Kermit needs us.😢
Kermit arrived in Colorado from Houston, Texas this past Wednesday. This sweet 2-year-old French Bulldog is heartworm positive, but otherwise seemed to be doing well when he first arrived. On Thursday, he headed off to his foster home.
Unfortunately, things changed very quickly.
Thursday evening, his foster noticed that Kermit was having trouble breathing. We rushed him to the ER, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and immediately placed on oxygen and IV antibiotics.
He spent the night at the emergency vet, where his ER bill came to right around $2,000.
Kermit has since been transferred to our primary veterinarian, where we're keeping a close eye on him. If his breathing worsens or he declines, he'll need to return to the ER. Either way, we'll need to repeat his chest X-rays in about a week to make sure the pneumonia is improving.
And once he's through all of this, he still has heartworm treatment ahead of him.
We weren't expecting to have a $2,000 emergency vet bill for Kermit 24 hours after he arrived, but that's rescue. We say yes to these dogs, and then we figure out how to get them through whatever comes next.
Right now, we're hoping to raise $2,000 to cover Kermit's emergency care so far. Anything raised beyond that will go toward his follow-up veterinary care and heartworm treatment.
If you can help Kermit, we'd be incredibly grateful.

If you can't donate, sharing Kermit's story is a huge help. We have some unknowns ahead, but we're going to keep doing everything we can to get this little guy healthy.
