Abused Breeder dog needs-Surgery Cost Donations Needed by Tomorrow 11/9/07

CONTACT INFO AT END OF POST!

Friends

This is little Bogie. He's had a
really hard life. First with a breeder.

Then when he wasn't good enough for
that anymore, the breeder took him

to a high kill shelter. We were able to pull him with in days of him

being euthanized.




He lived most of his life in a cage in horrible conditions. We all know

what that does to an animal.

His back legs were very weak and he had a hard time standing up. When he

was finally able to, his little back was humped over and had bone spurs.

He had a horrible skin condition that caused loss of hair and a bad

smell. He also had what seemed to be an injury to his little pee pee.

I'm not surprised. His ears were
infected and he was very underweight.

Believe it or not, I was able to find wonderful foster parents for this

little guy.

I really thought his luck was about to change but unfortunately it

wasn't meant to be.

All of a sudden, over night, his left eye started to look bad. He was

taken to an eye specialist which confirmed our worst fears. Little Bogie

had glaucoma. That is a VERY painful eye condition. The doctor said he

just knew he was in a lot of pain. But Bogie is a real trooper and tried

to hid his pain. He was given medication and was sent home with fingers

crossed. We hoped that it was caught in time but it wasn't.


Bogie's left eye had to be removed.

That was about 2 week ago. He did so well during surgery but was in so

much pain afterwards.

He just whimpered and moaned all night. But within a few days he was up

and playing.




Ok now we just knew his luck was about to change. He was going to be

pain free and he still had one good eye so we rejoiced in that. But

again, luck was not on his side.

Bogie woke up last Saturday morning with his good eye looking bad. He

was taken to another eye specialist this morning. He was diagnosised

with a detached retina. He is, at this moment, at the hospital awaiting

surgery. It's scheduled at 4:00
today.

I know you're saying.....here it
comes. Well, yes, I guess you're
right.

I cannot pay for yet another surgery. I am just an independent rescuer

so I don't have the financial means
like a lot of the bigger rescues

have.


The doctor said this one is going to be in

the range of $2000...give or take.

They wanted a 50% down payment before they would do the surgery. They

will not allow me to have an open bill nor would they work with me on

the price. I HAD to (HAD TO) pay $1000 my credit card today and will

have to pay the remaining balance tomorrow when he's
picked up. I'm just

SICK and somewhat upset that this clinic will not work with me on this

payment. I was told it's the only
clinic that can do this surgery. And

yes, I've checked around and it's true. I don't
have $100 in my account

much less $2000.


This little guy so deserves a chance to be happy, pain free and to be

able to see with the eye that he has left.

If you can find it in your hearts to help me help this little guy, I

would so appreciate it.

Time is not on our side but he's
got to have that surgery one way or

another or he will lose this eye too.

There is no time for mailing checks into them. They want it now! So if

you want to donate, you can call your credit card into them. But here's

another kicker...they require a signature so they'll
have to fax you

some sort of credit card form to sign off on. Just like if you were at

the Mall charging something. You have to sign that paper. I know, can

they make it any harder for us to help this little guy. I'm
already on

the verge of tears.

He's at LVS
(Louisville
Veterinary Specialty) 502-244-3036


Please....Anything at all will help him.

We all helped Nicki when she was in need and I'm
hoping we can all do

the same for little Bogie.

Thanks to everyone and please forward on to your contacts. We really

need all the help we can get.

REMEMBER...TIME IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE HERE

Bev.
