Update on chocolate podenca Angela
From Bev. Angela’s health is not good, she has kidney failure along with other problems. She’s on a lot of medication to support her kidneys. The only other option is a catheter and dialysis but this is painful and invasive and I have done this before without success. So we are doing the best we can to help her, time will tell.
If I could my hands on the person who did this I think this time I wouldn’t be reserved. On a positive note Angela appears to be in good spirits so we must be hopeful of a good outcome

Chocolate podenca Angela saved!
Update from Bev Farmer, who saved Angela from being killed last week.
Angela had a good first night her blood tests confirm she is positive for ehrlichria but negative for Leishmania, filaria and babesia. She has a severe ear infection, and this has caused irreparable damage to one of her ears. Angela weighs 13 kilos and should be about 20 kilos the photos don’t really reflect how thin she is. She has longer hair but when I bathed her last night I could feel every individual rib and vertebra in her back.
