The Last Resort Animal Rescue

We had pulled from a kill shelter in WV, at the same time, Cinnamon and Hope, a mother-daughter retriever duo who doesn't come any cuter. They were in foster care with the same wonderful woman together. Cinnamon appeared healthy other than an occasional sneeze and cough. We asked her foster mom to bring her right to the vet. She and her pup were loaded with worms, which was treated. For some reason the Vet there ignored the foster mom's description of sickness. By the next day, Cinnamon was very ill, not eating and lethargic. She was brought again to the vet, where antibiotics were prescribed. By that night, she was in the emergency room with a fever of 107, dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea. She was admitted to the hospital and several thousands of dollars later, was released, only to be brought back to the emergency facility again as she was declining and should never have been discharged. After final discharge, she was still somewhat sick, and brought to the regular vet, where she was sent home on subcutaneous fluids and different antibiotics, and thankfully has recovered from what appeared to be dog flu. Hope thankfully just had the sniffles, and with preemptive antibiotics never got sick.

We are always in need of funds for vetting, boarding (when our fosters are full), transport, emergency medical treatments, etc. Any amount is greatly appreciated!
