Turtles medical donation
Donation protected
Miss Turtle, a tiny, anemic, 6 week old puppy is undergoing a blood transfusion to save her life.
5 days ago (April 3rd) she turned up at the city shelter extremely anemic and with a large wound in her back.
4 days ago Pawmetto Lifeline took her in for their adoption program.
Immediately she won over the hearts of everyone who saw her. Two young women felt an instant connection with her and took her in as a Foster (to Adopt).
She had been doing well the past few days, gaining strength and making friends; eating on her own, and even learning to use a pee pad!
But, sadly, on day 3 of her being in foster, she had a seizure. Her heart rate had slowed to an almost stop, and suddenly spiked and was going extremely too fast; heavy breathing ensued as well. She was rushed to emergency care at Well Pets and had blood work done. Everything but her hematocrit looked good; she was then rushed over to the 24 hour vet to have a blood transfusion, which could save her life.
Doctors say she is fighting to live, that she's making immature RBC, but needs the transfusion to make it.
She's staying at the 24 hour vet for her blood transfusion, but other medical is seen for the future (X-rays, more tests, medications, and other treatments), due to her unexpected and rare seizure (for a puppy of her age).
This tiny little warrior is determined to make it! Will you help her adopters with her medical costs? Turtle is forever grateful and plans to pay it forward once she's healthy and strong!
