A pet Corgi once poisoned by anti-freeze is now showing signs of improvement.
Betty Skel's pet Corgi "Bear" has been on dialysis at a veterinary hospital at the University of Florida since February 22nd, after Skel says she found blue anti-freeze residue in Bear's water bowl.
Skel had believed a neighbor who frequently complained about Bear's barking may have poisoned the pup.
Skel says since the dialysis Bear has almost made a full recovery, "I am told that only 1 in 1,000 survive anti-freeze poisoning, so we are very lucky."
So far, no arrests have been made but Martin County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate.
John Pierson of Stuart Toyota has put up a $10,000 reward leading to information in the case. That reward is still being offered.
Anyone with information that can help in the case can contact the Martin County Sheriff's Office at 772-220-7000. References« FL State Animal Cruelty Map
