[PyrNet-L] Fw: Update on the Three Legged Pyr

["Geraldine Swierzy" <sheepriverpyrs@email.msn.com>]

>  I spoke to my vet friend tonight  - and "Stephie" is recovering well from
>her spay surgery, which was done today. She also went deep into the foot
and
>extracted as much infected material as she could - and then put it in a
cast
>[with a designer hole for her dew claw!!] - so that the pressure of putting
>weight on that limb would not open up the wound, as had been happening. She
>is prepared to keep her for another two weeks [I told her that she is
>falling under the pyrenean spell!] - until she can remove the cast to see
>what is happening, before she makes the final decision as to amputating the
>leg. So at least for now the pressure is off.  Apparantly she is such a
>sweet natured girl - and upon recovering from the anaesthesia, spent the
>afternoon *leaning* on my friend's clients at the clinic - looking for
>attention.

>>Geraldine,  have you gotten any interest in this young girl? I could
>>work on things from here (Central Ontario) but that would mean incurring
>>the cost of flying her out here.  I could probably foster her until
>>something was found, although I do have three pyrs in the house right
>>now. <g>  I've got some woman from Florida bugging me about this little
>>girl and the importance of finding her a home.

>>Also, is there a pyr rescue network in Calgary?  There is a pyr/newf
>>cross in the pound there....based on the description, I think it could
>>be a landseer.  Is there someone I could contact to check it out?  I
>>love long distance rescue.
