Dino needs help :(
I daily visit the Great Dane Rescue in Dallas website to look at their available Danes. A GD is at the top of my dogs wanted list so I love to go look at them. I hadn't checked in a few days since I was busy with work and birthday stuff. When I just opened the website, my heart sunk at what I saw.
Dino needs financial or prayer help. Here's the story:
Dino bloated last night and is currently in a 24 hour emergency hospital.
(bloated 11-8-01) He has stabilized but his vet bill is skyrocketing! Currently at $550 and growing. He came in with his stomach as big as a basketball. He had a tube put down his throat into his stomach and luckily was able to be deflated. X-rays were performed and currently it appears he just bloated and did not twist his stomach. He is on IV's (gone through 3 bags so far), intraveneous antibiotics and 24 hour vet care. His bloodwork indicated he is extremely anemic and may have other complications (though he could be anemic due to hookworm/heartworm infestation). If you are able to donate funds towards his vet bill, we would greatly appreciate it! Please send checks to GDRNT, PO BOX 40425, Fort Worth, TX 76140-0425. Please indicate "Dino bloat" in the memo portion. You can also donate using PayPal. Thank you for your support of our organization and of Dino. UPDATE: 11-9-01 5pm...Dino has crashed twice in the past hour. He may need Plasma (at a cost of $200+ per bag --- he needs 3 bags worth) or emergency surgery (cost of $1600). Rescue has run out of funds...his bill is $700 already...can you help us help Dino? Update: 11-10-01 6 a.m. Dino is doing slightly better. He is picking his head up and went to the bathroom last night.
