Dogs with Special Needs

Charlie2 This sweet senior appears to have had a difficult life. He was recently neutered by one of our veterinarians and was supposed to receive a dental at the same time. Unfortunately, he has so many teeth that need extracted, the vet recommended that he see a dental specialist. He has numerous teeth literally rotting in his mouth. Can you imagine how much pain he must be in? OBG needs to raise $850.00 for all of his veterinary care including the extensive dental procedure that needs to be done so he can live a pain free life. We think that after 10 years of life, he deserves at least that much, don’t you?	Coco Puff Coco Puff has an undiagnosed central nervous system disease that is responsive to steroids. Currently she's on the meds and feeling much better. We're having bloodwork done so we hope the doctor can tell us more. She also has bad legs/knees so she has trouble walking up and down the stairs. Once she's feeling better surgery may be necessary for one of her legs. If you can make a donation to go towards Coco Puff's many medical bills, please do so today!	Donnie When Donnie came to us, his ears were in pretty bad shape. He had to have a double ear ablation and is now almost completely deaf. OBG paid in excess of $1500 for his surgery. Can you contribute towards his care?
Gladys Gladys is blind but it doesn't bother her a bit. She has a great outlook on life and enjoys every second of it!	Jack When Jack he first came to us he had symptoms that frequently coincide with Fanconi disease. He was drinking large amounts of water and had a high levels of glucose in his urine. He was very underweight initially and also had a good amount of wobbliness in his back legs. He has received treatment for the Fanconi-like symptoms and now there is no glucose in his urine and he can 'hold it' for 8 hours. There may be some minor kidney damage but it seems we now have him on the right track. The next mystery is why his rear legs give out on him sometimes. We need to have xrays of his spine and legs to better understand why this happening. Thus far, we have spent $1400 on his care and now we need another $300 to help diagnose his condition. He's turning out to be one expensive OBG pup! Since this boy is only 1 year old, we really want an accurate diagnosis so we can treat him and get him on with living a happy life. Can you please help us help Jack? Our supporters are the only way we can continue to give dogs like Jack the care they so very much need and deserve. Jack is very grateful to each of you!	Julie Julie is deaf but this doesn't slow her down at all. She was recently diagnosed with a mammary tumor. She is a true sweetheart with tons of love to give. Click for Video!
Kelsey When Kelsey came to us she could not see or hear. She has now gotten much needed surgery on her eyes, which corrected the eyelashes from growing inward and scratching her eyes. We are happy to report she now has limited vision in one eye! Daily, inexpensive eyedrops will preserve this vision. Kelsey is so grateful for her new peephole from which to view the world! Kelsey is on meds for arthritis and has a heart murmur. Kelsey would be honored to receive a donation to help defray the cost of her surgery. This girl will bring you lots of joy and happiness if you welcome her into your life! Click for Video!	Libby Libby occasionally has seizures but they are easily managed with medication. This is a great gal!	Maggie Mae I recently learned I have pancreatitis. I'm now taking pancreatic enzymes and an antibiotic that is helping. I lost a few pounds but I'm now well on my way to gaining them all back. I also have cirrhosis and I'm on a special kind of food to help with this. Can you please help offset some of my medical bills?
Quincy Mr. Quincy just arrived here at OBG and the vet wants to see a lot of him! Apparently Quincy hasn't gotten the care he's needed and we just learned he needs 3 separate surgeries. His back legs are in need of some attention. His left leg has a luxating patella and a torn cruciate ligament. His right leg also has a torn cruciate ligament. He also desperately needs a dental and needs 2 lypomas removed from his chest. We surely need to raise funds in order to afford these very much needed surgeries, the estimates for his back legs alone are around $4,000. Can you help Quincy get the care he so desperately needs? Adoption Pending	Rocco Rocco has been diagnosed with Cushings disease. He will require daily medication to treat this condition.	Scruffy Scruffy has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He continues to be a sweet, jolly fellow.
Snoopy When Snoopy came to us his ears were extremely infected. Unfortunately because his ears were not treated he required double ear ablation surgery. With your generous donations he just had his surgery and is doing great! He's a good dog, and very grateful that his years of pain are over. Thank you for making a difference!
