From Melissa (Mmiss1@aol.com) on July 6, 2000 ...
I took my pet
Candi, a 10 1/2 year old German Shepherd, to the vet. She has a tumor in her right shoulder that shattered her shoulder bone
and now she can't walk. The vet wants to "make her comfortable" because she has hip displasia and they say she will never
walk on 3 legs if they amputate. I was just wondering, what your thoughts were on any possible hope for a longer quality life?
Or is it beyond treatment now that the leg is shattered? They have her on steroids now for swelling and pain.
From Melissa
on July 7, 2000:
I'm contacting
the vet again this morning because they never said it was a malignant tumor, just a tumor in the shoulder bone. Candi tries
so hard to get up. They gave her prednisone. They said the tumor will likely spread to the lung but if the essiac (a medicine)
stops the spread I thought maybe there was hope.
It is a tough
decision. It just pains me to see her want to get up and play. Her mind and will are so young! The vet was concerned if she
stopped getting up, she would get pneumonia etc., she lays around most of the day but will get up to go outside or eat. I'm
just lost at the best avenue to take. I want her to have the amputation to keep her alive, but I don't want her to suffer
the surgery and recovery if she will be no better off.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Wild Animal Attacks 2 Dogs Near Bremerton
June
24, 2005
By Tracy Vedder
BREMERTON -
A vicious, wild animal attacked two dogs in a rural neighborhood near Bremerton.
The culprit may be an exotic rodent that can devastate the landscape. And now we're learning that the nutria can harm more
than the environment.
"I just had a moment to see these
huge, huge orange-yellow teeth," said Tanya York. It happened three weeks ago, but Tanya York's memory of the attack is still vivid. "I looked down
and here's this huge varmint head ripping through my fence here."
