RESCUE NEWS
Louie Update - February 1, 2008
Louie finally had surgery last
night to repair his broken hip. The surgery did not finish until
midnight. Louie is now resting and starting the long recovery
process. He will remain at the Animal Medical Center of East County for
several more days and then go to his foster home to get strong
again and continue rehabilitation. If you would like to make
a donation for his care using a credit card, you can call the
Animal Medical Center directly at (619) 444-4246.
Louie Update (He Still Needs Our Help) - January 31, 2008
Well Louie has not had surgery yet. He was found to have broken ribs that are affecting his breathing. His doctors want to wait until he feels a little better before putting him under. Surgery will be ok once his ribs have healed a bit and he can breathe easier. The poor boy is such a trooper and a very brave soul. He gives Jerri little kisses when she comes to visit him and has been getting better over the week. We think he will now have his surgery on Friday, February 1st.
Louie will need to be in the
hospital for at least 1 week longer then expected, so the bill
is going to be higher...probably closer to $2,500. We have received
a tremendous response from our many supporters and have now received
over $900 in contributions. Thank you very much! Tax deductible
contributions can be sent to Basset Hound Rescue & Adoption,
P.O. Box. 601304, San Diego, CA 92160. Include a note that the
donation is for Louie's medical fund
Boy this is no fun at all! I can't wait to get fixed up.
