hi ,
On 31st October 2008, I was on my way to school along kaki bukit when I saw a rottweiler along the road divider. when my father and I made a U turn, she was already lying down by the road divider. She was so weak that she didn’t even respond even when i approached it. It was quite a miracle that she had not been hit by any oncoming vehicle as she lay around a road bend. Even I had to occupy a lane just to get the attention of oncoming cars, much less that of dog lying still on a road !!
my dad and i had to drag her to the side of the road as she was too weak to get up and walk properly.
My dad and I brought her to the vet. Kiya ( as we named her) has two main problems:
Kiya is suffering from heartworms. There are two stages, low and high and unfortunately, Kiya, falls into the latter category, her heart is already infested with heartworms and she needs immediate treatment. The approximate for her heartworm treatment alone with follow ups is $800-$1000. I have only two weeks grace before she has to go for her first treatment.
Kiya has very weak hind limbs due to hip dysplasia. Her femur does not lock properly into the hip’s socket and thus causes a her a pain as she walks. Only she will truly know the degree of pain that it causes her and I hope, with your help, we can reduce or even eliminate the pain altogether.. This surgery itself will amount to a minimum of a thousand.
Kiya is currently boarding at Mutts and Mittens. I am unable to take her home as I have 5 cats of my own. Kiya will be treated for heartworms first, then hip dysplasia.
Kiya is a very gentle and beautiful girl. She did not even bark throughout the entire rescue episode. I have been fostering and rescuing many kittens, and I have never sought help, much less financial help. For the first time, I am appealing for your help to help me save the life of this rottweiler.
Her picture has been uploaded into my facebook account under the picture album: Their haven. For those interested in adopting her or sponsoring part of her medical treatment, kindly contact me at 92279427 or fifafofum@hotmail.com.
Each cent counts and no amount is too small.
Yours truly,
Fifa
