Help Save Monkey – Urgent Heart Surgery Needed!

Our Story

Hello, fellow animal lovers,

My name is Roy, and I’m writing for help for my beloved Dog, Monkey. He has a problem with one of his heart valves & needs a mitral valve surgery (v-clamp) or he will die in 3-6 months. With this surgery, he will be able to have a happy, healthy life.

Monkey's Condition

Monkey has been the brightest part of my life since we met at the pound adoption pen – so my heart was nearly broken a fortnight ago when I said what I thought might have been our last goodbye in the critical care section of our emergency vet. He’d been admitted a few hours before for a constant cough and difficulty breathing and they had him on oxygen in a sealed cage. He kept trying to nuzzle me for comfort and started panicking and having a breathing attack when he couldn’t. He was taken to critical care the next morning and stayed there for a couple of days.

He’s back home now, but he has fluid on his lungs because his heart can’t pump properly with this bad heart valve & his heart is overworking and swelling from try and keep up with the load.

He’s on one medication to keep the fluid down in his lungs and another to improve heart function and reduce the swelling – but the vet gives him months at most unless he gets surgery.

The heart surgery, including the medical procedures, post-operative care, and medications, will cost approximately $30,000. Unfortunately, this is far beyond what I can manage, and we are desperately seeking your help.

Monkey is the Sweetest little dog in the world

He had an extremely hard start in life, he’d been abandoned as a young dog and didn’t know what toys were when I first got him. The closest thing he knew to playing was picking up rocks from the garden and carrying them around in his mouth (he’d never been given attention or had anyone care for his enrichment). I taught him how to play and he’s had many toys over the years now (his current favourite is a stuffed llama). He’s really blossomed and gained confidence and loves every human he meets.
