***UPDATE, POST #50*** Please Pray For Harley (lady's Baby)

PRAYERS for Harley!

Is there any recourse against the first vet???? I can't see any vet doing such a poor job just because they didn't get the money they wanted to charge.

...gawd...

I spoke with Lisa and Al a little bit ago. They said when the vet called she was in tears. There was so much toxins and "crap" coming out of Harley during surgery. She did what she could and closed him up. He came out of surgery alive. He is now on a heating pad, as is tempature is only at 98 degrees. He has antibiotics running in him to try to get rid of the toxins she could not remove, and he is on fluids. They sent blood out to see if he is low on any proteins and to see if he needs a blood donor. If he does, Scruff will donate if he is a match, if not she has other donor dogs. The vet said he has a 50/50 chance. We won't know anything until the morning. The vet said if the sutures hold in his intestines, and the antibiotics clean up the toxins, he will make it. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Please keep praying. Thank you.

Oh my gosh, that made me cry. I will keep praying for sweet Harley. Stuff like this is so heartbreaking.

Poor baby! He'll be in our prayers.

That just kills me to read.. I cant BELIEVE any "vet" would do that to a dog!
Im just in shock. And I feel so bad for Harley's parents.. that would just be nerve-racking to have a dog in that state... after putting him in someone's hands who you thought would take care of him. Just devastating. Is there vet-malpractice? Thats just ridiculous.

Im so glad your vet was able to help.. save his life hopefully. I have me fingers crossed and the pups all have their toes crossed. Poor little guy..

I want to freakin scream.

The family must be devastated. Of course I will keep Harley and his family in my prayers and thoughts.

Oh that poor poor boy... after all he had been through, and then for a vet to treat him that callously. I hope that he does survive and the family finds out if there is any kind of malpractice suit that can filed on behalf of harley.
