MAMA UPDATE

Hi Folks,

Mama got her much needed ultrasound that shows she has a 4 inch in diameter mass lodged between her liver and pancreas that could be causing her "bellie storm" and the needle biopsy shows it is not cancerous so that is VERY good news!!

Mama is now gaining weight with no problems which is also a GREAT sign.

The next step was to see a surgeon that could remove this mass and she was able to see one on Friday....the estimate for her surgery was $2500 to $3500!! This is not something that we can really wait on, Mama needs this surgery as soon as possible. While our main priority is to get these bullies the medical attention they so need and deserve we also have to watch our funds. I was able to talk with a surgeon up North in the Seattle area that has worked with CBRR for a long time and he said he could do the surgery for her and still ensure her safety, so I have transported Mama up North to be evaluated and get her much needed surgery on Wednesday.

Once she is well enough she will be transported back down to me for her after care.

While still not cheap by all means every bit we can save matters to the next bullie that comes in so we still need your help in getting Mama's surgery paid for.

I would also like to thank our rescue angels who have already donated to Mama's cause, she is so deserving of it, Mama is such a wonderful bullie girl and deserves to be well and healthy again.

Please check back on Mama's progress.

Welcome Mama

Mama is an owner surrender, she became ill about 3-4 weeks ago, her bellie doubled in size and her owners took her to the vet. Her bellie was so full of fluid she required an abdominal tap to remove the fluid in her bellie.

A lot of test, blood work and x-rays showed nothing of concern and her next step was a much needed ultrasound which her family could not afford and so they called me up and surrendered her to CBRR.

Mama has lost 10 lbs and is skin and bones, she is also loosing her muscle making her look emaciated even though she is eating. She needs an expensive ultrasound so the vets can see what is going on inside of this poor girl's abdomen. We know she has ASCITES but there are so many things that can be causing it that an ultrasound is her best option at this point.
She is a great girl, gets along well with other's and is just an absolute joy to have around. Can you please help her get her ultrasound?

Please check back for more details as they become available.

When she is ready she will not be shipped anywhere, please don't ask. Please have a current application on file before you contact us. Contact Kodie for additional information.
