[Dailydrool] BaRCSE Lucy

[Jane Hay]

Well, our BaRCSE Lucy got to the vets today. She has infections
everywhere....her ears, eyes and that awful patch on her back is an awful
infection that was probably caused by an allergic reaction to exposure to
something or to the fleas that she was infested with. Thank doG that she
wasn't injured by being hit by a car or something awful like that like some
of us were afraid might have happened. She has no other physical injuries,
just massive infections everywhere. So Lucy has been shot with antibiotics
and prednisone and will be on pills, ear drops and eye drops and lotions for
a few weeks. I'm hoping that I'll be able to show all of you pictures of our
beautiful red and white girl with a full body of fur before too long!

I want to say a special thank you to Lucy's foster family. D and Don have
three of our foster hounds with them right now. Lucy with her health
problems, Clancy who came to us just about as thin as a dog can be and still
be able to walk around plus he's heartworm positive and Copper who is
also heartworm positive. They are one of our foster homes who are incredibly
dedicated to the hounds and they do everything that they can do to save as
many hounds as they can. I hope all of you foster homes who do what our
BaRCSE families do know that there is a special place in heaven for all of
you. D has been involved with BaRCSE since our beginning and has a
dedication to basset hounds that I wish every rescue could clone.

Thanks so much to all of you Droolers for your concern for Lucy and your
support for BaRCSE. Lucy is being very well cared for and well loved by her
foster family. I'll let you know when we have some more pictures of Lucy up
on our site that will show you what a beauty queen this sweet girl is.
