Campaign Details
We are really pushing and advocating for these two pets to have that second chance and we need YOUR HELP. Without advance medical care, no one will even consider them for adoption and/or rescue so these procedures are their only chance at finding their new homes.
Your gift will tell us IF we should help these pets or not. Without funding, we cannot help them.
Curly needs corrective surgery to close his cleft palate (2-3 inch gap in the roof of his mouth). Skin will be pulled from the front of his mouth and secured to cover the gaping hole. The surgery is a bit experimental but without even trying, he will never lead a normal life. His tongue will remain as is but the inside of his mouth needs repair work. $750 cost.
Gina's story is heartbreaking as she was found abandoned with maggots in her rear area. The maggots possibly damaged her sphincter muscle at the end of her bladder causing her bladder to not properly close. The other possibility for her dripping is that urine from her kidneys is somehow bypassing her bladder. Either scenario would result in her constantly dribbling.
Gina needs an intravenous pyelogram (contrast study that watches urine flow from kidneys to bladder) and a cat scan to see inside some of her organs to better understand her issues and help correct them. $900 cost.
We are hopeful that Curly's surgery will be a success but it's not 100% guaranteed. Likewise, with Gina, we are hopeful the diagnostic tests will guide the doctors to an easy next step to help her be at her best. It's possible for either pet, that depending on the results of their procedures, additional medical care will be needed.
