Dog (Continued from page 1) finally agreed to test Hemor and sure enough, my diagnosis was cor- reet.” Since the diagnosis, the Stair family has had several close calls with Hemor. The one they remem- ber well has been named the ‘Big Bleed.” “It happened during the Easter holiday last year,” said Mrs. Stair. “Our other dog, Snoopy, bit Hemor under the neck which consequently caused a sublingual hemotoma. His tongue was swollen about three times the size it should have been. He couldn’t even close his mouth.” “We had to feed him intrave- nously for about two weeks,” said Dr. Stair. “We really thought we £N As es sm—— "CHALLENGE KID" SAVE UPTO / 50% ACTIVE © WEAR COP PPCCPOPOPPPPP PPP OPPO PPPP PCCP OOOOOOS HOOD FLEECE . ...... 24° 127 V-NECK FLEECE. ....... 20° 8" PANT FLEECE. . ...... 24" 10" JTENNISSHIRT. ... ..... 2311 TERRY TANK ...

They received vitamins from the phar- macy at General Hospital, blood bags from Nesbitt Hospital, and even the Red Cross got in the act by processing the whole blood into fresh frozen plasma. Fortunately, because of a lot of tender loving care, Hemor recov- ered. Hemor hasn’t had any severe bleeding in the past year, but the family must still be cautious. All sharp objects must be moved out of his reach, and even his food must be kept soft. Dr. and Mrs. Stair’s three children understand Hemor’s disa- bility and are very careful with him. Mrs. Stair even has to keep fresh blood products in her freezer along with her strawberries. There have been times when Dr. Stair has had to give Hemor blood transfusions on the diningroom table. Hemor realizes he’s a lucky dog. C’mon, ump! Dallas Post/Ed Campbell By CHARLOT M.
