🚨 We need your help with our medical babies. 🚨
We don't usually make posts asking for donations toward individual medical cases. We just do what needs to be done and figure everything else out along the way. But if we're being completely honest, this year has been really hard on us, and we're struggling.
And right now, we have several babies who need us.
Just when we thought sweet Momma Boogie was settling into life with her babies, she had an emergency. Boogie suddenly began vomiting. Her temperature was dangerously low, and she became extremely lethargic. We rushed her to VSS, where she spent the night undergoing diagnostic testing to figure out what was happening and receiving treatment to help stabilize her.
The answer was something called an intussusception. This happens when one portion of the intestine slides inside another portion of the intestine, essentially causing the bowel to become telescoped into itself. It can cut off blood flow and cause a life-threatening intestinal blockage, making it a true emergency.
Boogie needed surgery.
She was taken into surgery yesterday, and thankfully, she is recovering well. ❤️🩹 She is still in the hospital being closely monitored, but we are so thankful she made it through surgery and is on the road to recovery.
The estimated cost of Boogie's care alone is $4,900.
And Boogie isn't our only medical baby right now.
Our sweet little Dozer was just released from VSS today after spending two nights in the hospital for hypoglycemia. Another little life that needed intensive care, monitoring and treatment.
These are the cases that SNUGGLE exists for. The tiny, fragile, complicated babies who don't have anywhere else to go. We will never give up on them. This is what we do. We will keep showing up, keep fighting, and keep doing everything we can to give these babies the chance they deserve.
But we can't do it without you.
If you're able, please consider making a donation toward our medical care fund. It doesn't have to be a lot. $5, $10, $20 — every single dollar adds up and helps us continue saying yes when a baby needs us most.
Donations can be made through our website:
snugglepetrescue.org
Under the “Want to make a donation” section.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported SNUGGLE, shared our posts, donated, fostered, volunteered, prayed, or simply followed along with these babies.
We truly couldn't do this without you.
Please keep Momma Boogie and Dozer in your thoughts as they continue to heal. ❤️🩹
