We won’t give up …


by: Terry on Fri, Jun 15 2007

Shasta is our 4 month old GSD adopted from our local Humane Society. She was wonderful at the shelter, full of life. Then we brought her home and she has steadily gone down hill. She has been diganosed with Parvo, Kennel Cough and now Distemper She is being treated by our vet, antibodics and IV therapy. She has less that a 50-50 chance but we won’t give up as long as she doesn’t!

She currently is experiencing muscle spasms, both eyes are infected, she manages to eat two or three bites and that’s it. She drinks enough to get her throat wet. Please pray for her .. she has a heart of gold.
