Help Sweetie get the treatment she needs!
Donation protected
If you are familiar with the Dutch Bros Trio this is one of them! I work at Rudys in Tucson and she came by my work in her small pack on wednesday morning and stayed all the way until the night time where i was able to save her but unable to save the other two dogs she was with. The other two dogs are boys and we have tried to catch them before but they unfortunately do not want to be caught. I took her home wednesday night and bathed her. She has ticks and fleas so i washed her in special soap and picked at her. She did amazing throughout this. She has been staying in my room away from my other dogs due to contamination from the ticks and fleas.
I named her Sweetie and we got her a collar and tag on 05/11/2024. We went to PACC first thing in the morning (which was an absolute mess) and got her a few vaccines and chipped because she didn’t have one before. We were told that PACC would check her out medically, but that is untrue, they were absolutely no help. Besides the few vaccines and chip for free they weren’t willing to do any other tests or even look at her back leg (it is hurt). When i told them it was hurt the women asked me “is she actively bleeding?” I said no and she basically kicked us out of her office and told us to go get her a tag and then just gave her back after 5 mins. Although i appreciate the few vaccines and chip, there was no compassion for Sweetie or her situation. This made me and my family very upset. After we left PACC we made a few calls and found a vet that took her same day and we got her in for a few tests. I paid to test her fecal and for heart worm (which both turned out to be negative!!!). They also expressed it wouldn’t be a bad idea to test for valley fever but i can’t afford the test at this time as it is between $200-300. They also recommended an x-ray on her hurt leg which i also can not provide the money for at this time unfortunately:/. They gave me pain meds for her because she limps in and out of the day but does not whine when it’s touched. They also gave me heart worm chews and next guard chew for the ticks and fleas. I would like to raise money for her valley fever test and if it comes back positive, raise money for her treatment and meds. I also need to raise money for an x-ray and possible treatment if something is wrong. She is still eating and drinking just fine and is very playful. She gets scared to meet new people but easily trusts them once they pet her:). She has been isolated in my room away from my other 4 to give her time to decompress before introducing. We have also started tick and flea treatment which i was told could take up to 6 months. I am being cautious to not pass this to my other dogs or the rest of my house. I appreciate all of your support
