I made sure to clean up VERY good before letting Sierra and Bud near me. I disinfected the entire car too, door handles, steering wheel... everything!!
I thought I should let you know the following ASAP.
One of the 4 pups tested + for parvo and kennel cough yesterday
and passed away last night.
The other three are hanging in there.
RIP Trapper.
I transported the pups in Serra's crate
and disinfected it several times before bringing it in my house.
Actually, it's still folded up in the basement, she hasn't even been in it since.
Both of my pups are UPD on shots as well.
What happened to "Truth in Transporting"??
Were these Pups "advertised" as being "In Good Health" and "Vet Checked"??
Coordinators do a great disservice to ALL of us involved in Rescue and Transporting when
they gloss over the true facts and health condition of the animals they're trying to "move".
After hearing a few Tails such as this one ... I find myself thinking of more reasons why
I "can't" help out with a transport.
The health of MY FurKids has got to be considered before I allow "their" Bus and "their DAD"
to be contaminated with possibly deadly vermin that might fester for months before
being discovered and diagnosed.
Here's HOPING that Buddy and Sierra suffer no ill effects, and the other Pups all survive.
