Earlier this week the shelter veterinarian/tech messed up Pepper’s spay/stitch, and she almost bled out, alone and in her kennel over night. Once the staff realized, they did thankfully take her to the emergency shelter vet at Downey, but then refused to release her to her rescuer for almost 4 days while they treated her with antibiotics and an injection. She lost a major amount of blood, she needed to be released right away so that she could be transfused. That should have been the obvious response. She’s apparently been beyond lethargic, uninterested in food, and the staff were scared that she was going to “die during the car ride.” Well, she didn’t die, and she’s currently undergoing a blood transfusion. Thanks to SOL Foundation, Dr. Jones, and Hemopet for being there for Pepper. Below is a video of the little champion, dug in and ready for her treatment…
