 PO IS ALIVE ! ❤️‍
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Three blood transfusion's.
</div>
<div>
 A race against time.
</div>
<div>
 And a little life that nearly slipped away.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Meet Po ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 A sweet, 3 year old Pug, rescued from a backyard breeder confiscation and now a cherished member of the Animal Rescue Consortium family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Po was safe in foster care, loved and finally getting the life he deserved.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Then, without warning, he began collapsing.
</div>
<div>
 Not stumbling. Not losing his balance. Simply keeling over, without warning.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It was TERRIFYING.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 After two days of these frightening episodes, we brought Po to our longtime veterinarian for an examination. He observed horizontal nystagmus - involuntary eye movement, raising concerns about a possible neurological or seizure related condition. A full blood panel was ordered, and Po was sent home with Keppra while we awaited the results.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Then came the phone call that stopped us in our tracks.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our veterinarian, a man we’ve trusted and worked alongside for DECADES, called with an urgency in his voice that we’d rarely heard.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 GET PO TO AN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. IMMEDIATELY!”
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 When we asked why, his answer was chilling.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 HE COULD DIE AT ANY MINUTE!
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Po’s red blood cell count was catastrophically low. His little body was in crisis.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There was no time to waste.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Po was rushed from the far reaches of Long Island to one of the finest emergency and diagnostic veterinary hospitals in the lower Hudson Valley.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The medical team went straight to work.
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
 **ONE TRANSFUSION.**

 ❤️ **PO SURVIVED.** ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our little boy fought his way back.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We were told that without the rapid intervention of our extraordinary veterinarian, Po might not have survived another TWO HOURS.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Two hours.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Think about that.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 **EXPERIENCE. INSTINCT. WISDOM. AND A VETERINARIAN WHO KNEW SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLY WRONG.**
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That is what saved Po’s life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Today, our little warrior is preparing to leave the hospital, alive and once again surrounded by love. His recovery and medical needs will continue, but he has been given something priceless.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 **A SECOND CHANCE**
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And now we need your help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This extraordinary effort to save one little life has taken a substantial toll on ARC’s emergency medical fund — the very fund that allows us to say YES when the next desperate animal needs immediate, lifesaving care.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We never want the decision to save a life to come down to whether we can afford to try.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 **PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION**
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 No amount is too small. Every dollar helps replenish the resources that saved Po and will be needed to save the next animal whose life hangs in the balance.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Po survived because people cared enough to act
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Help us be there for the next Po❤️
