HAMLET (named by one of our Las Vegas volunteers) was a dear sweet stray found
wandering in the vast desert of Las Vegas, NV.
He was pulled from the shelter, altered, given medical attention
and shots, groomed and then transported to a California foster
home and ultimately his 'forever home'.
He was lovingly cared for by several of our
dedicated volunteers, two rescue friendly Veterinarians and was given the best care
available. His 'forever' home was not meant to be, unfortunately he was diagnosed with
the symptoms of Distemper.
When he began exhibiting signs of health issues at one of our foster volunteer's,
he was transferred into the care of another VERY DEDICATED volunteer who actually
set up a quarantine hospital area in her personal home to provide round the clock
care, fluid hydration and antibiotics.
Because Distemper can not be accurately
diagnosed until death, he was treated for medically for a wide spectrum of illnesses.
He actually was hand fed by our foster volunteer every 4 hours.
Distemper is contagious,
so surgical attire was worn every time our volunteer entered the quarantined area.
Unfortunately, even with this most dedicated care, we were unable to prevent his
journey to The Rainbow Bridge.
His free spirit touched many while in the care of
Westie Rescue of CA. His little sole is at peace now. We are certain he is playing
blissfully with his squeaky toy. Bless him and those who lovingly gave their time,
energy and dedicated love.
