Red Paw Update - Chico

Picture
Every year here at DRBC we rescue and rehabilitate doxies with IVDD [Intervertebral Disc Disease]. It is a journey we are all too familiar with as this disease strikes so many doxies. Chico is one of these doxies. He joined DRBC when his Mom could not care for him as her own health was in jeopardy. We thought it would be a typical recovery case and then we realized that Chico is having a great deal of trouble urinating.
Downed doxies cannot always realize that the are or are not emptying their bladder, but in Chico’s case it has been determined that the muscle controlling bladder release his in spam and would not let us express his urine. It was a real crisis. Medications were prescribed, but they are not working well enough. Chico needed a catheter placed so he can empty. It is very serious.
As we do so often, we rushed this little one to the hospital to help him get the care he needs. Today we are asking for your support of Chico. His bright eyes and fighting spirit have stolen our hearts and we know we need to make a difference for him.
Sadly, great veterinary care comes at a price. The deposit for his admittance was $350. The estimate indicated that the total cost could reach $750. Caring always comes at a cost. Today, we are hoping that you will have a dollar or two to throw Chico’s way; he needs your help.
Please stop, take a minute and help us to help him.
