🚨🚨EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER. URGENT. 🚨🚨
Around 8 this morning I received a call from my trainer where Dolcetto is currently staying. He informed me that they needed to call the vet to take a look at him. He was showing symptoms of colic, which can plummet downhill in very little time if not addressed.
As I write this, I am on my way home from New Bolton Center who are taking him into surgery.
Things happened so quickly today I’m barely absorbing information. In the simplest of terms, his blood levels were very high and he seems to be impacted in and around his small intestine. Our vet isn’t certain of the severity or outcome until Dolcetto is under.
didn’t already know, he was born with us three years ago. We rescued his pregnant mother from a kp in Oklahoma, and she gave birth two weeks later. I was there when he first hit ground. He’s so, so important to me. A heart horse.
Given that he’s only 3 years old, I think he deserves a chance. I don’t want to give up just yet. I can’t.
As of now, the costs are looking to be in the $10,000-20,000 range. Just reading that over is making my stomach turn. I hate posting fundraisers more than anything, but it’s a difficult necessity with this job. This situation is very urgent and concerning. I’m doing my best to keep it together, but i’m really struggling.
