Times are undeniably tough, and we’ve encountered significant challenges in nurturing the health and well being of all the animals in our care. Yet, amidst the struggles, there are moments of hope that lift our spirits. When we hear a story like the one we’re about to share, we simply can’t turn away; it’s not an option for us 😢🐾
With heavy hearts, we introduce a new member of our family who is currently on a journey from Chania to Piraeus. His path has been filled with unimaginable hardship, having been tragically struck by a vehicle. However, thanks to the kindness of compassionate individuals, he has been granted a second chance at life.
This sweet boy bears a striking resemblance to our beloved Fidel, another resilient soul from Chania who has endured his own trials. Their stories tug at our heartstrings, reminding us of the pain they both have faced. Our foremost priority now is ensuring he receives expert care from a neurological veterinarian. With the right support, there is hope that he may regain the ability to walk, despite the severe spinal condition he is battling, which includes a comminuted fracture of the intervertebral disc. Additionally, swelling along his spine is affecting the movement of his front legs, but we believe that with cortisone treatment, there is a chance for improvement.
For the time being, our main focus is to keep him comfortable and as still as possible to avoid any further complications. We are dedicated to managing his existing pressure sores and attending carefully to emptying his bladder and intestines to prevent infections.l 🏥
The similarities between his journey and that of dear Fidel resonate deeply within us. Preliminary tests have been conducted, and we are currently coordinating with another veterinary clinic. In about ten days, we expect to perform an MRI, a vital step in understanding his condition. Unfortunately, this crucial test comes with a considerable financial burden, and we find ourselves reaching out for your support as we navigate this challenging path.
We are wholly committed to providing him with the love and care he truly deserves. However, the scans and tests will incur significant costs, along with the need for specialised pads, nutritious food, medication, and vitamins to strengthen his immune system. This rescue is fraught with difficult decisions and challenges, but we promise to do everything we can for him. We humbly ask for your help in covering these expenses, reaching out to you in this time of need, just as you have generously done in the past. Thank you for being part of our compassionate community 🫶🏽🤎🤍❤️🩹
