Mink Mink's Inflamed Shoulder
Fixed with Angel Fund Help
O
ne of the first things she
does when she moves to
a new location, Tina Shelton
said, is to find a good veterinary
practice. That's a
priority because she has two
dogs - both older Miniature
Dachshunds - and she knows
they will need medical care.
Tina works in the tech industry. Her
latest move a few months ago was from
New York to the west side of the San Fernando
Valley. She found Southern California
Veterinary Hospital in Woodland
Hills " right around the corner " from her
new home.
She needed help with the younger of
her two dogs, Mink Mink, after the first
of the year when she noticed that he was
favoring a shoulder and limping. At first,
she said, Dr. George Cuellar, chief of staff
at the practice, thought that trimming his
claws might fix the problem.
That didn't work so the hospital did xrays
and some lab work and determined
that the shoulder was inflamed. Dr.
Cuellar prescribed nonsteroidal and pain
medications and a muscle relaxant.
" Their team and their doctors are really
good, " Tina said. " It really helped.
There was quite a difference after just one
day. A week later, Mink Mink was feeling
even better. Now he's back to his usual
rambunctious self, she said. He thinks
he's a Doberman. I have seen significant
improvement and he's walking pretty
normally.
" I am just so pleased with Southern
California Vet. They really helped me.
These little guys have been with me for
about 12 years. They have been so full of
fun and I just hated seeing him [Mink
Mink] in that state. " His older 'brother,'
Doddlebug, is 12 years old and blind.
Tina had lost her job with no separation
payment shortly before she took
Mink Mink to the hospital amid a flurry
of layoffs in the tech industry. " So this
has really been a desperation time. I've
been searching for work and they - the
dogs - have helped put a smile back on
my face. I'm searching every day for work
and I'm praying, " she said.
Dr. Cuellar suggested applying to Angel
Fund to help pay her bill.
" They are amazingly wonderful and
they really, really helped, " Tina said. " I
am so thankful for that. The people at
Southern California Vet explained the
program to me, which is wonderful. I was
really, really thankful that we were able to
get some help. "
Mink Mink " was just a ball of fur when
I got him, she said. " He was like a little
mink pelt. Now he's a world traveler. " Before
moving to the East Coast, she lived
in Hayward, Calif., in the San Francisco
Bay Area. P
There was quite a
difference after just
one day. A week later,
Mink Mink was feeling
even better.
