I just talked to Lorna. Scruffy is doing a little better. The vet gave him a special bath to try to soften up the burns. They will do that 2-3 times a day to try to keep him more comfortable. He is on pain medication which keeps him more relaxed and quiet. The poor little sweetheart...my heart just aches over this. The vet told Lorna that he will have to have surgery at least 2 more times to remove the scabs that form. Lorna will go to the vet after work to talk about what would be best for Scruffy...to stay with the vet or to come home with her.

Lorna has been in contact with the owner of the other puppy that was burned and guess what...there's a third puppy burned now, but Lorna hasn't found out the name yet. She is searching for a lawyer and will also check out all the suggestions given here.

Thanks so much for all your responses and prayers. You are all such a great bunch of people! I've let Lorna know and also sent her the addy for this thread so she can see for herself, and she may even join!

I will keep you updated on little Scruffy's condition!
