Wendy Jackson hasn't added a story.
Some of you may recognize this sweet boy as East TN Pit Bull Rescue's Jericho!He has eaten his harness and is very sick!An angel pulled him out of a shelter in NC and when her health made it where she could no longer care for him, she turned him over to ETPBR. Just over a year ago, Jericho was adopted and became Diesel! His new mom is a truck driver and they have seen a lot of this country together. Recently, they have had a run of bad luck and they have been off the road for several weeks. When truck drivers do not log miles - they make no money! With the stress of an emergency surgery in an away from home hospital, someone else caring for Diesel, and Diesel suffering from some seperation anxiety - Diesel has developed some chewing habits. Friday, Diesel ate his harness. His mom tried to retrieve thrown up parts to make sure there was none lurking inside Diesel. She thought he was safe! All metal parts and most of the plastic was accounted for. They came in last night and Diesel had thrown up EVERYWHERE! He was unresponsive and pale! SO at 2:46 AM, I received a call from his frantic mom. She could not afford to take him to the vet let alone the ER! I asked her to take him to the ER on Ailor Ave (Knoxville Pet Emergency 865-637-0114) and called WB...A very sleepy WB agreed to call them and pay them so that we coould find out what was wrong. Blood work, fluids, and xray cost ETPBR $554.72. The vet said he has some infection and the xray shows SOMETHING in his bowel. They stabilized him and released him to follow up with our regular vet since they close at 7 AM and it was now 6:34 AM! I will call Butler's Animal Clinic to arrange follow up. We do not know if we need antibiotics and a laxative OR a surgery. We do know that we need FUNDS! Please help us help Diesel and his mom! You can do so by calling Butler's at 865-531-7311 to pay on the ETPBR account, or donating here or at PayPal (donations@etnpitbullrescue.org). Remember that your donations ARE tax deductible as ETPBR is a TN incorporated non-profit organization with a 501c3 IRS status! We appreciate your help whether it is thru funds or sharing!
