Izzy was rescued by GSRCA from BJC Animal Control July 29, 2010. She is a 3 month old puppy found as a stray that no one reclaimed. She is just a living doll!
But right now, she's very sick and in the doggy hospital being treated for severe pneumonia.
Most dogs coming out of crowded animal shelters have Kennel Cough (KC) and that is something we have come to expect. It just goes with the territory of rescue. A dog with KC can be mildly or severely sick and the level of vet care is as varied as the severity of each case.
Izzy could not shake kennel cough with the usual treatments and antibiotics to prevent pneumonia. She became critical August 17th and required hospitalization and oxygen therapy.
Our estimate for just 2 days of treatment is ~ 1,000. At this point we are not certain how long she will be there, but it will be at least 2 days. That's more financial cushion than GSRCA had given how ill many of the dogs we have taken in this year have been. With the economy as it is, donations are down for most non-profits, including us.
We are committed to Izzy, just as we are to every dog we rescue. Her condition is curable and with the help of her vets and your donations, we will do everything within our power to see her through this.
That's why I started this First Giving page. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
