A Wagging Tail

Scarlett is amazing. When I last saw her, I was not sure she wanted to be alive. She seemed to have lost all hope. So thin, so empty.

Scarlett has some serious mammary lumps. One was biopsied with her spay. The area became badly infected due to the mastitis in the glands. And there was uncontrolled bleeding. After the biopsy results came back that determined that her lumps were not metastatic, English Setter Rescue agreed to the needed surgery to clean out the infected area and try to stop the bleeding.

Even after surgery, her prognosis was guarded. But the antibiotics took hold. And Scarlett sprang back. Her foster Mom, Carol, has been tremendously dedicated to Scarlett's care. It has taken a great deal of effort to help Scarlett - but she is now on the road to better health.

There is an English Setter Rescue foster home waiting for her, and she has now been cleared to travel in a week. We are very proud of our leaping, tail-wagging Setter!
