I dont understand rescue group work. There should be more than 1 person who can authorize where the fosters can take the little ones to get help. Just in this case when someone is consumed in another emergency.
If it's who is going to pay, I'd deal with that business later and take the little ones to get help especially in this situation where a broken bone is possible. Please dont get mad but if I was a potential adoptive person I would not be happy that a rescue group that I was about to deal with had to wait for someones approval in an emergany or non emergany basis. I'd be going else where to adopt.
I know from previous posts there have been issues with certain vet's at this group the fosters have to take them too. Maybe it's time to put the vets in their place and tell them to treat the animals and the fosters with respect.
