<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Balloon>I really need to vent about stupid
people. While at the vet clinic yesterday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>with foster gal, Anya, the vet took me in (on the
sly) to see a little 4 yr. old female </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>basset. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>She had a large mass on her left hip and was thin! They had
to give her a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>bath before they </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>could clean up the mass, which of course is infected. Hello,
she lives outside!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>I am holding </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Balloon>back the description for those that have a weak tummy. </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Balloon>So I will just say that it was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>bad. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>This was the first time that she has been seen by
a vet! How stupid can people</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>be to not to want to get her taken care
of???!!!! Of course she is losing weight she </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>has an infection and a mass! All I can say
is that it is a good thing that those</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>idiots were not there! My heart broke for
that little girl but I was furious inside.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>I talked to the vet today and was told the
"people" want to think about it. They have</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>been given two weeks, which I think is too long
but what can you do? Especially when</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>you don't know who they are????
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>On a happier note at least the initial slide the
vet did was not showing abnormal cells.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>So we are requesting drool and prayers for this
little girl. I am praying the people either </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>take care of her properly or give her up so she
has a chance to live the life she deserves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>We are in extreme drool production,</FONT></DIV>
