Veronica Goddard and Whisper - 10 years of pain
THIS IS AN ANCIENT REVIEW; IT'S ONLY NOW THAT I FEEL ABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
In 2013, my rescued Shih-tzu, Whisper (named because he whispered to my soul) when running over the road outside home, misjudged his jump up the kerb and crashed down on his ribcage. He was in some discomfort, so I took him to our local, regular vet. He was prescribed a special diet, as the vet thought it was his liver at risk, but after a few days of treatment with regular visits to the vet, he showed no improvement - in fact he worsened and he was referred by our vet to Dovecote for X-rays and assessment, requiring an overnight stay. I rang the following day for a report and was told he would need to stay in for a few days. I wasn't told that I could visit him, but I rang everyday. On the 3rd day, I spoke to a receptionist and begged to see him. She told me that of course I could visit, that the vet should have made that clear. When I saw him with his head turned to the corner of his 'cage', pining for me, it broke my heart. As soon as he heard my voice he perked up and I cuddled him until it was closing time. Each day I drove to visit him, distance no object. The head vet saw me on the 5th day and said I could take him home, but said with contempt and ultimate cruelty, that he wouldn't last the week! There had never been any hope of recovery, he had been kept there on purpose to deny me his last days. I firmly believe that he thought I had deliberately hurt him, My Wizzy was the love of my life and to this day I mourn him. I would NEVER recommend this practice.
