Florida CHAIN saw a post asking for immediate help for this pup in Lecanto.  It had been vomiting, possibly with blood, and had lethargy and diarrhea for a couple of days.  Due to severe financial restraints, the owners could not afford vet care.  We sent the dog to Humanitarians of Florida and it was determined that she had pyometra and severe hookworms, and needed prompt surgery and treatment.  HOF was unable to do the surgery, but the Marion County Humane Society came to the rescue.  Ghost had her surgery that same day, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Zimmerman, who came in on her day off, to help.  Ghost is back home now, and the owners have been instructed proper care for her moving forward.  We are happy for the outcome, and wish a long and happy life for Ghost!

 We can not thank The Florida Chain and the Humane Society of Marion County enough. If it was not for them I am not sure what we would have done to save our dog Ghost. When we woke up to her being sick we were immediately concerned for her safety, but due to recent changes in income we were unable to afford to bring her to the vet immediately.  Linda with The Florida Chain wasted no effort in ensuring that she would be seen by a vet asap. From there we found out she needed surgery, The humane society of Marion County quickly reacted in making sure she could get the surgery. After only a few hours we received a phone call that Ghost was doing well and the surgery was a success. We will without doubt be doing everything we can to help raise awareness for both of these organizations. They truly went above and beyond. Thank you from both myself, and my fiancé.
