Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Sometimes even the best intentions go wrong. Puerto Rico rescue faces many different challenges than we do here. Over the years we have done what we can to help those long and lows (and their friends that they sometimes bring along with them) who find themselves in need of help in Puerto Rico.
Sweet little Laredo is one of those that needed us. A kind woman
took in some strays and then took a couple more and then a couple
more and then was quickly fairly overwhelmed. DRSF was asked and
agreed to take a litter of 4 puppies that were with her that were
about 8-9 months old. Laredo was one of them. His front leg is a bit
crooked (we learned once he got here that it’s just the way he was
born) so we took some X-rays.
While the X-rays showed us that there was nothing to be corrected in his leg, they did show us a very big problem. Somewhere along this little one’s life, he ate something that he shouldn’t have and now it’s stuck. It’s too big to pass (and we still aren’t sure what this piece of metal is) and it can’t stay there. The only option is to have it surgically removed. He had a consult with Dr. Moore at Broward Veterinary Specialists and once bloodwork is back, he will have surgery to remove that metallic object from his intestinal tract.
Once all healed up, we will be excited to see Laredo in a happy
tails pic of his very own. We can't continue to support both the
dogs and the rescuers in Puerto Rico without you. Would you
consider a donation of any size to make it possible for us to say
yes to keep supporting them both?
