This precious girl is Birdie and she needs our help 💜
Birdie arrived to HCC recently for her second chance at a beautiful life. She is a retired breeder mama who used to call a storage shed “home.” It is clear that in her 6 years of life, she has had many litters of puppies. We can’t imagine how tired she must be, yet remains a sweet little ray of sunshine.
After a visit to the veterinarian, it was discovered that Birdie has many health concerns that we are addressing and working through. This is why we need your help, so we can provide crucial medical support to Birdie and more dogs like her in the future! 💜
Here is the rundown of Birdie’s medical concerns we received:
diabetes with ketones (this means she is in a critical state), a severe ear infection in both ears, rotten teeth, dry eye, hookworms, and whipworms. She is also underweight at 12 pounds when she should be closer to 18.
Birdie is now getting insulin and speciality food to address her diabetes and she was spayed, which should help with hormone fluctuations that can complicate diabetes. Her ears were cleaned and she is now on treatment to clear her painful infections, her teeth were cleaned, and she was given medication to get rid of her worms.
Birdie is in a very loving foster home and is already feeling much better. This amount of care and medical treatment is only made possible by the generosity of our supporters like you! If you are able to donate to help us with the expenses of Birdie’s present and future care, we would truly feel so honored and grateful.
