Rescuer: Elizabeth Dukesherer-Faery Tails Corgi R at information@corgirescuestlouis.org
Owner turned into shelter, we were
contacted by shelter volunteer to accept dog into our
program.
Feather is gentle and appropriate with animals and
people. She has a lovely disposition, and an
impish personality!
Feather came to us in such very poor condition that we
felt she needed to be assessed right away before
transporting her to St. Louis - our volunteer in
Springfield MO was able to have her own vet examine
her and start needed care immediately. She then came
to St. Louis for further vet care and addressing medical
needs. She presented with large mammary tumors
which we were concerned could be cancerous, tooth
and gum disease, bloody vaginal discharge, ears dirty
and infected, whipworms, heartworms, was vomiting
and had loose stools. She was filthy.
Histopathology report on mammary tumors is positive
for adeno carcinoma. Dr. Pletz has consulted
veterinarian Dr. Mike Buss who specializes in cancer
treatments - we are awaiting his prognosis and
recomendations.
Chest radiographs show heart/vessels consistent with
heart worm load.
Poor Feather was surely a mess when she came into rescue!
The kindness of CorgiAid supporters has helped her begin
down the path to renewed health. Her tumors have been
removed, she is clean, she is safe. We will continue to watch
over Feather as it is determined what other care she may
need.
This dog is available for adoption. Please contact Elizabeth Dukesherer-Faery Tails Corgi R at information@corgirescuestlouis.org for more information.
