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.
