Emergency Care Needed 

  

Eva was born with a condition called megaesophagus that causes her to regurgitate all of her food after eating. Although Eva is doing okay with her feeding regimen, she should be keeping her food down and gaining weight better than she is.  Eva has an appointment at Va. Tech vet school in January for more specific blood work, scoping of her esophagus, and swallowing tests. We are hoping that this will enable us to fine tune her eating plan so that she gets maximum benefit from her nutrition.  In spite of her condition, this spunky little girl has so much puppy energy, love, and the will to live.

 

We are seeking donations to help defray the cost of this visit!

Can you help us help her? 

Any amount will make a big difference. Checks may be sent to our PO Box with a notation for "Eva." You may also use the donation link under her write up in “Available Dogs.” Click on her picture and there is a link at the bottom of her write-up for donations. Check out her Facebook link too!

Thank you.
