According to Thursday's publication of the Star-Telegram,
the Fort Worth, Texas, veterinarian who was arrested after being
accused of keeping a dog alive for his blood, has admitted that there
are more dogs who suffered the same fate.
Dr. Lou Tierce, 71, of the Camp Bowie Animal Clinic, told officials that there were actually five dogs who were kept alive at his clinic after their owners asked for them to be euthanized. Investigators found a virtual house of horrors inside of the clinic when they conducted a raid earlier this week.
Three dogs discovered inside of the facility earlier this week were in “such decrepit shape” that they had to be humanely euthanized. Investigators also found bugs, unsecured medications and exam rooms littered with trash, laundry and paperwork. One of the most disturbing finds was the doctor's own dog, who was on an exam room floor - court documents state that the dog was missing a leg, had two dislocated shoulders and another dislocated leg.

Veterinarian accused of keeping dog alive for blood surrenders to authorities
May 1, 2014
According to Thursday's publication of the Star-Telegram,
the Fort Worth, Texas, veterinarian who has been accused of keeping a
dog alive in order to utilize the dog's blood, has surrendered to the
authorities.
Dr. Lou Tierce, 71, of the Camp Bowie Animal Clinic, surrendered at the Tarrant County Jail on Wednesday evening - he was arrested and then released after posting bail. An arrest warrant was issued for the veterinarian, for a charge of animal cruelty, after a couple came forward with a complaint accusing the doctor of telling them that their dog had been euthanized months ago, when the dog was actually being kept alive, supposedly in order for the clinic to utilize him for blood transfusions.
Dr. Tierce denies the allegations and he has pointed the finger of blame on a disgruntled former employee - the woman who quit and then told Jamie and Marian Harris that their dog, "Sid," was not dead, but instead, very much alive inside of a cage at the vet clinic.
The couple managed to get inside of the veterinary hospital to retrieve their dog - they claim that another veterinarian later examined Sid and told them that the dog appeared to have been used repeatedly for blood transfusions. The Harrises have stated that they were advised by Dr. Tierce to have the dog euthanized because he was suffering from a degenerative spinal condition.
