<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Just wanted to let everyone know
the progress on Buster. The Orthopedic surgeons at MU Veterinary Teaching
hospital sent a fax to my vet saying they can fix Busters leg. Woohooo!!! This
is awesome news my vet was not sure anythig could be done. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">The cost of the surgery is
normally between $3000 and $3500 but the doctors said they will give us a big
discount because we are a rescue and will reduce the expense down to $2000.00
this is a wonderful gift to help Buster live pain free, right now he yelps
when he tries to use his bad leg I know it must hurt him. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">A couple of Droolers are helping
this computer illiterate Basset Rescue mom figure out a fundraiser to help
with the surgery cost. One Drooler Brenda Waldrop from San Diego has made a
beautiful necklace we are going to raffle and another Drooler Claudia
O'Neil made us a gorgeous quilt to raffle but my computer broke down so I feel
uneasy starting a raffle until I get another computer. So fundraising is on hold
right now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">In the meantime, I will make an
appointment with MU tomorrow to get his pre surgery visit and pray that
somehow we come up with half down needed to get it done. The vet
says Buster has Angular limb deformity and they need to break his leg in
two places and twist the bone around backwards and then plate it to heal. It
will be so nice for him to be pain free. Ever since he was born this poor Basset
boy has been miserable. With eyelashes scratching his eyes and this bad leg. His
eyes are fixed now so we have to figure out how to get his leg done!!! Poor
baby!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">I will keep everyone informed as
best I can while I steal computer time from friends and neighbors. I lost
everyones email addresses and all my information that was on my puter when it
crashed on me last week. I am taking it to a computer geek I know to see if he
can retrive anything for me this weekend. Drool to all in need. sling some find
donations drool for Busters surgery this way if you have any to spare. Thank
you!</FONT></DIV>
