Buddy's toe update

Update: Dr Carr just called and after they knocked him out for surgery he was able to examine him better and he says that there are tumors all the way up his leg and he says that he doesnt think amputating his toe is going to make any difference and amputating his leg is to aggressive since it’s already spread to his lungs. There isn’t anything he can do for him. He doesn’t have a lot of time. I’m so so sad! This sucks.

I’m at Dr Carr’s this morning with Buddy to get his toe amputated. Thanks to the Love and Care of his foster parents, Niko and Deanna Huffman, Buddy’s foot looks a lot better already.

Waiting at Dr. Carr's clinic.

They were able to get most of the swelling down which will make it much easier for Dr Carr to do his job. I think he will feel much better once this tumor is gone. Our plea for funding to help pay his medical bills only brought in under $200. His surgery and after care is going to cost us thousands, so again, I ask you to consider helping us save this very sweet boy’s life and give a little this holiday season so we can give Buddy and other Rotties, the medical care that they desperately need!

Amara is gaining weight.

Two weeks ago we rescued an emaciated Rottweiler that we named Amara. She weighed 44 pounds at the time and I’m happy to report she has gained at least 15 pounds since then!
