Emergency Donations Desperately Needed for Puppy Heart Surgery!
**Emergency Donations Desperately Needed**
New Hit-By-Car Puppy Billy Needs Your Help!!!
Billy is a mix-breed, 4-month-old puppy that we just rescued from the Downey, Los Angeles animal shelter yesterday.
Billy has a broken pelvis and a torn ligament in his leg from being hit by a car, but these injuries are, ironically, the smaller of Billy's two major health issues.
Poor Billy has a VERY SERIOUS heart murmur. Our general vet rated it a 5 or 6 out of 6 (meaning he was given the highest measurement they have). Our vet suspects that Billy likely has a congenital hole in his heart. We've scheduled an appointment with a cardiologist to confirm this diagnosis, but if our general vet is correct, this means that Billy will need MAJOR heart surgery to fix this issue.
And all of this is before we even tackle his orthopedic needs, which could include more surgery and physical therapy!
If we want to save Billy's life with open-heart surgery, it is likely going to wipe out Camp Cocker Rescue's medical funds for the whole month of September. We are truly and desperately in need of the Camp Cocker Village to rally and help us raise the funds needed to take care of Billy and any other cocker spaniel with medical needs that we may rescue in the near future.
Please considering donating toward Billy's care. We know he's not a cocker spaniel, but he is already shown to be such a joyous and loving puppy. We can't imagine a world without him!
Remember that every dollars counts! If everyone who sees this donates, even just a little, it can go a long way to saving the life of a dog like Billy!
Thank you so much for your support!
