Title: Kilty - 6 year old girl at Many Tears. (sadly has many mammary tumours)

19-01-10 Kilty is a 6 yr old ex breeding female cocker. She is a happy go lucky girl, happy to be groomed and fussed. She is a little scared of strange noises so will need a gentle loving home to call her own with a dog companion to help her on her way.
 
 PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home ex-breeding dogs where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company.  They get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up.
 
 This dog is at the main rescue centre in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.

 20-01-10 UPDATE
 Kilty our sweet roan cocker  sadly has many mammary tumours. Our vet feels that her best chance of as long a life as possible is not to try to remove all the tumours, so he has just spayed her. He feels once you start to operate you nearly always make the growths grow faster. Each growth has long deep roots, so remove all is almost impossible. therefore she will be by donation only. the vet still feels she may have a good 3 years ahead!!! i hope people will still give her a chance!!!!
 

Such a shame.  :'(

Peggy had a mammary tumour 3 or 4 years ago which was removed.
No problems since.

Our Little Misty had lots of mammary tumours through out her life and went on to live to over 14 years old, so hope Kilty has lots of happy years in a loving home. :luv: I think she is so lovely, bless her :luv:

Kilty is  being fostered by me along with Milka.   :luv:
She only arrived tonight but is making herself quite at home in her comfy dog bed.  :luv:   Her tail wags non stop and she is very sweet.

Kilty is an absolute angel  :luv: 

She arrived last night and her tail has been wagging ever since.  She is timid but ready to love.  She likes a cuddle and gives you cocker kisses in return. 

We have been a very good girl and have had no accidents with housetraining.  :D

She is very fluffy - like a cuddly bear.  :005:

Sadly her mammary tumours are too deep rooted to be removed and the vet felt it would be kinder to leave them than part remove them as there is lots.  But they do feel she should have a good 3 years ahead of her.

02/02/10 update:

 Kilty is a pleasure to foster. She is 100% housetrained and has been left for a period of 3 hours with no problems. She enjoys going walks and is learning to walk well on a lead but is a little startled by traffic noise at the moment. She also travels well in a car. She has been good with my 3 young children. Kilty absolutely loves humans and enjoys nothing more than having her belly rubbed and having cuddles. She is braver than most ex breeding girls. She will quite happily wander from room to room tail wagging away! She can be quite choosy as to which dogs she wants to live with though. She will not want to share a house with puppies/young dogs as they will be too in her face and she will grumble at them. She is fine living with my 9 year old cocker and has come round to living with my 5 year old one. Therefore she would prefer an older calm dog if sharing a house with one. However Kilty would be equally as happy as AN ONLY DOG if you are at home a lot of the time to give her the love and cuddles she so deserves. Please do not pass this gorgeous girl by just because she has tumours. Take a look into those loving eyes and apply for her now - you will not regret it. She is very loving and will make a fantastic addition to your family. She deserves to be spoilt for how ever many years she may have ahead of her.


She is sitting waiting patiently for her new mummy  :luv:

Post by: gorgeouspoppy on February 14, 2010, 07:32:14 PM
I am bumping up my gorgeous foster girl since she has slipped to page 2.  :005: :luv:

Kilty has been with me 3 weeks now and has made great progress.  She is 100% housetrained and can happily be left for 3-4 hours with no problems.  Walks fine on the lead - still getting used to all the new sounds and smells when out.

When she first arrived she was rather choosy which dogs she liked. She grumbled everytime Misty (my 7 month old pup) bounded near her and snapped at her the 2nd day here.  She also took an instant dislike to Kinda (who is definately not a bouncy in your face dog) and grumbled showing teeth every time she passed.  ph34r  She never had a problem with Poppy. But after patience, time and love that has all changed.  :D  She enjoys cuddling up to Kinda now and doesn't grumble at her anymore.  I can leave them in the same room with no problems.  She will also share a bed with Misty but will grumble at her when Misty wants to hang off her ears!  So Kilty would prefer not to go to a home with a puppy! Kilty is fine with other dogs who visit.

She loves humans to bits. Tail never stops wagging and thumping off of doors, walls, floors etc!  She is fine with children - just finds a quieter corner when it gets too noisy.  So she could go as an only dog if someone is around a lot of the time.

She now takes treats gently instead of grabbing your fingers! :005:  Eats next to all the other dogs with no problems.  

Loves to be brushed.  It has taken me 3 weeks to get all her matted hair sorted and I never had one grumble from her.

She may have arrived as a little madam but she certainly is not anymore. :D

Her tumours are not visble to look at but you can feel them.  She is not in any pain and not on any medication at the moment.  The vet feels she should have 3 years (maybe less, maybe more).  When she starts to suffer she will need pain relief and her new owner will have to be prepared to do the kindest thing for Kilty.  It is a big ask for someone to take on a rescue dog knowing all of this but please consider her as she is worth it.  She is a pleasure to have.

Pictures to show just how loving she is.

With Misty!

Kilty has been to the groomers  :D.   She was needing a tidy up as she still had a few matts that needed sorted, especially on her legs and paws.  :luv:

(http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/gorgeouspoppy/200220101994.jpg)

Poor Kilty also appears to have hip dysplasia  :'(.   We did think her gait was irregular but due to all her hair we couldn't be certain.  Now that she has been cut you can clearly see it.    Rita (who cut her hair for me) has been a breeder for over 20 years and does cocker rescue scotland and that was the first thing she noticed (hip dysplasia).

I'm really miserable because I have been trying for 2 days to convince OH we should take Kilty, especially now that Mollie has calmed down and I believe we could give this lovely girl a decent life, but he won't agree to it.  I'm going to keep trying but doesn't look like it's going to work.  Men!!!!!

Truly appreciate everything fosterers like Jo do for these dogs.

Nic, I'm still trying to wear the inflexible and opinionated one down.  At least Kilty has a home with Jo until whenever.  I don't know why there's so little interest.  The 2 or 3 years thing would not bother me - that's rubbish - of course it would at the end but in the big picture it wouldn't and look what the 2 or 3 years would bring someone.

We'd have her tomorrow but I work 2 days a week (home at lunchtime though), would take her to our holiday home by the sea during the summer but I'm sure we'd been turned down by the charity!  We've had dogs for 18 years and could give her such a lovely home........

You can ask.  The main thing they want is for the new owner to already have a calm dog to help show her the ropes (not that we fit the bill 100% in the calm department).  We don't even have a properly fenced garden on one side because of a river but Jo didn't think that would be a problem as Kilty sticks to you like glue.  There will be vet bills to consider too.

Kilty is still looking bless her.  :luv:   She us been with us nearly 6 weeks now.

She is getting along fine with all other dogs now.  She welcomed brussel sprout and simon in with no problems.  She just isn't that keen on kinda.  (not sure if its because Kinda is white and the others are all dark!)

She walks well on a lead, 100% housetrained, good with people, recall is good (well she has been here 6 weeks so answers to her name and doesn't run off when out walks!), can go as an only dog as loves humans.   She will quite happily sit on the sofa and be cuddled for hours.  She is not in any pain at the moment and does have her daft cocker moments like all cockers!

I hope someone will offer Kilty her forever home soon so she can enjoy as much time as possible with her new family.  She had a horrendous 6 or so years in a puppy farm and is really enjoying her freedom and home comforts.  All she asks for is a house to call her own and a loving family to help her when she does become ill.   She is sitting here patiently hoping someone will choose her and give her a chance. If you do she will definately reward you back with lots of love and cocker kisses.:luv:

Kilty would probably prefer to not to live with a puppy.  I have Misty who is nearly 8 months and Kilty is fine with her now (apart from having the odd grumble to tell her off ::) )   but when she first arrived she really didn't like Misty being in her face and did nip her which sent Misty running and squeeling but she learned not to annoy Kilty after that!

Thanks for getting back to me on that. Hopefully she will find a home that is suitable but I will keep an eye on her progress. I guess if nobody comes forward our set up may be ok. Poppy is not too bad and she is used to being told to clear off by Molly. I just find it so sad and would have no problem with her condition would just love her to have a really good time in what she has left.

Kilty is doing great - must send a new update to MT!  :luv:  She will have been with us 2 months in a few days time :o  Time has flown by!

She loves going walks and lying in the garden.  She is becoming braver by the day.  She still automatically flinches when you go to clap her head or put the lead on but she soon realises nothing bads going to happen.  She has stopped growling at Kinda now - just has the odd moan. :005:  She cuddles up beside my lot and eats happily along side them so she doesn't mean anything by her odd grumble.  She was chasing Misty in the garden the other day then letting Misty chase her so she is starting to play.  Her tail never stops wagging. :luv:  I think she just tried to be top dog for the first few weeks here but everything has settled now.

She woowoos at you when she wants her dinner!  And she is quite loud! :005:

Kilty is keeping good health - no problems from her tumours.  She loves her new found freedom  and all the comforts that go along with it.  She will follow you around to see what you are doing.  She is housetrained but if she is left for about 4 hours ish she sometimes will have a little accident and you come home to a wee on the kitchen floor.  But she will say hello with a cocker kiss so she is forgiven!
:005:

She is a pleasure to foster and will always have a place with us but Kilty would really like a family of her own.  She had a horrendous start in life (6 years in a puppy farm) where she didn't know love and feared humans but is learning all about love now.  It will take someone with a big heart to adopt her not knowing how much time they will have with her (and vet bills when she does need pain relief etc) but when the time does come Kilty hopes her only wish will have been granted - a family of her own who loved her. :luv: :luv:

would she not have a better chance of being rehomed if many tears covered her future vet bills?
being realistic future big bills is a lot to ask someone to take on especially if moneys tight.
i know lots of rescues will cover future vet bills for a existing problem owners couldn't get insurance for.

We hardly have the quiet, calm life she's looking for either.  :shades: :005: I really hope someone finds it in there heart to give this girl the loving forever home she needs with what ever time she has left. At least she is well looked after in the mean time. Bless you for the work you do. Your an  :angel:

hi there i agree with crazy cocker gang, quite a few rescues do pay for medication for a dog that has an ongoing medical problem as it is part of the adoption agreement,i am sure this would make a difference to wether she is rehomed quickly or not, people do worry about the costings of vets bills when they take on a dog and would prefer a dog with no medical issues, it is really sad but unfortunately that s the way at the mo. when i first saw kilty i was very tempted but my oh reminded me of the vets bill that we would incurr.  i do hope she finds her forever loving home as she thoroughly deserves that after 6 years of breeding/   good luck kilty :luv: :luv:

I agree with Crazy Cocker Gang.  It may be putting people off offering Kilty a home not knowing how much future bills may be.

Can they not set up a fund for Kilty, so people can donate to help pay for her future vet bills as this may help her find that forever loving home she deserves.  I would gladly donate to it.

I was really touched by her story and would loved to have given her a home but our situation is not good for her at the moment having an 18 week old piranha pup who is constantly in Mollys face. The vets bills would have been a concern so a fund for her is a great idea.

would she not have a better chance of being rehomed if many tears covered her future vet bills?
being realistic future big bills is a lot to ask someone to take on especially if moneys tight.
i know lots of rescues will cover future vet bills for a existing problem owners couldn't get insurance for.


I agree with Crazy Cocker Gang.  It may be putting people off offering Kilty a home not knowing how much future bills may be.

If they could I'd certainly help out....

Me too. A lot of rescues do have a fund or will cover the older dog with medical problems as you cannot get insurance. If she stays in foster they would have to cover her bills. If they would agree to cover medication as it is said that surgery is not possible that would relieve a lot of people of the worry especially if they already have an older dog but would like to give Kilty a home.

As a number of people had said they felt a fund for Kiltys future medical bills may be beneficial I emailed them to see if it was feasible. The thread had gone quiet and I wasn't sure if anyone else had contacted them but they got back to me this morning. I asked if they were ok with me posting their reply here and this is what they said;

Hi

>Thank you for your email regarding Kilty.  We are a little confused as at
>the moment Kilty is not having medical treatment that would warrant a fund
>being set up for her.   We have not been contacted by the forum but do
>appreciate their kind efforts to try and help Kilty find a home.  She is
>currently very happy living in her foster home and we are sure there will be
>someone out there who will offer her a forever home soon.

I did say that it was regarding future vet bills and quite a few people felt it may help her finding a home. They seem, however quite confident she will find her forever home soon but they did say that if anyone was still concerned to contact the centre.

Thanks for sharing the reply of MT, Mark.
I wonder if anyone has come forward with an interest in Kilty as she does seem to have been with gorgeouspoppy for a long time now.
I know her foster mum is doing a fantastic job but it would be nice for her to have her own forever home soon :luv:
I do think the thought of future vet bills might put people off.  Although I would willingly give her a home if I was allowed ( unfortunately I don't fit the criteria as I work part time and my two dogs are quite lively) the thought of large future vet bills would be a consideration as I would be unable to get insurance cover for her.
As I have stated previously, I would happily donate towards this little girl's fund  :luv:

I have to say that my heart has ruled my head over Kilty. I would have her in a flash but luckily OH is the sensible one and pointed out we have an 18 week old puppy and a two and half year old who acts about as daft as the puppy.

I sill think if many tears offered future financial support for her current conditions a new home would of been found by now for her  :'(

I dont understand why they are not offering this  :-\

What treatment is she recieving for the HD and she been seen by a vet regarding it?

Would her vet bills be that extensive though? The only treatment that she'll be on is pain relief for both her mammary tumours and her HD - maybe they only offer cover of vet fees if the dog requires a lot of regular treatment and/or ops  :huh:

I would have her in a heartbeat  :luv:, but unfortunately due to current personal circumstances I just can't at the moment ( I have pm'd Jo about this) :'(

The veterinary costs would not affect my decision at all  ;)

That's what I would have thought - pain relief, give her a couple or 3 of lovely years, and no need to go to the ends of the earth and put her through a lot of unnecessary stuff before doing the deed.  But others would disagree probably.

But thats the thing - the vet has already said that the tumours should be left alone so keeping her comfortable and pain free is really all thats needed. Dallas had a vasectomy instead of castration otherwise she could have come to Kent with us and shared his Metacam  :005:
