DEPP
CHAIN received a desperate plea from his owner, a 19 year old college student. Depp, a young pup, had developed great pain and could not pass urine, thus prompting Haleigh to bring him to an emergency facility at night. At that clinic, Depp was given diagnostic testing and subsequently was diagnosed with urinary stones in the urethra. He was given fluids and a catheterization, and a whopping bill of $1,050! His young owner was somehow able to cover this cost, but was left with no way to pay for the life-saving surgery he needed. The next day, he was brought to a local vet in Ocala, who opined that Depp needed $1300. surgery, and the poor girl could not afford it. CHAIN went to work raising funds to help, as did Red Rover and the SPCA of Marion County. Thank goodness, Depp was able to have his operation. Many kudos to Dr. Christina Collins, who operated without knowing if the entire bill would be covered (but it was!). He is home recuperating with a GIANT cone on his head. We were so fortunate to be able to assist Haleigh and Depp, and wish him a long and happy life 🙂
