I would like to know why this reply to a posting was

[Moderator's Note: if the post had been rejected you would have gotten an
explanation with the rejection, so I wonder if it never arrived. This is the first time I
have seen it myself.
One thing that I do notice is that a fundamental rule is broken in the note below.
We do not identify vets or hospitals by name in posts that also discuss cases, but
you include your address so those with questions can contact you directly and you
can certainly write to them directly, too.
So, now on to your post...]
