This
Jody, ARPH #10383. Jody is about 5 years old and as
sweet as they come. She is a very gentle soul whose
love for people is apparent from the first moment
she sets her amber eyes on you. She never lets on
how awful she must be feeling. In addition to an
abscessed wound in her neck which has been slow to
heal, both of Jody's ears are almost completely
blocked with tumors. The tumors are the result of
several years’ worth of chronic ear infections and,
as they've grown, they've blocked the infection in &
sound from the world around her out.
To
treat the deep seated infections and relieve Jody's
misery, she will need to have both ear canals
removed & the chamber behind her ear drums cleaned
out. This surgery, called a total ear canal
ablation & bulla osteotomy, can be done at the
Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary
Medicine & will cost approximately $2,100. That
amount is about 1/2 the fee charged by most private
veterinary surgeons but still a significant expense
in excess of ARPH's usual limit. Her surgery can be
scheduled just as soon as we have raised the funds
to cover it.
If

deductible channel, then can send funds directly to
