Rocky update
2 March 2016
Hi everyone. Rocky is still keeping his parents on their toes, and is still fighting to spend lots more time with them. The vets have been very impressed with how well he is handling the hurdles thrown at him and he still has so much spirit and will to live. Rocky recently celebrated his 12th birthday which was a huge milestone for him (See the pics added to the gallery) Adam, Kirsten and Rocky have also just had a very special photoshoot done with Kim at Tall Tails Pet Portraits. They are currently saving to be able to purchase these photos and they will be treasured forever. (Have added a sneakpeak to the gallery)
Rocky recovered well from his splenic surgery in January, however unfortunately in February Rocky’s heart disease progressed to develop an abnormal rhythm known as Atrial Fibrillation. Rocky’s owners and the vet team are now working hard to try and stabilize the heart again. This has involved further specialist cardiologist appointments and more expensive tests and monitoring, as well as introducing 2 new medications and herbal supplements.
The contributions that have come in through this page so far have been amazing and such a big help to Adam and Kirsten to allow them to keep up the ongoing treatment for Rocky as they work through paying off all the vet bills and mountain of debt that is accumulating. We have managed to raise almost a ¼ of the medical expenses so far – with this page closing in a weeks time I really want to make one last push. Can we get to 5k?
Every bit helps guys, thanks so much!
