Replenish after Gypsy's eye surgery


This beautiful girl, Gypsy (formerly Liberty) came to us in early July. She was severely malnourished and trying to nurse EIGHT puppies.  She also had an awful Cherry Eye that was infected.  We tried oral antibiotics and antibiotic eye drops, but the infection came back.  During her spay, the doctor found she also had severe mastitis, and tried to repair the cherry eye.  While extremely strong antibiotics are helping the mastitis, the surgery for the cherry eye was unsuccessful. We took her to an Animal Eye Specialist in Kansas City, where she received a 2nd eye surgery.  In total we have spent over $2100 in vet care for Gypsy, which has completely drained our vetting account. We would like to replenish it a bit so we can continue to help other dogs. Thank you so much to those that already donated. Please share so we can continue our mission of saving dogs.
