Please help with Puddy's life-saving vet bills.

My name is Mary and I'm raising funds to pay for a life-saving operation for Puddy.

We adopted Puddy when his previous owner couldn't afford to pay for cruciate ligament surgery and he has been our much-loved baby boy for the last two years.

Puddy became ill last week and, after seeing our vet, was referred to Vet Specialists Ireland where he was found to have struvite crystals stones in his bladder and blocking his urethra.

They have twice tried to flush the stones but the ones in his urethra can not be moved.

This means that Puddy has to have surgery to try and remove the stones.

The surgery is very involved, risky, and expensive, but it is the only option now to save our little man and we want to give him every chance as we can't bear the though of losing him.
