TWO EMERGENCIES NEED YOUR HELP !!! #1: A little white female adorable dog, about a year old, was hit by a car and left for dead by the side of the road. The Animal Control Officer came to pick up a dead dog and found she was still alive!! She was taken to a shelter. She had broken bones and the shelter couldn't afford to do the surgeries so they were going to amputate!!!! We couldn't let a one year old lose body parts, so SOS DOGS took her and has taken on the cost of surgery, along with the usual spaying and shots. Her elbow was broken and shattered in THREE places, right thru on the ball, and the surgery required plates and pins and wires, a very extensive and expensive procedure. We named her Abby and she's sweet and adorable, good natured even with the pain she must have, even wagged her tail during the whole time in the picture below. But her vet bill is huge and we need help paying it:
#2: An owner brought her 1 year old yorkie to the emergency vet; he had a foreign body in his stomach and intestines and needed surgery. She was told the cost and said she could not afford it and to to put him to sleep. SOS DOGS was contacted immediately (late at night) and we agreed to pay for the surgery if he was signed over to us. He had EXTENSIVE surgery for many hours. He had chewed up and swallowed what appeared to be a wire hair brush with hair. His intestines were perforated in several places, along with masses of hair, metal pieces and plastic wound around in his stomach and intestines. Part of his intestine and colon had to be removed along with lots of work done on the inside of his stomach to get it all out. He was nearly dead and was in the hospital in intensive care for a week, and you know how expensive that is!! He was on IV and lost a lot of weight, but is recuperating now in an SOS foster home. He's a real sweetheart and we're so glad we helped him, but now we have to figure out how to pay the huge vet bill. This picture of him shows how skinny he got while on IV and you can see how sad he is, but he's on the mend.
UPDATE:
Rocky is in his
new home and totally recovered and doing great. He is with people who
will never again allow him to come close to death because his owner
can't afford to meet his medical needs.
Abby has been
adopted by someone close to the rescue so that we can continue medical
care. She needs periodic rechecks at the vet and we weekly discuss her
progress. It's too soon to tell if she will completely recover and not
limp, but it looks fairly good so far.
