Boxers and Buddies

A Medical / Special Need Dog

Help Jeter!!

On Saturday Boxers and Buddies Dog Rescue attended the annual “Pet
Blessing” at Lakeside Church, just like they’ve done every year for the
past four years. It is a wonderful and well-organized event. This year,
one of the adoptable dogs, Jeter
(http://www.boxersandbuddies.com/2011/09/jeter/) was playing and having
fun when he suddenly started to retch.
Volunteers watched in horror as he bloated. Jeter’s stomach was quickly
filling with gas and if the gas was not released immediately, his
stomach would turn causing intense pain and be deadly within hours.
A volunteer quickly rushed him to Klaich Animal Hospital where the
emergency surgery was performed to release the pent up gas and fluids
in his stomach and prevent it from reoccurring. Saturday night was
touch and go.
Sunday morning came and a visit to the vet and Jeter concluded that he
made it safely through the night and was greeting everyone with tail
wagging. His vet bills are already over $1200. Boxers and Buddies is a
non-profit animal rescue and desperately needs help to pay this
enormous vet bill.
Jeter was released on Moday, September 26 at about 2pm. He is doing well and although skinny, is happy to be out of the vet’s office. He is a loving playful boxer that still needs a permanent home.
