each with one bottle - so you see, this goes a really long way and would certainly be cheaper than $70 for 12 dogs @ 100 lbs. each.

I know we talked earlier, maybe I should just send the money to the fence company??? Let me know what would work better. If they will pay for the labor, certainly we can help pay for the fence!!

I found the liquid form dosage info. When using 1% Ivermectin solution, give 1/10cc per 10 pounds of body weight. Yes, this is a VERY small amount. It is easiest when using a 1cc syringe to get exact amounts, but can be done using a 3cc syringe. Any larger than that and you'd be risking overdosing. I'll keep looking for the paste dosage info.

AnnaMarie, I think you're right: the liquid was injected into treats or maybe even squirted onto the food.

Good idea Sue. Sessy and I will look into that option also. Thank you.

Sessy, Not sure it will help, but if you want to do gift cards to Lowes, I can get 5% off of the purchase price of the gift cards. I dont know how you would want to do it; You can collect the money or I can--and I can give receipts as well if needed. You can email me at bstott@unitedhomeraleigh.com

Hopefully the money can go a little farther that way :)
