Some people who read but don't belong to the forum have their knickers in a tight little twist over this post.
.
So to reassure them -- I would like for their sake, to emphasise that this offer is made from someone in the US and the given case(s) will of course be assessed by the vet who can donate meds on the basis of an existing appropriate prescription wherever he or she bloody well pleases.
As far as I am concerned this is a PRIVATE matter ... I only wish I had seen similar concern raised by this person about, say, their club breeder friends not using cardiologists and not following the MVD protocol, for example! No have I seen any effort from this same person to highlight any concern about those latest figures from club cardiologist Simon Swift on the Club webpage that note
lower numbers had their cavaliers tested at this year's championship show last time around than in the past, or that the bulk were under ages 3, with only a measly
12 cavaliers over aged 5 tested for murmurs -- 12! Though this is an age group he has long recommended would supply some of the most important information back to their breeders...and has repeatedly encouraged breeders to test. Guess breeders prefer to bring along those younger dogs tested that are almost certainly going to be murmur free...
Surely things which can affect generations of cavaliers and overall breed health, are a more important for this person's 'concern' than a vet offering kindly to help relieve the suffering of cavaliers belonging to people who have a tough time affording the expensive medications needed for the pain of this condition? That condition which so few breeders seem to think they need to use any breeding guidelines to try to minimise, even when 555 cavaliers very clearly highlight the difference using breeding protocols makes? :sl*p:
Priorities, priorities, I guess!
Anyone who wishes to get in contact with Nanette and her vet to discuss this offer may do so
privately by PM.
This is a private and personal arrangement that I am sure will follow whatever legal arrangement is required in the US.
It is NOT illegal to mail prescription medications abroad unless the substances are controlled.
