Answer to "Love My Canine" About Athos and my Handling Abilities - Page 2

This is so simple, so easily solved if you are telling the truth. Why won't you follow through with my requests? If his heart condition is the truth, then have OSU send me his health records on their official stationary. OSU would still have his records from May/June 2010, regardless of where the diagnosing vet may have moved.  Have them give me the number of the diagnosing vet wherever she has moved to, and you call her and give me permission to discuss the diagnosis with her.

It's been 8 months, Vickie. How long does it take to have OSU send me documentation? How long does it take to give me permission to talk to the diagnosing veternarian, regardless of where she lives?
Telephones work all over the world, even here in Alaska.

In fact, if she lives in Alaska, I could possibly go out there and speak to her in person, no matter where she is employed in Alaska. I have Alaska Airline Free Miles.

Why would I want to recieve emails or faxes from the person making the health claim, when OSU surely has a good records department that can follow instructions?

Veronica

Athos was not paid in full. You still owe me for Athos and Vinetta. Should you not be telling me the truth, you owe me much more than what I would owe you, cash-wise, once I sent you Vinetta's registration papers, as you still owe a sizable amount on her.

Steve,  His DOB is July 3, 2001. 

He was diagnosed with the following on June 18, 2010......3 weeks after I received him:
 
Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation due to valvular endocardiosis,
Atrial fibrillation-uncontrolled ventricular response rate, 
Ventricular arrhythmias,
Left-and right-sided congestive heart failure,
Patent ductus arteriosus-small (left-to-right shunting),
Pulmonary hypertension-mild to moderate,
Cardiac cachexia.

He has a grade 4/6 heart murmur.

The OSU vet gave him 6 months to live but through careful watch over his diet and about $350 a month in medications he has beat the 6 months!

He takes the following medications 2x a day:

Furosemide 200mg by mouth every 12 hours
Digoxin 0.125mg by mouth once every 12 hours
Pimobendan 10mg by mouth once every 12 hours
Diltiazem 90mg by mouth once every 12 hours
Spironolactone 75mg by mouth once every 12 hours
Enalapril 20mg by mouth once every 12 hours

On July 31, 2010 his semen was collected and 20cc of semen and seminal fluid was collected and evaluated under a microscope, revealing the sement to have 0% motility with numerous primary and secondary abnormalities.....STERIL, FOLKS!

Vickie

Fine!  I will contact OSU as well as Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists in Jenks and Hect Veterinary in Tulsa and have them mail you his information.  OSU will forward the information quicker than Hect, I am thinking....

I just need you to give me a valid address.

Vickie

This is getting old.  Either have OSU send the records directly to AKVeronica or stop implying you were screwed.  As YellowRose points out, there is no other acceptable way for you to substantiate your allegations.

Donald,,,,,do you NOT see my reply RIGHT above YOURS?

Vickie

No, because I was writing my post as you were apparently posting yours.

But in any event, good.  You should also provide a release so the attending vet who diagnosed and initially treated Athos can speak with Veronica as well.  

Also, here is the break down YOU gave to me, Veronica on the monies........  I have not pressed for them nor have I pressed you for registration papers but I want them mailed to me certified as soon as you get the paperwork from OSU!  Actually, now that I think about it, I think it would be a good idea that I have OSU mail his medical history to the vet on Athos's health certificate as she apparently MISSED a grade 4/6 heart murmur.  She/he will know without a shadown of a doubt that the information is GENUINE!

Also, what do I have to gain by any of this?  Athos is still not able to be bred and now the WORLD knows why.  I would not have bred him anyway after he was diagnosed.  I DO NOT STOOP THAT LOW, THAT IS PLAIN UNETHICAL TO PASS ON THESE GENETIC ISSUES!   

Quote from Veronica:

When I get the vet stuff in, I'll send out Vinetta and Athos paperwork and your check. At least part of the refund will be paid through value given, after which I will still owe you $1850. $4000-$650check and $1500 owed on Vinetta=$1850


Vickie

Yes, Steve.  You're seeing what I'm seeing, and it makes me sick.  I don't know what's going on with you Vicki.....I don't want to believe you'd keep a dog constantly crated......hate those f---ing crates.  You've been portrayed as a monster.....I don't know......We're all reading this.....You've probably took on too much....You've been somewhat played I suspect.....It doesn't look good.....but I'm not a total believer of the accusers.

AND......Come on, Veronica.  You sold a 9 year old dog when, IMO, you should have retired and kept him yourself.  If your health has become extremely debilitating and your family doesn't want to put a dish down or open the door for him to go, then why didn't you just find some jerk like me to take on the cost of an old dog.  He'd be indoors stretched out on a couch right now.  But....get something straight.  I wouldn't be paying you for the privilege of being that fool.  You're a smart lady, Veronica. So am I.

The threads and 'Comment' section peaked a big, fat, 3-minute interest on my part.  Saw Zulma.  7th litter at almost 9 according to the database.  Looks like 2 owners before you. And now she's due to whelp her 8th with yet another owner as per the advertsement here.  She's 3 months shy of being ELEVEN yrs old.  I can't look any further.  It's always the same old same old.  

I would have sent him back too but he was not fit for travel and would not receive a passing health certificate either.  Cindy loves him and he has run of her house...again, I see him, LOVE him and play with him DAILY! 

NONE of my dogs are constantly crated!  I don't know where you got that!  I have NOT ONE dog in a crate unless we are going to training!  Sheesh!
