i work on an acute psych ward. i cant believe an RN did this! this just tells me that she was probably mentally unstable anyways. The 72 hr hold is what is done in psych-if they find her sick enough after 72 hours they can start committment papers and commit her for 30 or 60 days to a psych ward.
Those poor dogs-i hope they all find great homes! i really feel for them all..
