As far as the dogs who are living in horrific conditions... yes I am and will continue to do something about them. Do you? Have you? If you have knowledge of those type of situations then you should also be doing something to help these animals. After all isn't that how you make your living? I have and will continue to be involved in yorkie rescue. As a matter of fact, I have 4 rescue's living with me now. Maybe that's something you should consider doing as well. There are plenty of yorkies out there who need homes & help. Granted, you won't make any money doing it, as a matter of fact it cost a lot money to put most of these dogs back together!
As far as liver shunts... I'd love to talk to you about that as well. I have a liver shunt dog he also has MVD. He had shunt surgery 6 weeks ago by Dr. Tobias. And yes, he was a rescue that I kept. As you should know, since you seem to be up on the research... not all liver shunt surgery works! Each dog is different! Most dogs do not even show any signs of a liver shunt until they are around 3yrs old. My dog had normal blood work & no signs when I rescued him. 13 months later blood work showed a high spike in ALT & AST. 4 months after that he started getting very sick! |
Tell us more about your rescues, what are there names and why they all need surgery, it is hard for me to beleive that 4 out of 4 rescue dogs all have to have surgery or do you only adopt the hardest cases you can find?
