A basset needed to be picked up yesterday and was by my brother in my dodge van.. Well yesterday wasn't a great day to be out but I had little else I could do it was about 11:30 when he left.. This should have taken 3 hours round trip. .. and so still unable to drive or walk for that matter I handed him the keys and the Mapquest directions and off he went.. <br />
<br />
.. Well at around 6:30 I get a call from him asking me to call 911 he was in the ditch and hurt.. I called for him and called him back.. Oh Helen the van every window blew out.. I asked how is the dog.. he said shook up but also limping.. finally the OPP and ambulance and tow truck arrived.. the OPP took the dog to the vet in Hawksbury Jim was taken to the Hawksbury hospital.. Well Jim is badly bruised with fractured ribs.. I went to see the van today.. it's a write-off.. I only had one way insurance so I am basically SOL.. <br />
<br />
.. Yup always exciting at BHRQ<br />

<b>A last entry for Bailey's foster diary.<br />
<br />
Monday my foster Mom just installed dogwatch fencing at her new home in Gananoque. Inspite of my challenges she had arranged to keep me while spending half time in Ottawa and half in Kingston/Gananoque. Unfortunately I won't be using that yard. I passed peacefully in Sherry's arms earlier today. After returning Friday's breakfast I stopped eating and x-rays showed a large quantity of liquid in my abdominal cavity that was largely blood with a very low white cell count.<br />
<br />
Perhaps when Sherry has had a chance to morn my passing some other needy dog will get to use my yard.<br />

<br />
Hi Basseteers..<br />
<br />
We thought of doing a HOWL-O-WEEN Party for the dogs on October 24th.. 1:00-5:00 at the Beaurepaire United Church in Beaconsfield... We have had a volunteer step up to do doggy loot bags.. another dessert.. another suggested to do a potluck for us.. Where everyone can bring something goolishly delightful.. wink... It can be with costumes.. both dog and slave..<br />
<br />
# Bow-Wow Buffet: Waddle your Basset over to the Bow-Wow Buffet where you'll find a dazzling array of doggie treats that will tempt even the most finicky Basset!<br />
# Howliday Hat or Costume Contest: Break out your hound's Howliday finest and let them strut their stuff!! Lotsa good stuff at the Dollar stores or Value Villages..<br />
<br />
Pot-Luck Buffet For Us: Bring your favorite dish for the Pot-Luck Buffet. (Please let us know what you would like to bring so we don't have too many duplicates.) The wider the variety and amazing dishes would be well received.. You won't go home hungry (and neither will the Bassets)!<br />
<br />
<br />
Howliday Raffle: A variety of hound and howliday items to take a chance on - that is always great fun.<br />
Silent Auction...<br />
<br />
Let me know ASAP.. So I'll have numbers.. bhrq@bassethoundrescuequebec.com<br />

As I suspected Balou's left leg is a mess.. thanks to those back yard breeders that have NO clue what they are doing.. they just want to make a buck..<br />
<br />

<br />
The report on him read like this.. <br />
<br />
1. Balou was presented at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at St-Hyacinthe to evaluate a deformation of the left front paw.<br />
<br />
- Angular limb deformity. Radius curvus of both front legs more severe on the left side with deviation of the paw 90 to 120 degrees laterally<br />
<br />
2. X-RAYS: (preliminary report) <br />
<br />
- Lateral and cranio-caudal views were taken from the right and left forelimbs..<br />
<br />
- In the leftt elbow joint slight arthritic changes are present with a marked incongruence between radius and ulna (7 mm).Severe angular deformity (valgus) of left forelimb.<br />
<br />
DIAGNOSIS<br />
<br />
Bilateral radius curvus more severe on the left limb due to the premature closure of the distal growth physis. Slight ostheoarthrosis in the left elbow joint.<br />
<br />
Grade 2 bilateral lateral patellar luxation<br />
<br />
SURGICAL TREATEMENT<br />
<br />
Surgery: We had different possibilities to correct this kind of deformities. The objective of the surgery was to correct angular, rotational, and length abnormalities as well as re-establishing elbow congruity.<br />

Now how sad is this.. he's about a year old and will have to undergo all this surgery which will include shortening the bones in his leg as well the joint.. he will be plated and screwed .. then weeks of adjustments visavie tightening the screws trying to straighten it.. re-bandaging antibiotics +++ to the tune of $3000.00 when all is done.. I will do another Chip-In for Balou in the hopes of raising some funds .. </b>BHRQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214840466004015116noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474368340176487937.post-31621082380970172322010-09-24T16:53:00.000-07:002010-09-24T16:53:44.115-07:00Jill The Puppy Mill Survivor<b>..
