<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">We have a sick little Basset
guy on our hands. We cannot figure out what is going on with him. Rudy
has had such a hard life and he is always wagging his tail always anxious to
please. Even when things seem at their worst we look at him and know everything
will be okay. He is a survivor making the best out of the worst. He came to us
because he was heartworm positive and no one would adopt him from the pound. He
was thrown out of a car into the WalMart parking lot on Christmas eve. He was
taken to the pound by a woman who saw him being dumped and Western Missouri
Basset Rescue got a call from the city pound saying they have a Basset with
heartworms and would we take him because no one will adopt a dog that is going
to cost them $450.00 to get treated. We got Rudy just after Christmas the year
before last and treated him for heartworms. His teeth were in horrible shape and
we got them cleaned twice in the year but the canines kept getting infected so
we had them removed just before Christmas this year. He licks himself like
cat so he got an infection in the roof of his mouth from hair collecting there.
Now we had him back to the vet to get the hair removed from his teeth just this
past Tuesday and now he will not eat and when he drinks he vomits and he is
having diarrhea. He is such a little guy we are worried this might be the
end of him. I am going to take him back to the vet today as soon as they open.
Please sling some drool toward our rescue for Rudy. </FONT></DIV>
