RED PAW ALERT - CHICO

Chico's Belly (Chico the IVDD Dachshund)

The Red Paw is up for little Chico. We spent the night at NorthStar VETS the other night, and today he remains hospitalized. His abdomen was distended and we feared the worst – a blocked bladder.  He surprised us with an abdominal blockage. Needless to say, this little guy was admitted for care and observation. We are so glad NorthStar is there for us and for Chico. This little fighter is battling back from a bout of IVDD and this setback is not an easy one for anyone on Team Chico.

Blood work, radiographs, IV’s, medications and hospital care add up quickly, but we know that saving him is important – not only to us, but to all of you too. Today we are hoping you can help us to get Chico through this crisis. We have received an estimate of $1200 but know this little guy is in the best place he can be. Please help us to help him.
Remember, generous support is desperately needed and greatly appreciated.  Like many non-profit organizations DRBC is a 501[c][3] operated solely by volunteers.  We have been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, re-homing and educating families about this breed for over 32 years.  We welcome and need your benevolent tax-deductible donation.  Please, help us to help them.

We are hopeful for a release and continued improvement for this little guy, but we need your help. Winter is especially hard on rescues, DRBC included. Please support Chico's fundraiser so we can continue to do this most important work.
