Sweet pup needs surgery
Donation protected
About a week ago out of the blue, I met a puppy at the clinic that I am interning at.
Here is a video of him.
Barely 6 weeks old, I found out that he had been run over by a car three days prior. The owners for whatever reason had failed to bring the obviously injured puppy in any earlier than this. The puppy was not very responsive and covered head to toe in fleas, he was more flea than dog!
Not able to afford any care, and because of the condition of the puppy, we offered to take the pup. Luckily, the owner eventually relinquished ownership of him to the clinic.
The wonderful Veterinarian was kind enough to take on this puppy, even if we weren't sure if he would make it or not. His abdomen was perforated and very purple which indicated bleeding. He also could not walk and would scream and cry when you touched any part of his back-end including his hips, belly, and legs. You could see the fleas crawling all over his face and body.
He has since been doing a little better and getting stronger. He now actually eats on his own and is attempting to walk.
However, despite his slight recovery from the incident, we found out that he will still need surgery, and quickly, because of his back leg. Unable to walk correctly, the injury will get in the way of a full healthy recovery.
We do not have the materials at this clinic to do the type of surgery he needs and therefore we cannot absorb the cost. So this sweet puppy desperately needs help! He is a growing baby so the surgery cannot wait. The bone will be trying to grow while it is broken up, and the results could be very bad for him.
This is never something I thought I would have to do or ask, but i'm at a loss, and this puppy deserves this surgery. He had a very rough start to his life, but he deserves to continue it with health and love. If you can spare anything, even a dollar.. it would be greatly appreciated and this puppy will thank you.
If you can't donate to this sweet pup, please share to get the word out!
I will also be doing pet portraits for anyone interested who donates over $120! So if you're interested in one please contact me for information.
Thank you for reading, please keep your fingers crossed for this sweet puppy and his long road to recovery!
