Meet our adorable pup, Piglet! This little one appears to have been attacked by a large dog at the hoarder home where she lived before coming to rescue. She has a bit of facial paralysis and a droopy eye due to an injury to her nerve, and lopsided ears which just make her even cuter than she already is! But unfortunately, the one condition she cannot continue to live with comfortably is the damage that was done to her ear canal.
After consultation with a specialist, Piglet is set to undergo a surgery called a Teca-Bo, which stands for Total Ear Canal Ablation and Bulla Osteotomy. The surgery involves the complete removal of the ear canal and the tympanic bulla (middle ear), leaving only the external ear flap (pinna) intact.
We have received a very generous rescue discount, for which we are extremely grateful, but we are still looking at +/- $3000 to help our little girl live a pain free life. She has no neurological deficits and is your typical happy, playful puppy, so she deserves every opportunity we can provide. Weβre grateful she landed here with us so we can make sure she gets the care she requires, but these unplanned expenses are tough on a small home-based rescue like ours.
If you are able to donate towards Pigletβs surgery expenses, we would be so grateful. And if you canβt donate, we understand, times are tough for everyone! A share would be amazing, too. And sending well wishes and positive vibes for Piglet are also deeply appreciated. Our Paypal is [email protected], our Venmo is -Rescues, and you can also go to our website at www.roadtriprescues.com and make a donation there using the donate button.
Thank you, with much gratitude from Piglet and her RTR family!
