Red’s Life-Saving Surgery

Red is a 7-year-old bulldog and my favorite creature on earth. In November, he had a tumor on his gum line removed. The tumor turned out to be malignant, so on Dec. 18 he had another surgery to removed part of his jaw. 

On Dec. 22 we noticed something wasn’t right. We took him to the emergency vet, who said his stitches had fallen out. He had interior bone exposed and was at great risk for infection. They say he needs a total facial reconstruction. Without it, he has only about three days to live. 

The vet quoted us at $5,000, which is simply more than we can come up with on our own right now. People have been so good to us already and I fear I’m asking for too much, but Red is my best friend and he deserves a chance.
