Urgent support needed for severe medical cases!

At Chance Animal Rescue Rofia cares for over 400 animals at her shelter and tries to never turn an animal away.

This week she has received 3 urgent and severe medical cases, and they come at the worst time possible as finances just to feed the animals are a struggle.

Please, if you can send anything to help all funds will go to these poor dogs, who are suffering purely because they were born as strays in a world where they have so little value placed on them.

SOME PHOTOS/VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC.

Case 1:

Celine is a puppy who found in the street ( somebody posted on social media and Rofia immediately stepped in to help )

She went to the vet for an ultrasound and X-ray with an expected hernia and fractures.

She has a severe fracture on her back as shown in the xrays - she has the chance of a full recovery but it will take time. She will need a physical therapy weekly plus a course of medication for months.

Unfortunately, no vet can do such surgery in Egypt so the only solution is to keep her on medicines in hope she can move again

She also has hepatitis and needs a full blood test ( Idex ) which is more expensive than other tests but it’s more accurate, and the team will start to give her all the vaccines soon once she finishes her antibiotics. The good news is she does not have a Hernia!

Her costs for the coming 3 months have been calculated as: $60 food and medicines + $105 (physical therapists session) so $165 monthly.

Case 2:

Poor Sereno was left starving and in deep pain, we can't imagine how people can see these animals suffer and go about their day.

The situation is worse than we thought; Once the team started to clean his wounds they found it full of maggots - it is unbelievable how he could survive but they managed to get him to the vet for a chest x-ray because he was suffering from shortness of breath.

For now we can’t do anything for him until his situation becomes more stable so he’s taking medication and he must go to the clinic on a regular basis to have steam sessions until he’s in a more stable condition.

Next, he needs analysis to check his liver and kidney functions. Unfortunately, a 4 dx snap test showed that he has babesia (blood parasites).

Case 3:

Sweet Billy was found in the street with canula.

The team took him to a specialist for x/rays and an ultrasound for an accurate diagnosis because the poor boy was screaming all the time and the team couldn't be sure what was medically wrong internally.

Based on the vet examination they found that he has several fractures in the spine and the vertebrae are intertwined, which prevents him from walking.

This is what causes him severe pain so he was immediately put on painkillers. He was also suffering from severe constipation and an inability to defecate but the good news is that he started to eat and the team controlled the ticks on his little body.

He’s under observation with a specific diet and daily medical routine, he will also start physiotherapy ASAP as well.

Next week he will be taken back to the vet next week for a check-up of his fractures.

Please help us save these defenseless, innocent lives Every penny really counts!
