Help us pay for D-Bo's medical bills
Donation protected
D-bo is our American Bulldog 9 month old puppy. He is the sweetest dog you could ever meet, always wagging his tail (and hips) and licking everyone he sees. He loves our 4 month old baby and is the best big brother to her.
On June 20th we decided to take D-bo to the park. When his breath began to get heavy we walked back to the car and went home. On our way home D-bo was very unsettled in the back of the car and when I looked he had threw up everywhere. I rushed to get a water bottle and poured it on him because I could tell he was overheating. My boyfriend immediately searched for a vet and headed that way. As I tried not to panic I searchedw the car for more water bottles but his condition increasingly got worse. He eventually was falling over not being able to really move his legs, then his whole body collapsed and all he could do was howl in pain.
When we finally arrived at the vet, nurses rushed him to the back as D-bo was trying his hardest to stay conscious.
The doctors said he had a heat stroke, they put him on IV fluids, took some blood tests, and did everything they could to bring his temperature down as it was so high the thermometer couldn’t even read it. They said his blood vessels were pretty much exploding from the heat so he started bruising everywhere.
This all happened a few hours ago and we are first of all asking for prayers. Please pray that he recovers and has no complications resulting from this heat stroke. Second, since we just had a baby 4 months ago we are not able to take care of his medical bills so every donation helps!!!
Please pray and share if you cannot donate!!
Thank you so much in advance for trying to help our family.
