Day 11 of our 100 Days with 100 Dogs series brings us to one of our longer term care dogs. Dogs come us in all in all kinds of states, and all too often they need cleaning and any infections or ailments treating. When Brodie arrived he suffered from persistent ear infections despite repeated efforts from the vets and ourselves. These infections not only caused him a great deal of pain, but ultimately caused severe damage to his ears.
Eventually the situation was deemed so bad that we had to consider if we would be able to provide the quality of life that would be fair to Brodie. His last chance was surgery on his ears to block one up to prevent further infection. This would mean he'd be deaf in that ear, but represented our only option.
The surgery was expensive, but we proceeded and are pleased to report that it was a success and Brodie is now enjoying life again. The vet has now signed him off, but we now have to pay for the operation. We've set up a fundraiser to help cover the cost and have already received generous donations getting us almost a quarter of the way there.
Firstly we'd like to thank those who have already donated, and secondly ask that if you can spare even a small amount to contribute then that would be most appreciated.
