Canelo Needs To See A Specialist!

The vet called me this morning ....

Canelo had been taken off of meds for two days, but the coughing came back just as strong as it had been when he was first admitted to the hospital eight days ago. His little chest is heaving, yet his lungs are clear. I'm sure glad I opted to keep him at the vet that extra day. It was important to know this.

There is no more that my vet can do for him; he needs to see a respiratory specialist. A sample needs to be taken from the lungs to see what is going on. But Critters in Need Pet Rescue, a group made up solely of volunteers, does not have the $1,000 to pay for this procedure.

Canelo will be released today to his foster home with prednisone and cough medicine. I'm hoping these new meds will help manage the coughing. It's important that scarring of the lungs does not occur.

But pred can only be used for a limited time, so it's important that Canelo go to the specialist as soon as possible.

We need your help to raise the $1,000 for this procedure. Please click here to donate.
