| omg the poor thing. That vet ought to be shut down permantly. Did the vet even call to see how scruffy how was doing. Maybe she should stand outside with those pics and show his clients what happens when you bring your pets in to him. that makes me so mad. . |

| That brings tears to my eyes... I can't believe they would let a puppy be burned during surgery, especially to the extent! It's outragous!

| That is so sad! Not meaning to switch gears here but where did your friend get her yorkie/maltese mix? I'm looking for a breeder who will ship and who doesn't charge 1,000$$ for a puppy! Thanks in advance for any info ANYONE might have. |

| Update on Scruffy 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! |

| OMG...poor scruffy, how could this happen...I would definately want that vet put out of business. Poor baby. why do they use heaters...is it just for the air temp? She should picket outside his office to make sure no one else brings thier dogs in there...I would call Peta or something. |

I didn't understand the heater thing either. I posted this earlier today... I was talking to a friend here at work who's ex is a vet. She said they lay the dog on it's back on top of a heating pad and if it gets wet, the thermostat can malfunction. But now they have water heated heating pads that just run warm water through it instead of being heated with coils - or something like that. I just can't even imagine what I'd be doing if that had happened to my dog. Best wishes and lots of hugs to the owner of this poor baby....

| Don't Give Up Please tell your friend to not give up as long as their is afighting chance!!! Unless poor scruffy is in extreme pain and there is no relief in sight, please tell her don't consider putting him down. Now back to the pics, those are horrible!!! I can't imagine how much that poor dog hurts. I agree with eveyrone's advice: newpapers, local tv stations, picket line, sue sue sue!!! That vet does not need to own a business every!! If you had told me that she rescued scruffy from someone that beat/tortured him I would believe those pics but not froma vets office!!! He doesn't know what the hell he is doing. Please know your friend and scruffy will be in my prayers and I hope that vet gets whats coming to him. I really think she needs to get her story put in a local paper if at all possible to get the word out to others. Also there are many members on here that I'm sure would volunteer their time to create a simple website to warn people about this vet. |

YT Addict | Omg! Poor Scruffy! I started crying when I was reading about the poor pup. Oh, my heart goes out to you and the owner. Don't give up on the pup, they have more strength than most of us can understand. We will pray and keep you all in our thougths. And, please have that vet put out of business...

| Prayer OMG I am so sorry! I feel so bad for Scruffy! Those pictures are horrendous. Here is a prayer for Scruffy (The prayer should be said by someone for 9 consecutive days) Prayer for Our Animal Friends Heavenly Father, the bond we have with our friends of other species is a wonderful and special gift from You. We now ask You to grant our special animal companions your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have. They trust in us as we trust in You. Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of Yours. Our souls and theirs are on this earth together to share friendship, affection, and caring. Take our heartfelt prayers and bless these ill or suffering animals with healing Light and strength to overcome whatever weakness of body they have: (Scruffy) Your goodness is turned upon every living thing; Your grace flows to all Your creatures. Your Light touches each of us with the reflection of Your love. Grant long and healthy lives to our special animal companions. Bless their relationships with us, and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us but only drawing closer to You. Grant our prayer through the intercession of good St. Francis of Assisi, who honored You through all Your creatures. Empower him to watch over our animal friends until they are safely with You in eternity, where we someday hope to join them in honoring you forever. Amen. |

| Poor Scruffy! My husband is an attorney here in Georgia and says that in GA you would have a civil case for vet malpractice. I don't know the law in ND, but check it out. This vet should be made to pay, and hopefully, put out of business. |
