Loraine Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 So sad for that poor family - donation sent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks guys - The vet has been great and so has everyone who has donated. We have enough now to cover her vetting so the people who donated via Carrie have said its O.K us to use their donations to give her a bit of a kick start on christmas and be sure Missy has food and everything else she needs while the family gets back on their feet. Thank you so very much. I think the owner is crying tears of happiness now almost as much as she was crying tears in desperation 2 days ago.

I was one of the people who phoned the vet surgery to donate & would be very happy for any of my donation to be used in this way. I'm glad that all Missy's needs have been covered. And that the family now have a better Christmas to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - we may need a hand so Il yell if we need you. Reports from the owner this morning are that Missy is coping O.K. but seems a bit worried about the kids beingtoo close yet.[if I had my leg cut off I dont think I would want a 3 year old and 5 year old coming within a mile of me either] She slept on the owners bed and snuggled down under the blankets safe and sound.

That's good news, I'm sure the children will learn very quickly to be gentle. I don't care what my donation is used for, so long as helps Missty and her family ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrie Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Sorry for the slow update. Here are some pictures of beautiful little Misty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 NEXT PROBLEM. The owner had knew reconstruction surgery done on monday and is not very mobile and is un able to drive for the next month. Missty needed a follow up post op exam on Monday too but the owner has been out of action - we have asked the vet for a home visit with a promise of paying but the owner has been told vets dont do these home visits - so we need someone to pick the owner and the dog up and take them to the vet for the post op check. Any FEMALE in the Acacia Ridge area interested ? And the owner is pretty desperate for cutlery and crockery, linen pots pans etc. Miss beligerant has agreed to be our drop off point and deliver any donations to her for us if anyone has any of these sort of items they dont need.

Loving my Oldies Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Oh, I wish I could help. I am a free agent, but that's no help. Missty is a gorgeous looking little girl - glad it is the back leg; once she is healed shouldn't be a problem at all. All the best for this family.

carrie Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Wow sorry I've been out of touch for a week or so, I've been so ridiculously busy it's not funny (technically I work as a youth worker these days, I just do vet nursing as a locum on the side, but lately I've been doing 4-6 days locum work and 2-3 days youth work so I am a bit flat out!) There was a misunderstanding earlier in the week about housecalls and what not, I think Missty's owner got told the clinic didn't do housecalls when the message really was we wouldn't normally do a housecall for a suture removal unless there was a special circumstance and the vet didn't realise that she'd just had surgery! So as soon as I told him, we decided to ring her and offer a housecall and lo and behold, Misty's family walked in the door! They got a lift somehow, so all is well! Sorry I didn't see this post earlier! The staples are out and Misty is healing fantastically well! She is not just walking wonderfully but infact RUNNING! Steve, if you could PM or email me a list of things that Misty's owner needs. I think that through my other job I will have no problems getting some donations of goods. Sorry I've been slow to contact you back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been great work by the vet work. Misty sure is a cutie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry just to clarify because it sounds a bit daft, the vet wasn't told that Misty's owner had just had surgery. It almost sounded like I was saying he didn't realise the dog had surgery, but of course Misty had, but also her owner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 We went after transport for her and organised for some extra help. Ive left a couple of messages for you Carrie and tried emailing too so went ahead without you. last tiem I spoke with the owners she still needed some basic household items.
