My Name is Dean Miller and im fundraising for my horse and best friend Damascus a 7 year old Akhal Teke sporthorse who went in for surgery to remove his tesitals as they had no descended at Ocala Equine Hospital in Ocala , Florida on the 6th November 2020 , Dr Lugo one of the best at the procedure was in charge and the process started . All went well till the last testical was ready to be pulled clear ,and when it was it ruptured Damascus bowel , And the call was sent out across the hospital for all surgeons and technicians to assist in which became colic surgery .To be present and see this happening was horrific and devastating and not anyone would have expected it. They worked on him relentlessly and at 2 points wanted to call it and stop as it seemed impossible after a few hours of everyone working on Damascus . I was watching my best friend die in front of my eyes , But Dr Lugo just would not give up on him and his team persevered and early evening they started closing him up and getting him ready to see if he would survive the anesthesia ,As he been under for over 7 hours at that point , he came around to the relief of us all and cleared that hurdle . First hours where hard to say the least and he is still in ICU and we taking it hour by hour and grateful for every hour that goes by and every test that comes back good , the goal is to get him through the week with no issues . Dr Lugo and all the team at Ocala Equine Hospital have been amazing and so grateful they would not give up on my dragon Damascus i cant thank them enough, and Dr Hall she is Damascus ICU vet and gives him company and loving !
The reality is yes there are cost that no one could have planned for , the surgery and the long months ahead with Damascus recovery which will be a year at least and if you can help in any way big or small all would be appreciated and i thank you from the bottom of my heart and Damascus thanks you also
