Dog Rescue Dunedin rescued Chopper from the DCC Pound and are dealing with expensive medical issues. Please help us out!
Otago
Chopper is a 9 year-old desexed male Boxer/Lab who came to us in very bad physical shape and seems to have had a very hard life. His teeth are extremely very worn down (possibly from chewing out of boredom), he has large calluses that are most likely from kennel sores, and he is absolutely desperate for pats and cuddles. After many tests it seems that among his problems he has Cushing’s disease. His mobility is only reasonable, and he is having trouble with the end of his tail not healing, but otherwise his health has improved markedly since we got him thanks to lots of work from his fosterers and vets. We have had four of his teeth removed recently due to fractures and peridontal disease but the rest seem ok. So far he has cost a several thousand in vet bills. We may have to begin treatment for Cushings if his health deteriorates and that will cost $200-$300 per month. So we are seeking one-off donations and long-term sponsors for Chopper, and a nice permanent home where he will have lots of attention. Meanwhile his fosterers are having to make up for a lifetime of his missing out on pats!
