We just found a small mass on Tyson's leg. We've also been helping a sweet pup in the background. These two need to get to the vet. But FIRST, we need your help desperately to cover Magnum's surgery.

One week. $1,400. One life-changing surgery.

Magnum survived abuse, burns, a broken leg, and neglect that no puppy should ever experience. Through it all, he never gave up.

Now, Magnum needs a TPLO surgery to save his leg and live without constant pain. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we're almost there. We only need $1,400 more to reach our goal.

Without this surgery, Magnum's mobility will continue to decline, and he could ultimately lose his leg.

Every dollar brings him closer to comfort, healing, and the future he deserves.
Please help us give this brave boy the second chance he's fought so hard for.

❤️ Donate. ❤️ Share. ❤️ Be part of Magnum's recovery.
$1,400 left to raise • 7 days remaining

Together, we can save Magnum's leg. 🐾

With gratitude,
Pit Crew IL Rescue

🥥MCTs CUT SEIZURES BY 50% OR MORE IN SOME DOGS WITH EPILEPSY, WITH SOME BECOMING SEIZURE-FREE, RESEARCH SHOWS.🐶🧠

If your dog struggles with seizures, MCT oil🥥 is one nutritional strategy worth discussing with your veterinarian.

In a randomized, double-blind controlled trial, 3 dogs became seizure-free and another 7 had their seizures cut by at least 50% while eating an MCT-enriched diet. That’s 10 of 21 dogs, nearly half.
Another randomized trial added C8/C10 MCT oil directly to dogs’ regular food and found significantly fewer seizures and seizure days. Two dogs became seizure-free.

🥄 HOW MUCH?

In that study, MCT oil provided about 9% of daily calories. The average dog weighed about 56 lb and received roughly 1½ teaspoons per day, divided between two meals.
This isn’t a universal dose. Researchers calculated it based on each dog’s calorie needs, and you should introduce MCT oil slowly with food.

🧠 AND MCTs AREN’T JUST FOR SEIZURES.

As dogs age, their brains become less efficient at using glucose. MCTs can provide an alternative fuel source through ketones.

Controlled studies in senior dogs have found MCT-enriched diets can improve learning, memory and cognitive performance.

So even if your dog doesn’t have seizures, MCTs are an interesting nutritional tool for supporting the aging brain.
Look for an MCT oil rich in C8 and C10, which is different from regular coconut oil.

Only $1,400 Left to Save Magnum's Leg

We are in the final stretch of our fundraising campaign. With only 12 days remaining, we have reached 80% of our goal, but we urgently need your help to raise the remaining $1,400 needed for Magnum's life-changing surgery.

Magnum came to Pit Crew IL Rescue as a five-month-old puppy after suffering unimaginable abuse and neglect. He arrived with severe burns, a broken leg, a torn CCL, and other untreated injuries. Despite everything he endured, Magnum never stopped fighting. He continues to greet people with trust, affection, and a remarkable spirit.

Today, Magnum needs us once again.
Without surgery, Magnum faces chronic pain, worsening mobility, and the very real possibility of losing his leg. To give him the future he deserves, he must undergo TPLO surgery, a procedure that will stabilize and repair his damaged leg and allow him to walk, run, and live pain-free.

The total cost of his care is $6,500, and thanks to generous supporters, we have already raised most of the funds. We now need to secure the final $1,400 within the next 14 days so his surgery can be scheduled.
Your donation will directly support:

•TPLO surgery to repair and stabilize Magnum's leg
•Pain management to relieve months of suffering
•Post-operative medical care and monitoring
•Rehabilitation therapy to help him regain strength and mobility

Magnum is more than a rescue dog. He is a survivor. After everything he has endured, he still believes in people. He still seeks affection. He still has so much life ahead of him.
Today, you have the opportunity to change that life forever.

No gift is too small. Every donation brings Magnum one step closer to surgery, recovery, and the happy, healthy future he has fought so hard to reach.

Please consider making a donation today and sharing Magnum's story with others.

Thank you for standing with us and for helping the animals who need us most.

With gratitude,
Pit Crew IL Rescue
