Update Post #15 - Sad News - Meet Samson

We just received this update from Mary Palmer on sweet little Samson. I'm crying as I post this:

" Unfortunately the news about Sam is not what we had hoped. Sam has just about no liver function left. His white cell blood count is through the roof. Because of this surgery is not possible. I am so sad over this, if we could have gotten him sooner perhaps the prognosis might be different. The diarrhea has gone out of control and changing meds has not helped. He is in intensive care at this time. He is so sweet, it is hard to believe that his condition is so serious. The Vets who are over seeing him have consulted with a specialist at the University and provided them with all the new test results we have done. It is farther suspected that there maybe someHydroencepohalitis and perhaps even more going on with this little guy.
Because he was purchased at a pet store it is certain that he came out of a puppy mill, when can we shut down these despicable places and charge the people who run them.
Sam will be kept comfortable for as long as possible, but they believe it is only a matter of a few weeks at the most."
