Help "Old Man" Get Medical Care
Donation protected
We need your help to raise money to cover urgent surgery for Old Man!
Old Man is a sweet, happy senior Pomeranian with special needs. He is partially deaf, has cataracts, arthritis that greatly limits his mobility (he needs help going to the bathroom), a MAJOR flea infestation, and several other health issues that need attention. The most important issue is his teeth - all of his teeth are rotten and need to be removed urgently. They are crumbling, bleeding, and falling out of his mouth. He can barely eat despite a healthy appetite.
We took him to Art City Vets on June 11th, and we were told for a full mouth extraction the cost would be $2400.
In addition to this, Old Man is not neutered and is cryptorchid - meaning one testicle has not descended and is a cancer risk. He will need surgery to remove it, but that cannot happen at the same time as his teeth. So we will need to put him through two surgeries and two recoveries - and that is just the basics. He also needs additional blood work and tests done to rule out cancer on a few spots of his body.
We are aiming for $3000 to try and cover his dental surgery, at least part of his cryptorchid surgery, and to help offset the costs of the additional tests and care he needs. We will post a receipt from the surgery for transparency and will keep everyone updated. We are not keeping any of the funds to reimburse ourselves - this money will all go exclusively to Old Man's care.
We have already spent around $400-500 in the past few days to help him, but we need your help to get his teeth pulled. Any amount will help!
Old Man's backstory:
Sweet "Old Man" was found in Port Richmond this week. There are eyewitness accounts of him being abandoned by someone at Cohox Rec Center (please no judgements - we may never know what happened). We have continued to search for an owner anyway, but so far we have been unsuccessful.
Old Man is a typical spunky Pomeranian, who trots when he walks despite his arthritis and low mobility. Just like a Pom, he also loves to bark. He has a lot of life in him in spite of all the things he has been through. He is a gentle, sweet little man, and he has clearly been through a lot in his twilight years and we want to help him get the care he deserves.
Old Man URGENTLY needs care for his rotting teeth and mouth. He is in pain and his health is suffering - he is very thin and at his age that is dangerous. We need to help him as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide! We are so grateful!
