At 15 years of age Buttercup looks and functions like the average senior dog. Her blood work looked good, she has a fabulous appetite, and no heart murmur was detected. She does however have severe dental disease and was coughing. We started antibiotics immediately to help with both her diseased mouth and cough.
Unfortunately, after 2 rounds of 2 different kinds of antibiotics there was no change in her cough, so a complete body radiograph was taken to try and find the root cause of her issue.
Sadly, our worst fears were confirmed today when the radiograph showed that both her heart and liver are twice the size they should be.
In order to help Buttercup feel her best, she needs to see our Cardiologist as soon as possible so we can start her on the proper medications – her appointment is scheduled for Thursday.
Our Vet bills are growing and sadly, donations are not — we need your help! We are currently working hard to pay down our vet bills and replenish our medical fund as it continues to dwindle.
The reality is as a Sanctuary for senior, and special needs dogs, our expenses greatly outweigh the donations we receive. We ask that you please open your hearts and dig deep.
100% of all donations go directly toward the care of the Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary residents.
