Brook's story....she needs your help.
Brook's Progress Report
Update 12/04/11
It has been about 2.5 months since my last update about Brook. In this time, several other rescued collies have come and gone, but Brook remains. She has been in rescue 9 months, and she is 18 months old. She has become a fully mature young lady right before my eyes.
After that set back she had in September, I have learned much more about Generalized Demodex disease that plagues our Brookie. Just when I thought I had it all down, there is yet more to learn.
Come to find out, that set back was because we took her off of the antibiotic too soon. I had thought, since her hair had fully grown back, and she had no more secondary skin infection, she no longer needed antibiotics. WRONG. I thought it was her scratching and chewing on herself that was causing the skin infection. Come to find out, the mites themselves can cause secondary skin infection. They live on the root of the hair, introducing bacteria to grow there. So even if the dog is no longer scratching and chewing, a skin infection can form, and that will also cause the dog to start scratching and chewing again. So, we put her back on antibiotics, and she is doing much better… again.

With great sadness in our hearts, we want to let our rescue friends know that Cathy recently passed away from Cancer. Cathy has been a mentor, teacher, and an inspiration to all of us at NCR. Many of you know Cathy, or know of her, but we would like to share with you what Cathy has meant to us here at NCR and her great passion for the Collie breed. We will start by telling you some things about her life and how NorCal Collie Rescue came to be and then share a few of her recent Collie rescue related accomplishments.
