Eww hon she's up not too far from Nashville. I live all the way down in Bartlett (right down the street from Memphis literally.) I don't personally know anyone up in Clarksville, i'm sorry.Originally Posted by Tavia'smom
Well she lives in Clarksville. And I did call the ac I had no choice I think but it tears me up. I feel like I betrayed my mother now.
here's a map for reference (she must live in montgomery county - up in northern tn, and i live in shelby co. down at the very southwest part of the map.) http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/map...essee_map.html
My guess is that their rules are pretty similar to ours around here. They will likely investigate and then make a call from there as to wether they take the animals immediately and fine her/give her a court date or they may give her a certain time frame in which she must comply with their regulations and immediately clean up their environment/provide adequate care and be ready for another inspeciton.
(in a side note- as for that dog that's really skinny- it likely needs to be dewormed with panacure /strongid (if it has fleas/parasites- it's probably not gaining weight because of worms.) It needs a good flea/tick prevenative as well as a proper round of dewormer. In addition to this it needs to be fed 5+ small meals a day- every few hours and the dog will need a supplement like NutriCal added to its food (soft food) to help it gain a bit of healthy weight.) Has this animals been tested for heartworms? I'm afraid if she's neglected it so bad it could be positive- so proper heart worm tests are a must! If the dog is really underweight (i can' see it to examine it's physical condition but it doesn't sound well) - it might need several rounds of iv fluid to build up its electrolytes/fluids that is likely loosing from parasites/etc.) I hope these animals get the help they need soon
