Ch. Primus had a sore tail and we took him to Dr.Saunders and he was surprised when we wanted an X=ray, he had a smasher vertebrae , like he got it caught in a door. Dr. Saudners was surprised and treated him some. After a time it said it would be better if we amputated it, above the injured part so it would have good blood flow. He was already finished and select and we wanted him to be pain free, so we did amputated it and he was like reborn. He had so much pep and vitality, he must have been bothered with it for some time. Lived a normal life and delighted us many years. Betty ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
