My Rottweiler has had surgery for bloat! September 6, 2009
My beloved Rottweiler became ill September 1st, 2009, and we had to rush him to the emergency vet for surgery for the life threatening and very serious canine health condition, bloat. It is also know as GDV or gastric dilatation volvulus, and bloat is the second leading cause of death in dogs, second only to cancer.
After a successful surgery and a long recovery period ahead, he will require follow up care, prescriptions and a special diet. Needless to say, I am not a wealthy person. I do get by day by day, but the cost of the surgery (on loan) and just the few days of aftercare he received is over $3000.00 USD. This is something we will not soon recuperate from, and I suspect that his recovery will be much quicker.
I would like to report with a very happy heart, he is recovering and showing no signs of long term problems…he is a very lucky dog, and we are tremendously lucky to have him with us. He is still in pain, which is understandable, but we are managing with pain medication.
I understand that economic times have lessened the ability for people to donate when someone is in need. I understand that there are people hungry, and pets hungry as well. If you can assist me by making your skincare purchase or cosmetic purchase from my website, 50% of funds I get will be used to pay the loan for his surgery, and for his dietary needs and medication. 50% of the funds will be donated to a fund to assist others in need, in the event that they cannot obtain funds for their pet’s veterinary care at the Animal Emergency Clinic. There are many people that must make the decision to euthanize or put their pet to sleep because it is not possible to get a friend or family member to help them when money is tight, and they are not able to secure a loan for services. I hope to help someone not ever have to make that decision!
Please assist me if you can, by purchasing a Christmas gift from our Spa or Bath and Body line, or possibly a skincare item for you or a friend. We have a full line of cosmetics and mineral makeup as well.
Thank you,
Polly
