I am passing this urgent message along from my vet, and personal friend, who is hoping to be able to help a family save their little 19 week old American Bulldog puppy Hailey.
From Hailey’s vet Dr. Jones:
Hailey has an intrahepatic liver shunt and needs surgery to tie this off. Her blood is bypassing her liver so there is no filter system and the toxins from the normal breakdown of food are accumulating in her body. In addition to this, food and nutrition is not broken down into a format that Hailey’s body can use. This disease essentially starves her and causes her to feel poisoned.
Hailey also has encephalopathy, a secondary condition associated with the disease. The toxins in Hailey’s system accumulate and affect her brain. At times she has no idea what she is doing or why, or where she is.
From Hailey’s family:
Hailey is our 19 week old American Bulldog puppy. We have recently found out that Hailey was born with a rare birth defect. To date the fees we have had to pay for hospitalization, exams, and testing amount to $2500. A Liver Shunt, Hailey’s diagnosis, is terminal if not operated on as soon as possible. Essentially what is happenening is that Hailey’s liver is not filtering her blood and she is being poisoned more and more every minute. The poison is affecting her entire system including her brain. She often goes into a daze and does not respond to any sound, movement or stimulation.
Hailey is on a variety of medications to help reduce the toxins in her body. She is on a special diet in order to get her as strong as possible for surgery.
Surgery for Hailey is about $2000 and we are doing our best to come up with the money and find a way to pay the $2500 we have already accumulated up in veterinary bills to get her diagnosis. If anyone is able to help/would like to help us save Hailey please email me for donation information at alisonkelly00@yahoo.ca. Anything helps and thanks so much in advance for taking an interest in Hailey.
If you’re on Facebook, you can join the Please Help Us Save Hailey group.
The Waggery’s Good Dog Blog is sending out lots of love and positive prayers to Hailey, her family, her vet and the wonderful team of animal care technicians who will be performing Hailey’s life-saving operation.
