Rocky my Tibetan Terrier's Veterinary bill
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Gavin, I am raising funds for my Tibetan Terrier - Rocky, for the Veterinary bills and care.
On Saturday 22nd April 2023 @ 7:30am, I took Rocky out for his normal morning walk before going to work. Unfortunately both Rocky, my Dad and myself were attacked by 2 dogs who were running loose, one was a XL Bully and the other was a Rotweiller. I fought with the XL Bully for about 10 minutes he had bitten him multiple times lots of blood everywhere. I thought he was dead as he went limp so I got my phone & called my parents for help. I carried on hitting & punching the dog, My dad then came & got Rocky but the dog attacked him as well. A member of the public distracted it & we managed to get him in our car. The dogs have been captured by the Police. We raced Rocky to our Vets, he has had an operation to stitch the multiple wounds all over his face and body, he has had fluids, painkillers and been heavily sedated.
Today, Tuesday 25th April 2023 the Vets allowed him to come home, he is very bruised and sore, he is still not eating, but both his mouth and neck were very badly wounded, bruised with multiple bites, so that is probably why he won't eat. We are having to take him back to the Vets for the driver for the pain medication to be changed. He also has bloody diarreaoh which could be from the attack or could be that the trauma and stress of the attack has set his pre-existing pancreatitis off, which was under control, or it could be both.
We have had to pay £2000 so far but the current bill is £3600. He is insured, but the limit is £3000.
Any help, however little would be very much appreciated, by Rocky, myself and my family.
Any additional funds raised will be donated to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, The Dogs Trust and Tibetan Terrier Rescue.
The whole incident has left us totally devastated, as Rocky is a member if our family. We all have a long road ahead if us.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and also Thank You in advance for your donation, it is very much appreciated.
