<DIV><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to thank
**everyone** for their words of encouragement, kindness, and equal shock at how
this elder lady came in. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will update the page I made
with photos of her beautiful senior (spelled correctly this time!) self later
this evening so folks can see the sweet hound that was attached to those
horrible nails.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>She's at BROOD's
main vet in Hagerstown ... Cumberland Valley Veterinary Clinic ... they see soo
many bassets thanks to Brood .. and this wasn't a first for them .... but still
a shocker. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Their first move was to do a blood workup to make sure she was
healthy and could withstand treatments. She passed with flying colors
(albeit her white blood cell count was high - go figure with those nails) and
after they were sure, they gave her the silly gas, then the sleepy drug, and
took those nails off, twisted them back out of the pads, and soaked her tootsies
in betadine... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for my part of
the transport, I'm done, but still anxious to hear how she's doing .. her next
step after vetting will be looking for fosters in the WV, VA, MD, DC, lower PA
even Delaware areas ... or she may be housed temporarily at the wonderful Animal
Kingdom Kennels just south of Hagerstown in Fairplay MD ... they make trips for
Brood's hounds to CVVC since they are so close and get excellent attention and
evaluation with other hounds..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know it may sound
like plugging businesses .. but really I can't say enough good things about
either Cumberland Valley Veterinary or Animal Kingdom.. where I help transport
hounds to and fro ... these are the places that take care of the bassets short
or long term till they are ready for fosters and well enough to travel..

<DIV><SPAN class=231001216-19042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone does have
a few dollars to spare, I know BROOD needs the funds, not just for Priscilla,
but for many other hounds that have been brought in with bills behind them.. I
know one of Brood's fosters is covering the cost of Chemo for "just another
dog", a Basset that someone else gave up on and Brood took in.. and even
though their ramble is coming up, I know the funds will be needed throughout the
year... so many hounds.. so little time....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
