If that was to happen to one of my animals (I have 3 cats and a ferret myself), I would immediately call the city and Animal Services since this is considered animal cruelty. Even an animal shelter can help. Just tell them what happened and something will be done. I hope your little shit-zu does well. I had one myself when I was a child, but she passed away due to a bad seizure. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Kat Angel [Posted in FML issue 4433]
