Well, I've just read all the postings and saw the picture of Hope das Wunderhund and figure the previous owner(s) were aware of the diabetes and that's why they dumped her. Then, again, she could have been lost as I have seen ads in the paper for dogs that needed medication. Who knows? Still, I'm glad you have had the bigness of heart, DogResQ to take her in and help her out. It can be a tremendous inspiration to be around a dog that by all odds ought not to have survived the starvation, let alone the diabetes, eye problems, cancer and now the giardia. I have to admit, I don't know what that is, but from the description of symptoms for Killian, it sounds AWFUL! Have they done liver function tests on her? I take it that since she is scheduled for the eye surgery later this month that they found no problems with her retinas? What else could happen to this poor dog? Your love for her and her response are beautiful to hear about and I am adding my hopes and prayers that she will enjoy recovery in God's Perfect Plan for her life. He placed her in a home that doesn't look upon "challenged" dogs as a problem to be rid of, but to be dealt with and loved no matter what. I am anxiously awaiting further updates. May the Lord Bless you and keep you -- Both of you (and all the tender souls that have posted to this page).
