Tails From The Squad
June 2012


Greetings!   

   

 We are always talking about our adopters, our fosters and our volunteers.   But the team behind the scenes, the team that supports us without asking for any credit is our veterinarians and the support staff at Ber Mar Hospital.   Without them....we wouldn't have been able to help these dogs.......

 

 

 

 Nikki  

 

Nikki and her sisters came to us with a raging case of parvo.  It was a very stressful two weeks, but the pups pulled through 

 

 

Jeffrey, Alexico and Clooney 

 

 

The three mangiest dogs we had ever seen.    Look at these happy, furry dogs (OK, Alexico IS better now).   It's no wonder Ber Mar has come to be known as the Mange Docs.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ilene, Gnocchi and Nena

All these gals were born with leg deformities which would have caused most people to despair.     


  


 

           

 

 

It's never easy making decisions about big dogs with deformed limbs.   But the Ber Mar staff make the decisions we do make so painless by teaching us, being patient with us and ultimately, standing by us when a decision is made.

 

 

 Mouse

   

She's so small and the task seemed so easy.   Get her dislocated hip back into its socket.    HA!    It took Dr. Antoun and Chris a good two hours of tugging and pulling and Xraying to get Mouse put back together again.    Neither of them went to the gym that night.   Mouse had exhausted them. 

 

   

 

Mumford 

 

 This little guy is still a puzzle.    All our vets could do was encourage us to keep him stimulated and keep watching him.   He's still a puzzle but his adopters are pleased with his progress.      

 

 

 

 

And my personal favorite...Pat

Born with a condition known as hypospadia, as well as a Grade 5 heart murmur, Pat didn't stand much of a chance.   
His cardiologist gave him 6 months.   Ber Mar gave him meds and special food and Pat just had his 6 year old birthday party.
 

 

 

 These are just a small portion of the dogs that have passed through the waiting room at Ber Mar.    They don't give up, they don't tell us we are crazy to do what we do AND where else could you find your Vet Tech snuggling with a tiger in the O.R.
