Support Miloh's Surgery and Recovery
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
As you all know, Miloh has been with us for the past 7 years and is part of our family. Miloh hasn’t been himself for a few months now. His prostate was extremely enlarged which led us to getting him neutered. Promptly after that we had to make a few trips to the vet due to him not being able to defecate. They sent him probiotics, stool softeners, X Rays and the vets still didn’t know what was going on with him.
Due to the severity of it, the vet told us to take him to the ER. They did more x-rays, ultrasounds & other tests on him. They were finally able to tell us that he has TWO perennial hernias. A perineal hernia in dogs occurs when muscles in the pelvis weaken, allowing organs like the bladder or intestines to protrude into the area between the anus and scrotum & this is the reason for his constant constipation.
He has lost weight & clearly it’s affecting his everyday life. He will need surgery and after care for a good recovery. Vet visits, surgery and medicine can be very expensive.
If you find it in your hearts to help us by donating that will be greatly appreciated. No contribution is too small, or even sharing with Family and friends will be huge help. Thank you so much.
We want to be able to have Miloh with us for way longer. This is definitely something that took us by surprise, and it’s something that we want to get done prior to Juan’s deployment.
Thank you for all of your support!
