Helping Jonny Walker

I just spoke to Amber which is in the Consumer Affairs Department at Hill's Science Diet pet foods. They are going to donate Jonny some food. All I have to do is let her know what Dr. David Kergosien recommends. I am awaiting a call from Trish so I can get this info. Is some great news or what?

That's excellent! I can't wait until his jaw and face feel good enough for him to want to eat. Beagles love food!!

Those photos are precious of Jonny and his little one! I am thrilled to hear he is out of surgery.

Can someone provide the link so that I may make a donation for his care? Thank you.

Here is the info for making donations. You will need to speak with Trish. Even if you wish to send in a check, please call and let Trish know.

refferance name Johnny Walker

And here is what was recently posted on Facebook about 45 minutes ago:

Although Johnny Walker did very well during surgery, he still has an uphill battle. He has intestinal parasites as well as heartworm disease. Once we get him through his jaw surgery he will require treatment of the heartworm disease. We will treat the intestinal parasites, too, but the heartworm treatment is not without the potential for severe complications. He is obviously a tough boy. We will take things one step at a time, and so far, so good!

Johnny does look like such a sweet soul. I'm so glad the PTers came together again for such a wonderful pup. Good job everyone, and Johnny, prayers for a quick recovery!

Those pictures with Trish and the Doctor make me so happy and sad at the same time... it's so amazing how someone can love a dog so much that they just met. It truly makes my heart ache... in a good way.

I think with all of us behind Johnny Walker, he will have the strength to get through this surgery, recovery, and the oncoming battles with the parasites in him. It's a tough journey, but with love, it's always a little easier

Just to let you all know mom is working on the youtube video and it will be posted within the next 30mins to an hour, maybe sooner

Excuse me, but I am confused. I dialed the number listed and got the clinic. A recorded message came on telling me to press 1 for an emergency. Is that what I need to do? Again, sorry for my confusion.
