Odie's Emergency Surgery

Tonight we had to rush our 10 month old golden doodle, Odie to Northeast Veterinary Referral Hospital. He was struggling to swallow and acting like something had been caught in his throat. Once we arrived at the hospital they immediately sedated him and took him for emergency x-rays. They discovered that Odie had ingested a foreign object which was lodged in his stomach. This caused him to have a condition known as bloat. The doctor tried to induce vomiting with medication to no avail. Our options were to risk his life hoping it would pass or have emergency surgery to remove the blockage. We opted for the surgery to save Odie. The doctor informed us that the bill will be between $4,000-$6000 for his surgery and the hospital stay. We would first like to ask all of you for your prayers so Odie may make a full recovery. Second, any donations that you can make to help us to pay for his life saving surgery would be very much appreciated.  Many of you know that our Odie and Alphie are Brandon and I's babies. Odie is our cuddly, kissy, mommas boy. Odie will be our ring bearer at our upcoming wedding in September. He is the love of our life along with Alphie. Our Odie is strong and we are praying for his full recovery. Thank you for anything you contribute and thank you for sharing. ❤ **In the case that donations surpass Odie's vet bill we will donate excess donations to our local SPCA.**
