I'm really surprised the shelter isn't paying for better vet care. The vet should be offering them a discount and a payment plan. My dogs eat Blue Buffalo brand dog food, which is super nutritious and may help heal your Lucy, too. If her skin is flaky, add cooked egg to her diet. It will really help her skin. She looks like she's part flat coated retriever but I wouldn't rule out black Lab, either. <br /><br />All of my dogs are mutts. My Lucy is a beagle/lab/basset mix. She's the low rider of the Lab world. I also have a beagle/golden retriever/?? mix and a doxie/corgi mix that's built like a tank. Good luck!

I hope you are feeling better today. {{HUGS}}<br />That is too bad about the rescue groups response to Lucy's care. I certainly hope some kind of resolution can be reached.<br />Hill Hollow Farm sounds like my kinda place! I really respect what they are doing! On a separate note, there is a show on GAC (channel 326 on DIRECTV) called Farm Kings about a family in PA who are running a market farm to include Farmers Markets, a store, a CSA and now growing cattle, pigs and chickens. I have gotten hooked!

That's just irresponsible IMO....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-3756557542918972772014-01-19T20:46:45.303-05:002014-01-19T20:46:45.303-05:00I'm so sorry to hear you've been sick.

A clove or two of raw garlic whirred up in the blender with tomato juice and a teaspoon of ginger (for the tummy) once or twice a day really seems to do the trick. <br /><br />Lucy sounds like a really good dog. I hope she's healthy again soon.

You need to be spanked and put to bed for a week, young lady! (If only Scrappy could step up to the plate and take care of you for that period, eh?)<br /><br />I'm sure the rescue agency is not rolling in $$, but doggone it, seems they should be able/willing to take better care of their dogs. Wish the long trip to and from the vet's had been more rewarding.<br /><br />If you could possibly stay home from work this coming week, you'd get better a LOT faster. Because of all your responsibilities, you need to give your body a chance to recover fully don't you don't end up in a compromised state for the rest of the winter. Because of your responsible nature, though, you most likely feel you have to go into work. :o( I sure would help out if we lived close.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-51594104678970824322014-01-19T11:42:42.142-05:002014-01-19T11:42:42.142-05:00You poor dear!

Ralph let the Dr convince hi he should have a flu shot and then we both got sick within 5 days [incubation period?] We must have got our shoes from the same shoe store!<br /><br />I am surprised at the Rescue people not wanting to get poor Lucy on the way to healing. Delay is not good in this kind of health situation! You obviously know that, odd they are not moving quickly? Anyway I am drinking tea laced with honey and my biggest feeling sick sin a shot of brandy. Take care of yourself and get better!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.com
