Cooper was abandoned by his mom, having already lost his dad and his health. A kind neighbor stepped up and took care of him, feeding him and keeping him company, she knew she needed help and contacted SSRI. He came to us with his nails growing into his paw pads, hair loss, raw skin, matting, and blind. Shortly after arriving at his foster home, he was taken to the vet for initial treatment. Due to his pain, especially from his ears, he had to be sedated to be examined.
Cooper has numerous health problems that he needs our help with.
He has chronic allergies that have led to severe skin and ear infections. He’s had allergies all of his life, but without proper care they’ve gotten out of control. This has caused hair loss and raw, painful patches of skin. Some of the worst patches are around his eyes. The vet gave him steroids and antibiotics, and was able to shave off several of the worst mats.
Second, Cooper has glaucoma and retinal dysplasia. It has been left untreated, and has become a painful problem for him. He will need to have his eyes removed. This won’t be able to happen though, until his skin infection around his eyes has been healed.
Third, for our boy? His weight. Ever since he was a puppy he has struggled to be a healthy weight. Right now he is obese, and will need to go on a diet and exercise plan to help get him to be a healthy, happy weight.
We will need your help with Coopers vet bills. This poor boy, who is already feeling relief after his initial vet visit, will need more medications, vet visits, and surgery. SSRI and the vets believe that Cooper will be able to live a full and happy life if he can get the help he needs! Will you be a part of this boy's recovery?
