Opal was so filthy I could not imagine it was comfortable for her. So I got in the shower with her and we had a wonderful bath time. She was so good! After I gently dried her under the watchful care of Bubba and Gizzy, out came a new dog. She's BEAUTIFUL. Can't find my camera or I'd show you. Even her mouth cleaned up pretty nicely. The tumor is huge, larger than a golf ball but I've read they are often benign. Pray for her. She is now sleeping in a fake fur lined bed on my bed with Gizzy and Bubba flanking the sides. She is going to make someone a very lucky person when she's ready. I love her already!
I tried canned dog food. She had no idea what to do, even when I tried to feed by hand. I made some boneless chicken breasts and offered those just now. First she was confused because I tried hand feeding her. Gizzy and Bubba showed her how to take it. Now she's so excited and keeps running between the kitchen and me hoping for more. I'll give them a bedtime snack later. Such a sweet girl!
I am now back to fostering for Green Bay Animal Rescue. They are a great organization. See more about them at their website http://greenbayanimalrescue.weebly.com/ or LIKE them on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Green-Bay-Animal-Rescue/
What I thought were stains inside her ears, on further inspection, turned out to be identification number tattoos. A couple dogs I got earlier had very tight heavy chains with FDA #'s around their necks. Often these get embedded in their skin. Either way, it's barbarian.
