URGENT: Claude Galvez needs an ear ablation!
Poor little Claude Galvez; he is one of our adorable forever fosters. He has always struggled with one bad ear - constantly infected, even when cleaned every day. I wanted to get his ear ablated many months ago, but with all of the other URGENT situations and the economy, I held off. Bad mistake.
Several weeks ago, Claude developed a massive abcess underneath his ear - I mean it was horrendous - like the size of a grapefruit. That's huge hanging off the ear of a 20 pound lhasa boy. I rushed him to Stafford Oaks and Dr. Brady, one of the wonderful vets, immediately opened it up and flushed out the massive infection.
This is what it looked like after it was treated. Yes, that red stuff is an open wound!!!
Claude then stayed in the hospital for about a week.
Since then, we've been working on getting that huge wound closed up, but now that the hole is almost closed and his ear is still draining we MUST get that ear out.
I spoke with Dr. Heidi Hottinger, of Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists and she will do it
ASAP - as in TOMORROW, THURSDAY. The cost is $2600.
Please, please help us help little adorable Claude.
