wHAT A SAD STORY; IS ANYTHING BEING DONE TO THE DEALER, LIKE MAYBE CASTRATION!! Morgan Lewis, RPh. Member GSDCA President Last Hope of Georgia 501c3 "So Much to Do, So Little Time" From: Kathy Tank <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx> To: destinogs1@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: InquestGSD@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 11:03 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: The Tanks Mary and Ileana, that is so extraordinarily kind of you both, you make me cry. This lovely little bitch was the victim of a dog dealer in the European Union. She was born with the genetic condition of entropion, in all four eyelids. After her sale, then disappearance, a dear friend of ours , Piermarco Cosentini, put pressure on the international community to find her. The dog dealer finally bent under the immense pressure, and divulged her whereabouts, claiming there was nothing wrong with her..ugh. (He routinely ships sick animals ) For anyone that has ever had an eyelash in their eyes, can you imagine having ALL of them in your eyes, awake or asleep....from birth? Anyway, long story , shorter...she was rescued very quickly, very quietly, from an agent of this broker, so as not to tip him off. Because we have probably the #1 surgeon in the country for entropion, right here, it was decided she would come here. He is also our own vet, and marvelous man..Dr. Butchko. When we picked her up her eyes were glued with mass of green gunk stuck to her lids, and she could not see. Her eyes (the worst case imaginable and VERY RARE in GSDs, anyway) have been repaired. She looks a bit like Tammy Faye Baker with the long 13 stitches in each eye, lol. But.... SHE CAN SEE!!!! There is some corneal scarring, but she can see, and the whole world is an amazement to her. Later when she is better, she will be spayed, as this condition is highly inheritable. You can find her on Facebook, with her own group Nixie vd Sequoia Gigantea, Cinderella Story <http://www.facebook.com/groups/251445771545833/> She is a remarkable dog, and we are honored to have her with us. More remarkable is the entire WORLD of people that have cheered for and supported her from the very start, when her sad story came to light. The German Shepherd fancy, never ceases to amaze us.
