Again I am not judging you. I am simply horrified at what I have been reading. I feel terrible for Moose...as I did for Gina. I was sick, sick, sick over her and horrified by your response to me when I said she needed to be hospitalized. When you posted how bad she was the next day it broke my heart.
No, I don't know you.....I am merely responding to what you have posted on this forum. And for someone who "runs a rescue" this is a terrible message about what rescue does .. sorry you don't like my saying it. I just had to say something this time because it is not the first time and sometimes people need to be awakened. That is not mean...it is being responsible. |
My vet was called, pictures where sent, and her condition was reported to my vet that night. I did what she advised me to do. Had she said or even hinted I should have taken her in that night I would have. She was kept comfortable on pain meds and antibiotics until my vet could evaluate her the next day. Even then, until we fully anesthetized her there was no way to know the extent - And she wasn't stable enough to do that until close to the end of business the following day. I did what we would have done in clinic - I started her on IV fluids, I administered shock treatment including fluids, antibiotics, and shock treatment, and kept my vet informed of her vitals, attitude, and everything about her through the night. You may not like it - But reality is regardless of where she was that night, that's what would have been done for her. My vet may not have seen her in person until the next day - But even after I dropped her off, she was left to rest in a cage getting the EXACT same care I'd been giving all night until she was stable enough they could anesthetize her and fully evaluate her injuries. Was it horrific? Yes, but would I have done anything different? Honestly, no! She was not in any way neglected or denied medical care.
