Nobody is ever "ready" for tragedy, it just happens. When you least expect it, when you are least prepared, when things seem to be going well... tragedies can happen.
Our Handsome Stoli is currently suffering from unexplained trauma. Stoli was a dog who came to live with me in 2007 after his owner passed away in a vehicle incident. He had been here for two years when I decided it was time he find a family to call his own, to sleep with, play with and protect. What a gorgeous young dog, truely just beautiful, happy and healthy. He was placed into a new home thru referral of a friend on the first of February 2009. Within the first week, Stoli began showing symptoms of spinal trauma; wobbling, inability and discomfort upon rising, dragging his hind feet and knuckling over. His crying out, incontinence and rapid progression of his failing rear had his *new* owners return him to me without any diagnosis or report of anything "happening" to him during his 2.5 wk stay with them..
Veterinary Specialists are managing Stoli's condition as best as they know how.. Stoli's care has gone from tremendously exciting, a vibrant three year old male Bullmastiff with a heart filled with kindness and gentle love... to exhausting, a boy who can barely get up and walk to the yard and back.
Currently without diagnosis, Stoli suffers from spinal discomfort and neurological dysfunction, compromising his rear mobility and disabling him nearly 100%. His care and immediate medical needs exceed our current financial capability. His prognosis fortunately is good to fair.. improvement has been noticed in just the two days of his return home. Stoli's rear mobility is less uncoordinated and much more significant, just two days ago he was dragging both rear legs till his feet were bleeding. Now with assistance and proper care and housing (thank goodness he was returned home!!!) his legs are under him, he's able to stand, foot placement isn't correct but he's giving it his best shot. He refuses to give up now that he's back "home"!
Stoli's heart is big enough to walk on it's own. He's a three year young Bullmastiff, gorgeous, kind, tremendously animated and gentle. His current physical condition is heartbreaking and possibly temporary due to trauma (?). Could time, rest, proper care and medical attention help Stoli to recover completely? In just three weeks he went from an almighty mass of muscle who never had a bad day, to a handicapped heart throb who hopes there is enough help out there for him. Please help us with a bit of Stoli's medical costs!
There isn't a more deserving guy. Stoli's life has only just begun...he will stay here with us to have the BEST life we can offer him whether he heals completely or remains "handicapped". Thank you for your consideration... Updates will follow!
Hugs to Stoli!!
more.... Last Saturday (February 20th) Stoli has met with the neuroligist in NJ who he visited before. I am thrilled that my help "goal" has been nearly met, please CONTINUE to donate..maybe Stoli can reach the goal of an MRI to diagnose completely what is going on to cause his this incredible discomfort and immobility!! For now that is way off (financially). His immediate care is now possible with your help. Thank you thank you thank you.
With your help we will be able to continue treating Stoli and his immobilization. Each day he HAS shown a 1 or 2% improvement. I am positively motivated to get Stoli back on his feet. THANKYOU for your support!!
