Help Dexter the dog on his road to recovery
2 Months ago Dexter was healthy and happy. Now he is starving before our eyes!
Auckland
This is Dexter. 2 months ago he was healthy, happy and ready to play at the drop of a dime.
He started losing weight at an incredible pace despite having a healthy appetite.
He was starving to death before our eyes.
He lost 12kg in under 4 weeks.
Dexter has a condition called Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), a malabsorption and maldigestion condition where the pancreas is no longer producing enough pancreatic enzymes to digest fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
He needs treatment of the right balance of pancreatic enzymes with every meal (currently 4 meals a day), an agreeable diet, B12 supplementation along with appropriate small intestinal dysbiosis (SIB) management with prebiotics, or prebiotics with probiotics, and antibiotics to get SID under control.
We are a family of 4 (and 2 doggos) with dad as the single income and mum studying.
Our family greatly appreciates your support with Dexter's road to recovery.
Use of funds
The funds will go towards the vet bills, lifelong medications and special food to help him get his strength back.
