How to put any of this into 25 words or less is be difficult . stowe was placed with a family in New Hampshire and our very experienced staff was to be keeping track of her . we got glowing reports that she was fine just not in heat ever .I never checked up ---so the fact that there was a huge problem. Is basically my fault. .INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT ---WAS NEVER MORE TRUE. SDP was responsible for the supervision of stowe.
to skip forward to the current . i sent Pam -- who picked her up-- She was lethargic and covered with fleas---- I didn't want to bring her here until we got a better line of what was wrong plus get rid of the fleas so I sent her directly to the emergency vet care in Andover Bulger hospital who kept her overnight cleaned her up and when I talk to them in the morning—the vet quite rightly
Gave me heck for not keeping track of this dog and why did I not realize what was going on with this dog. With a not very subtle “just who was in charge of this dog ? “--- it was determined I could bring her home on medication and she would recover ---probably ---no major things were uncovered at that point---- I did opt to bring her home knowing that they would have done more studies if I'd left her there however when I called back mid morning Bulger had closed on an emergency basis because of the cover virus . so when she got home and began to spike a temp we tried to go to our local that who immediately sent her to Woburn which is the Massachusetts emergency vet hospital in Woburn------ to the tune of $2500 a day probably.
I have opted to try and give her a chance which boils down to ---she will be there for a week if she survives everything and then will be home and on medication for another month or two which we ought to be able to handle without any problem--- it's the week in the Hospital that will involve care tests medications which could also be risky but we're gonna try . I will match what is in the fun fund so the $10,000. Required deposit Is covered.
Boils down to … faced with a mess…. We will do the best we can for stowe.. which just might be a recovery—however it might also be storke/heart attack. I did sign a do not resuscitate order for her … which I feel is in her best interest.
AS ANGRY AS I AM ABOUT THE CONDITION OF STOWE , I must not get negative, because there are many people I can and do trust.
Fact still remains true… 99% of dogs are honest. I must quit there.
