Lil Shotgun Ryder, recently experienced a frightening emergency when he couldn't urinate. A trip to the vet revealed seven bladder stones, with three unfortunately lodged in his urethra. Despite three attempts to flush them out, only four stones could be removed, prompting an urgent transfer to Gainesville for emergency surgery. Thankfully, once sedated at the new facility and given a catheter, the three stubborn stones in his urethra were successfully pushed back into his bladder. Ryder is now scheduled for minimally invasive surgery to remove the remaining stones.

This sudden medical emergency comes at a terrible time financially for Brandi. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be a tremendous help in covering Ryder's extensive vet bills and allowing him to get back to his happy, healthy self.
