Thanks HonBun, Im heading out for awhile but please check back later as i have some new pics of Pearl to add that i took this afternoon :)

Thanks Bullbreedlover! I will discuss this further with the vet and with my co ordinators of our rescue and make sure the right descion is made for Pearl. I adopted my Aussie Lulu from the pound in November 2010 and 3 months later her cruciate ligament snapped?? ( is that the right word )? and she was 7 when this happened. I had her surgery done and after that she had 8 weeks of physio that i did myself and she done really well. Lulu will be 8 next month and her leg is great she runs and chases the ball does everything well like she did before her op. If the vet thinks that Pearl will recover like Lulu did and can lead a great life im all for it!

I did email my vet pics The vet has told me this tonight He has said we CAN have implants put in to secure?? her knee so it dosen't deteriorate as quickly ( i think thats what the reason was )so we are looking at getting that done. I will get some photo's tomorrow

Well said. Thank you Erny I hope and pray that things can get fixed. Kelscats, if you need $ to help with vet fees please call out. I will be honoured to contribute a little. There may be others willing to help. DOL is a mighty and wonderful community! Thanks HonBun, i have an email from my vet that i have just recieved and have posted it below. A donation would be wonderful if you would like to donate please email me for the DCH bank account details on [email protected] Thanks HonBun its muchly appreciated Dear Kelly Re Pearl: Female entire bull dog: Problem list: Chronic unmanaged skin infection: Pyoderma Bilateral untreated aural heamatomas. Chronic ear infection. Right cruciate rupture untreated leading to arthritic changes in the right stifle. Open draining pyometra ( cystic endometritis, or infected uterus) - likely to have been made worse with use of steroid with no antibiotic cover. pendulous vagina due to slack ligaments - likely due to numerous pregnancies.

Nina, PLEASE DON'T FEEL BAD YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEEL BAD ABOUT! If it wasn't for you god knows what would have happened to Pearl and i can assure you she would have NEVER seen a vet at all if she was still where she was. Your vet did prescribe the Cephelaxin but it was only for a week and that's not long enough to get into her system properly and treat the infected allergy. The little yellow - greeny tablets were anti histamines. Its in no way your fault and i hope i haven't offended you with my post of Pearls finding's at the vet. I want you to know that you have saved her life really because now she will spend the next few weeks getting better and then she will find the perfect forever home, someone that will love and treat her like she deserves. THANK YOU CARLO11 FROM ME AND DEFINATLY FROM PEARL

Pearl is at the vets at the momment and is staying overnight i will get some pics tomorrow when she gets home. I have not long gotten off the phone to the vet and he said she has had her bath and is having a snooze now :) He confirmed that she has an inflamed and infected uterus but he said it's self draining and that's what the mucus is coming from her vagina. He has also just told me that Pearl has a bad knee and it crunches ( i think he means he can feel it when he moves it up and down ) so he will let us know if she needs surgery or not tomorrow apparently this is something that she would have had most of her life. I will keep everyone updated.

Hi All, Pearl has been to my vet and he was horrified by her. She has a prolapsed Vagina Has an attachement to her Vagina that the vet needs to find out what it is. No K9 Teeth ( she does have little stumps where her K9's should be ). He thinks that her Uterus may be infected and that it could turn septic. He called her a Dermalogitical Nightmare! She is being bathed today at the vets and is getting a ultrasound probe to find out if she has uterus issues. She will then be on anti biotics for at least 6 weeks to fix her skin. The tablets she was on were anti histamines which aren't they type she should be on for her skin condition. Please keep your fingers x for Pearl she is a beautiful dog and has such a lovely and calm nature. Big Thanks to Carlo11 for all the time and effort put into rescuing Pearl from her horrid home and giving her the oppitunity to have a great life!

Her skin is slowly improving but she does need a trip to my vet on Monday just to see how its all going. Il post on here after i take her and let everyone know what the vet says :)

Yes she is always smiling! Nothing better than a Bulldog Smile!

SOME MORE SHOTS OF PEARL WITH MY AUSSIE BULLDOG LULU ( From Hawkesbury Pound )

HI ALL, Here are some updated pics of Pearl, she is such a happy girl she loves playing ball and running around although in true bulldog form can't run around for long! We had her out this afternoon playing a game of ball with her and my other bulldog the 2 smaller dogs just though it would be a good idea to hang in the background :laugh: I must apoligise for the long feral grass in some of the shots we have had 2 weeks of non stop rain here and today was the 1st day of sunshine! we got some mowing done but its to much to mow all at once ;) I hope you all enjoy the pics of Pearl!

oh yes and i also have a love for sticks! :love:

Hi All, Here are some pics of the Lovely and Sweet Pearl. She has settled in here well and is so great with my other dogs! Here are some pics of her today with a football that has been under my house for sooo long! Pearl seen it ran under the house and bought it out, she LOVES balls and is VERY ball foucsed gee she is such a nice girl!

Pearl arrived at about 9pm and the meet and greet with my dogs went really really well. I have rather a funny mix at the momment of course my own 2 dogs Lulu the Bulldog, Squidy the well who know's he's 10kg of something :laugh: and a tiny little 3kg Pom ( foster ). Pearl likes all of them but she did try and eat my cats so will need to work on that with her! Im just assumming that she has never met cats before but that's ok we will get her aquainted! Big Thanks to carlo11 for her care and love for Pearl over the last few weeks i will of course keep you updated and upload some pics shortly!

I will definatly keep you all updated on Pearl i will get some pics of her tomorrow and pop them up. She will be so loved here and we can't wait to meet her! The taxi ( my sister ) has left and is on her way!

Thanks Clyde, my sister is picking up Pearl tomorrow and i for one can't wait to get my hands on her! She is just lovely and im sure she will be very happy here with us until she is ready to be rehomed!

Pound Rounds are usually so quick to comment on everything but i notice they havent said anything. What a disgrace when is this madness going to end?

Ah.. presumably the "PoundList" watermarked onto each photo is actually just dust or some lens flare then.. :rofl:

* Loyal * Loves People * Good Guard Dog * Low exercise requiments * Medium sized and of course * Slobers * Snores * Lazy * Easy to handle I get all of those things out of my Aussie Bulldog Lulu that i adopted from the pound 12 mths ago. Love her to Bits!

Scarlet, I think that all Collie Roughs are beautiful gently souls What about Keelie Judy
