On Dec 24, a family asked SoCo Rescue to help a little Dachshund pup that had been struck by a car. Just a few days earlier Little Dasher (pictured) and his two sisters had been found living in a wooded area by the family and given temporary refuge. On Dec 23, Dasher suffered his injury and the family knew he needed medical attention.
Dasher was examined and x-rayed by a vet on Dec 26 and found to have “a very nasty break” to his femur. The vet also has concerns that Dasher may have suffered some nerve damage. The examining vet found Dasher’s injuries so severe that they did not feel they could properly treat him but did administer and prescribe pain medications.
A copy of the x-rays were forwarded to our vet who also agreed that treating and helping Dasher would require extensive surgery and possibly a lengthy hospital stay. An estimated cost of $1,600 was given for the cost of Dasher’s vet care.
For the time being, all we can do is keep Dasher on pain management meds while we attempt to raise the funds for his treatment. Because of the care needed, we will need to raise the total amount of Dasher’s care before he can begin his vet care.
Donations for Dasher care can be made through this dedicated Fundrazr app, sent directly to our vet’s office (contact info below) or made to SoCo Rescue. Please list “Dasher” as the purpose of your donation.
