RIP Sweet Diva

For the past month Diva has been sick… throwing up … diharrea .. not as active pretty much just laying around mostly on my bed. Anyone who knows Diva knows she is a hyper dog who loves attention.. she greeted everyone at the door with kisses. We knew something was wrong so we took her to the “Trusted” vet Dr. Nolte … Mike wanted to take her there because he said thats where is momma took his dog Samantha ..so thats where we took her.. He said that it looked like she ate something other than food and it was stuck .. so he gave her two shots and gave me a bottle of antibotics to give her to control the high fever she had and hopefully that would help her pass whatever it was she supposedly ate. well after a week of meds and her not eating at all anymore and barely drinking anything , we took her back . He took some xrays and blood work. the xray (from what he says) said that she had a large mass the size of a baseball stuck in her small intesine and the blood work said she had an infection . She was soo skinny , she had lost at least 30lbs. she could barely get up on my bed anymore and everytime she went to get down she yelped. So Nolte said she needed surgery to drop her off wed morning and he would call us around 2pm. We dropped her off and he called at 2 and said that there was nothing he could do that she had a large tumur on her small intestine that we needed to come get her. ( I thought it was a little weird that we would have to come get her the same day she had exploritory surgery… I thought she would of needed care after the surgery) So when we got there to pick Diva up… Mike went in while I sat in the truck with the kids. Then this woman comes walking around the back side of the building .. i figure she was just walking one of the dogs .. and I was right she was.. I didn’t see the dog .. but Kamryn did .. She yelled out Mommy why is Diva bleeding .. why is there blood all over her??? whats that stuff coming out of her belly! I was like what?! This woman took Diva from the building walked her out the back door … sprayed her with a hose to get all the blood off of her and then made Diva (who just had major surgery) walk around the building! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Nolte didnt even wrap the entire inscision up .. they stuff that Kamryn asked what it was.. was some of her insides falling out in between the few stiches she had .. from where he didnt wrap her up all the way! We loaded her up in the truck and called another vets office and they told us to take her straight to the Pets ER .. That after surgery like that she needed to be medically cared for over the next 24 hours. That he should of never sent her home! I knew I was right! Then I realized why Dr. Nolte wanted the tech to take Diva out back and spray her down .. Im sure he didnt want to walk her thru his office out to where Mike was waiting for her because then all the other people in his office would see what he had done to Diva!! I wish we would of took her back in there for all of them to see! So once we got to the pets ER and explain what all had been going on .. They explained all of our options … We could of had them open her back up to make sure in fact it was a tumur and if it was they would take it out depending on the size of it and how much of the small intestine they would have to take out. She told us that we would have to pay 1200 down and after she opens her up and if it is a tumur .. the price to remove it depending on the size and all that it could of been up to 2 grand … and thats not including if she needs a blood transfusion … witch they said she probably would because Nolte hadn’t closed her up right and blood was everywhere all over my truck .. the side walk where we had been waiting for the pets er to open inside the office … it was bad. So since we don’t have money like that We were left with no choice but to put her down.. It was probably one of the hardest decisions for me… exspecially since I watched her be born in my kitchen almost 3 years ago…I’ll never forget it … it was really cold.. December 7th 2005. She was the only white one of the liter of 6 .. she was the only one who didnt yelp when she was picked up .. she would just lay there with you with no worries. as she got bigger she was the only pup who didnt constantly bark! So we explained to the kids (who I would of found a sitter for if I had any idea it would of been like that!) that Diva was really sick and had to go to doggy heaven… they both cried and said they didn’t want Diva to go with Poppop in heaven , that they missed her and wanted to take her home. It was really hard.. we all were in tears! I took the kids out to the truck and Mike stayed with Diva thru it all! I couldn’t do it! So we took Diva to my dads house and buried her and cried some more. It was the most horrific thing I ever had to see and go thru !

We are going to file a complaint against Nolte… We were told that he already has 6 lawsuits against him! After talking to a few friends they all said why did you take her there.. hes known to be a butcher.. And he sure did butcher Diva ! Someone should really take his license!!! And can you believe he takes care of the zoo’s animals???
