Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
A local shelter reached out that they had a baby who was going down hill fast, white gums and tongue, the shelter vet had found her full of worms, and it was likely that this baby would need a blood transfusion and if we could not get her they were going to put her down.
We have doxies coming out our ears after Sunday, but when we saw her sweet little picture and that she was only 2 months old, we would not let her story end that way.
Our intake team hit the field to get her and headed back north to Dr. Bruces Animal Hospital. The team at Dr Bruces examined her as we were hopeful that she was not so far gone that we could support her little system with meds vs. a transfusion, but when Dr. Valderama examined the little girl we are not calling Koala, her gums and tongue were stark white and Dr. Valderama immediately instructed the medical transport to get her to an emergency hospital.
The team at LeadER was alerted we were inbound and they were ready for us when we got there (<3) and got Koala right to the back where they confirmed that she was being eaten alive from the inside from an infestation of hook worms, round worms and fleas (her hematocrit - the portion of blood made up of red blood cells - was at 10.5 and should have been above 30) and the only way to save her was via a transfusion.
And so we are now on the hook for another $3,000 to save Koala and we hope, with all our might, that you, our community still have some love and support to give after we have asked for so much this week.
As always, every single dollar gets us closer to the funding finish line and even if you are not able to donate, we still invite you to share Koala's story as you never know whose heart you will touch! Thank YOU for being the fuel in our War Chest and making Doxie Dreams come true!!!
