Adrienn Saliga hasn't added a story.
We grew to love Héla very much. And she loves us unconditionally. We fed her well so she put on some weight. Her fur is now shiny and healthy. She kept getting better every day, she loves to play with us – in her sweet, clumsy way – and she always asks for hugs and cuddling.
Unfortunately her hip dysplasia is so severe that Héla needs daily medication of anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, which help her live a relatively pain-free life.
Last week however she got very ill, we were afraid that she had ileus of the bowel so we rushed her to the hospital. She was so bloated that the vet had to perform a gastric lavage.
The procedure cost us over $100.
The vet also suggested that Héla needs more tests, since she has lost so much weight lately, despite the fact that she eats and drinks a lot. We learnt that she might have a digestive disorder that is not uncommon in German Shepherds: lack of certain enzymes that help the body use the nutrients from food. The other possibility could be an autoimmune disease.
Poor Héla also has problems with her tear ducts that might require further surgery.
The tests and treatments she needs would be the following:
- Lab tests: apx. $100
- Eye surgery: $150
- Treatment for her digestive illness and dysplasia apx: $100 per month/$ 1200 annually (special medication and food)
Unfortunately our money has run out and we cannot finance Hela’s treatment any longer.
But we just can’t let her suffer and die – she deserves much better than that!
We are desperate for your help - not for ourselves but for Héla.
Any tiny amount would be a great help for us, and we can assure you that Héla would be equally grateful for your help. She already has suffered so much that we would love to give her a better quality of life that she deserves.
LELENC is a smaller sized, registered dog shelter in Hungary, working for nearly 10 years to help and rescue abandoned, tortured and abused dogs.

Any tiny amount counts!
Many thanks!
