On a day out, Precious and her family came to check out Pet-A-Palooza, and learned that Fur Kids Foundation provided help for veterinary bills. We could see how much the family loved Precious, and when we learned how tight their budget was, we were more than happy to help out.
Precious was taken to Thunder Basin Veterinary Clinic for a checkup. There, they learned that Precious had a hernia, as well as some bad teeth that were going to cause problems in the future. While Precious was sedated for the hernia procedure, Dr. Scott Worden also spayed Precious to keep her healthy for the family even longer. We are simply thrilled to report that Precious is doing amazing, and has a long and happy life ahead of her. We also want to give an extra special mention to Scott and Lois Worden of TBV, as they donated a lot of their time and services to go the extra mile and help this family out further. The Gillette community is simply amazing and so supportive of our mission. We could not help the families that we help without your continued support.

Bonez was very fortunate that things didn't turn out worse. After a drainage tube in his neck and leg, one cast, and at-home therapy on his leg, he has made a huge recovery. Bonez still has a long road ahead of him, but it sure is looking up for the little guy.

After an extensive examination and some x-rays, Dr. Warmuth found that the mass was a very large bladder stone (1/4 of a pound)! (It's hard to imagine such a large stone in a 15 pound dog!) It was so large that it had caused Pongo's bladder to become very inflamed and extended. If the stone moved at all, it would have killed Pongo.
Surgery had to be done immediately to remove the stone and get Pongo's health back on track. After the stone was removed, RHVH used laser therapy to help relax the bladder and start the healing process. Because the family was in the process of moving, they were low on funds to cover the unexpected cost of Pongo's surgery. Fur Kids Foundation stepped in to make sure Pongo and her family stayed healthy and happy. We are happy to report that Pongo was able to go home a few days and now continues on with her normal routine of laying around the house and playing with her family. Please know that Pongo's bladder stone was only found because her family had scheduled an annual check up. Just as annual physical exams are recommended for humans, they are recommended for our pets as well. If your pet is older or has medical problems, he may need even more frequent examinations. Preventing disease or catching it in its early stages is far better than treating it once it has had time to progress to a more severe stage. Preventive health care on a regular basis will help you do just that, and save you and your pet from needless suffering and a larger financial burden.

This little purrmonster is Nakita. Nakita's family saved up all of their money to have Nakita spayed. (Yay for keeping pets healthy! Check out some reasons to have your pets spayed here.)
Shortly after the surgery, Nakita's mom noticed that she wasn't able to go to the bathroom. Nakita was given cat laxatives in hopes it would help out, but she still didn't seem to be herself. The family brought Nakita into Gillette Pet Vet Clinic for a deep enema (yeeek), but after doing x-rays they found that Nakita was no longer backed up. Fur Kids Foundation covered the cost of the x-rays and meds. And, we've learned that Nakita is feeling much better, and is acting like her typicall kitten self - you know, pouncing, playing and purring!

His parents brought him back into AMC where they found that the elastic from the shoe had rubbed his intestine raw, causing a lot of damage. The vet had to remove between four to five feet of his intestines.
Onyxx's parents just welcomed a baby girl into the family, and one of his parents hasn't been able to work since early January due to an injury. We stepped in to help them pay their fur babies medical bills. We are very happy to report that Onyxx is doing fantastic and enjoying playing in the snow that fell the last couple of days.
