Say hello to Delgado Barker - who has a huge abcess!!

Meet Delgado Barker, another rescued from Houston's BARC shelter.  What a total mess. 

 

Emaciated, matted, eyes matted shut with pus and a small fluid-filled tumor on his back. 

He was deathly thin when he first came to us so we concentrated on getting some groceries into him. 

Finally, last weekend, we decided the fluid-filled tumor was growing too large and ran him to the vet.  The tumor turned out to be a pus-filled abcess.

Our vet had to open the abcess and clean it all out.

These are the kind of things the general fund are for.  I expect this to cost $400-$500.  He has been hospitalized for a couple of days and will need to stay until this open wound heals.

If you would like to donate to our general Veterinary fund to help with cases like Delgado and others, please GO HERE TO DONATE WITH PAYPAL.

Go HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION FORM for any of the dogs.  Fax it to me at 713-583-7816.   Or if you want to send a check, just go to the PLEDGEFORM  and we'll count it immediately.
