IVE TOLD HIM TO BRACE HIM SELF FOR THE WORST, I HOPE IAM WRONG, After all the work he's put into training her he will be gutted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chook Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have they not took bloods? or done anything like that. if the dogs not eaten or drank for a couple of days i would have thought they would have kept him in and put him on an iv - as he will be dehydrated now.
