Campaign Details
You may remember Jamie (now Pez) coming into AMAR from the Manhattan ACC three years ago. She had a cleft palate and needed surgery on an ectopic ureter. The surgeon decided the cleft palate was not impinging on her health and correction would only be cosmetic, but she needed the ureter surgery. It was only partially successful. Thank you to so many of you who made that surgery happen with your contributions.
She has been lovingly cared for by her foster family who is keeping her as an AMAR permanent foster. They renamed her Pez. She's almost 6-years-old. Now Pez has developed a blockage and needs removal of the kidney as soon as possible. The imaging showed that her left kidney is taking up about half of her abdomen and in fact isn't even a kidney anymore, in the sense that it's not functional and the cellular structure has changed. The vets are concerned about the space it's taking up and the potential for rupture, infection or abscess. She's had a history of UTIs stemming from this same issue. Surgery has it's risks, but it's been deemed dangerous to leave the kidney in. Surgery is scheduled for Monday, August 6th.
Pez is otherwise healthy, extremely happy, frisky and loving life! And she’s made quite a name for herself. She's very popular, has her own Instagram account, "instagram.com/beautiful.champion" and has lots of followers. She's taken part in several dogs with disabilities events because of her cleft palate. She's captured so many hearts and we hope that you will help her live a long and happy life by donating towards this vital surgery on our beautiful champion.
