Willow Needs Your Help

 

Help Willow with her Vet Bills

This sweetie is Willow, rottweiler puppy rescued from BARC, Houston animal control/City pound, at the end of July after all of her litter mates were euthanized.

Willow has spent her very short life in and out of a shelter, foster homes, and vet clinics. One minute is seems like she’s fine, the next she’s in an oxygen tent fighting for her life. Rottilove Rescue is footing the bill while vets try to do their best to make her healthy. Willow has pneumonia and an oxygen block in her lungs. This is a photo I took of her the day she was sprung from a certain death from the shelter.

The bills have really stacked up for the small, underfunded Rottweiler rescue group. They could use some help with Willow’s treatment. Bills for this little pup will exceed $1000. I’ve pitched in $100 and will try to do another $100 in September.

No amount is too small. Seriously, $5 can help! Donations can be sent to:
Rottilove Rescue, Inc.

Cedar Creek, TX 78612

South Beach Diet for Dogs

My 7.5 year old Rottie, Scout, blew out her ACL and will have surgery in a couple of weeks to try to fix it. In order to get her weight down (she doesn’t exactly have a girlish figure), the surgeon wants her to go on the South Beach Diet. I’m supposed to take the total amount of food she eats per day, then replace 1/2 of it with pure protein–low fat cottage cheese, chicken, ground turkey, tuna, etc. That total amount of food should be divided into 4 portions so she’ll have 4 smaller meals per day. I’m going to give it a go starting this weekend and see how it goes.

Scout will have tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery performed by Dr. Whitney at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists.
