Help this chocolate boy
To assist to pay for emergency treatment following haemorrhage after routine castration for Mede our Labrador pup.
Taranaki
Mede is an 8 month old purebred choc Labrador retriever. He was adopted by our family after losing our 14 year old lab. Sadly we discovered he had entropian lower eyelids so have been saving to get that done. Yesterday was surgery day and as it would be irresponsible to breed from him I decided to neuter him in the one treatment but Its been a horrific 24 hrs with Mede. His castration surgery has ended up being a nightmare. It went well but in recovery he haemorrhaged badly. They bleeding wasn’t being controlled so they have given him plasma transfusions, vit k and fluids and things were not looking good. When they rang they believed he was not going to make it but would do their best. Several vets have worked through the night and he’s made it through. Is awake and alert but very very sick. He’ll be there for some time yet.
The bill is over $3k so far.
Insurance has declined as castration is deemed elective and therefore any complications are not covered.

As good as new 29 January 2022
Mede has been home over a week now and is bouncing back so quickly. We’re waiting on blood test results to confirm haemophilia so will be good to know for sure. He’s eating well, playing and being as cheeky and naughty as ever
