I am sure all of you remember Lady's baby, Harley. He was adopted out to a great family in Oak Forest, IL. Harley is in touble. He ate a doll of their daughters and got into some stuff outside and had to have surgery. The family went to three different vets, all wanted $2500 and $3700, the family just could not pay that. They finally went to Animal welfare League. At first they wanted Al (the owner) to sign Harley over to them, they'd do the surgery, and adopt him out. He said absolutely not! So they said they would do the surgery for $400, so Al agreed. The surgery was done on Tuesday morning and he seemed to be doing okay. They removed plastic (from a doll), tin foil, and grass clippings as well as 2 1/2 ft of his small intestine. Yesterday they fed him and he threw up, his stomach was all bloated. The doctor was unreachable by Al so he went up there to see him today. He asked the nurse what she thought, if they should euthanize him to end his suffering. She said she wouldn't if he was hers. They left, 20 mins later the vet calls him and said Harley was dying and the best thing would be to put him down. He called me, I told him to take his dog out of there and bring him to my vet. He did and my vet said she needs to go back in and see what is going on and try to fix him internally, because nothing can be done externally. Al agreed, knowing he would die without help and that he may die on the table. I just spoke to Al's wife, Lisa. The vet assistant called her in the middle of surgery to give her news. Upon opening Harley up the vet found urine and feces oozing out of him, his bowels were cut open. His small intestine was not sutured properly and it was erupting. Dr. Greeley resutured everything and is now closing him up. He was still alive at that time. Dr. Greeley will call Lisa and Al in about an hour with the final results. This poor boy was butchered by the AWL Vet, Dr. Greeley confirmed that.
Please pray for Harley. He is only 11 months old and so full of life. Please pray and ask Lady to let her son stay here with the Gustafsin family. They love him so much. Thank you all so much.
