🚨URGENT🚨We received a call tonight about a dog in NJ who got into the kitchen garbage FIVE DAYS ago. He was brought to the vet by his family and they advised he had an obstruction and needed emergency surgery. They declined and brought him home-5 days ago. (Continued below)
Jake has been vomiting blood since then and hasn't eaten. Tonight, after being warned this would be the outcome, Jake's life is at risk. He is now in critical condition. Surgery estimate without complications is between 6k-7k.
We met his owners at the ER. Jake has not been cared about for much longer than 5 days. He has never had any formal vetting (vaccinations, etc,) is not neutered & 1 of his testicles never dropped which is a dangerous & painful way to live. He has been living like this for 3 years
His initial diagnostics show that he most definitely has a life threatening intestinal obstruction with a ton of foreign material that is not passing. He needs immediate surgery now. Jake is heavily matted and loaded with parasites and he is NOT VACCINATED.
If he does not get the surgery he needs, the risk would be death due to perforation. The more time that passes, the more damage that is caused. We are hemorrhaging and need your help. We are not letting him die. Please donate to Jake, he needs a miracle right now.
🚨UPDATE-Jake: We got a call at 3:00 am & were able to FaceTime with Jake & his ER Vet Team. Unfortunately because he was allowed to sit in duress for so long, his vitals are not stable enough for surgery (yet). #RescueDogs#doglovers (continued below)
Jake is being flooded with IV drugs to push his levels up to the safe zone. His team is anticipating surgery this afternoon, the moment is levels are stable he will be moved the the OR.
Many people asked if Jake is going back to his owners.
Jake is ours now, he was signed over last night to us, and we thank God for that.We need your help. We are 2500 short of the low end of his estimate. We have to raise this money so we can continue to rescue on. Please help us help Jake.
