Just talked to the vet..his lungs are improved..he is actually breathing almost normal ..they really pumped him with steriods and antihistamines...and he has really perked up...they have him for observation...and to determine the next most imporatant step to health..we will go get him again sometime today....
....I know that Cody gave blood money to the owner..but that same monies will be the beginning of this owners end...and in the long run save the dogs that he has now that are surely in the same condition.....the 38 females that are expected to arrive shortly..and expected to bred at least 3-4 times a year each(not my words)...and the boxes of puppies that would surely follow....if anyone who donated to Cody's cause is now having second thoughts or angered ... email me or post..and I will do my best to pay you back as soon as my paydays trickle in...
...If paying monies for Cody is the end to this one breeders demise..and I know there are so many...then I think it was well placed...
Cody is better today..but had he turned for the worse...I would hope that even in his leaving...ending this mans reign of cruel and unspeakable 'business' habits in Codys memory would be a megaphone message to not only this owner but to the others like him that we are here ,we are watching..and you may be next....thanks ...I am truly sorry that this saga continues....but I am not about to quit in the middle...Cody will get homed...hopefully right here with us..and he will get care and love..and this so called owner will never have one day in his life the the word bulldogers and even bulldogs world doesn't give him nightmares while he reachs into his empty pocket!ce
Did someone really ask for their $$$ back?

My Offer Stands.....
Ce, you let me know if anyone wants their bucks back and I will cover it. Just email me with an amount, persons name and address and I will send a check - if not from me back through you. You have done way more than your share and I can afford to share this burden.
Each person who donated had a choice, as I did. I chose not to get involved for my own reasons but it was my choice just as those who donated made a choice. I don't feel bad about not donating but after seeing the pics and hearing all the terrible stories, I do feel Cody is a real Rescue and I do donate to rescue.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Cody and those who are helping him. I also ask that God help us put an end to the actions of this breeder.
"The more I know people, the more I love my bulldogs."
i don't think..
the people that are trying to cause trouble (same ones every time, too...lol) have even contributed to this...so there are no worries.
The other people that are just voicing concern about paying the bad guy...well, they just have valid concerns and should be able to voice them...i don't think they want money back.
I think EVERYBODY is going to be THRILLED if that money helps to bring down the "breeder". The only concerns were that we shouldn't make a habit of rescuing animals by paying a lot of money for them, therefore enabling the "breeders" to mistreat even more animals.
I think it has been established, that we will not just let it go. Everything will be tried to get that guy down....to get the dogs away from him. I think everyone is in agreement that this would be money well spent...not just to rescue Cody, but to get the others out of the situation.
Now we will just put our trust into the great gals here that are working on it behind the scenes and let them do what needs done.
In time we will all hear the outcome, until then we shouldn't jeopardize anything by being hasty..(i know i was red hot angry this morning and ready to storm that bastards house..lol, but i have cooled off now)

Did such a cranky person even donate in the first place?
I find that hard to believe.
Ce if someone wants $$ back
it shouldnt be up to you alone. I can help out. E mail me and I can contribute to at least one person who is not happy. Although I cant believe anyone would want $$ back.. You are sooo great!!1
Gosh, it sounds like you all were in the nick of time.
Do you think being wet all nite the nite before gave him pneumonia? Oh, Ce.
I can answer a few of your questions...
the vet said his lungs were full ...but that her fear at that time was possible Pneumonia,a stress reaction...but he was gasping his tongue was going blue so the treatment had to be fast and cover all basis..he will indeed be geting antibiotics,eye ointment..and I am sure various other treatments...thank you for your questions to ask...I will take them with me..
iwill update all on his health when we return from thevet....smile..and thanks again you are a wonder..and all heart...ce
What did they say was wrong with his breathing?
Was it like asthma? Or was it like fluid on his lungs?
Make sure and get him some eye drops today from them like Gentamicin eye drops or ointment for his eyes. What did they say about the tumour? Steroids sound like they thought it was like asthma. Are they going to give him oral antibiotics, too? Ask how his heart is, too. Any murmurs? Did they test him for heartworms? When you pick him up, ask these questions.
MAKE SURE AND GIVE US THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THE VET BILL SO WE WILL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST. I am sure you will be lucky to get out the door for $300-400. I sent some extra money to your account but it is not near that kind of money when I saw his eyes.
Ce, your intuition was correct. You did the right thing. So did Deb and Kristae.
I sure hope...
I sure hope that we are able to put an end to this mans cruelty. 38 females? That should be enough to end him I would think. From my dealings with people just about Flash's problems I've found that you get a good lead and then you run into a roadblock, it just seems no one cares what happens to these animals except for a minority of people. There just doesn't seem to be a law to protect them, and that's a very SAD situation. I am very glad that we rescued him from his poor environment, I only wish that every baby out there in his same situation could be helped, I will never understand how one could let such a sweet animal live like that. Good luck to Cody, I know he's in good hands and I am glad that Kristae realized what might be best for him at this point. Maybe when he is better she may be able to care for him. I am also willing to do whatever I have to do to help bring this breeder down, let all of us know where we go from here. Malinda, Flash, Quigly and Sailor
Thank God .....
I just knew he would get better.....when I saw the pictures last night of how he looked and the way he was
with all who went to save him,,
That Cody had the heart to live and the will..
I am here and will stay to Help in any way I can.. just say the word.
Whoever get Cody--
will be one lucky person just to have him come into their lives He has touched so many people already and we haven't even got to see him except in pictures. He is truly one great dog.
Let us know if at anytime in his life you need anything.
