I have to say I have been delighted with both the response to our "Change Lives" appeal for Doyle, and also the improvement in the Big Guy since we started his treatment. This is a hard one to judge, as the majority of the donations have been promised via Standing Order, and I won't fully see them until the bank statement arrives, but if they all come through I'd say we're more than 3/4's of the way towards reaching the £200 per month target. So Thank You All to everyone who has contributed.
Doyle is suffering from a horrendous condition called "Anal Furunculosis." The condition is one that I haven't personally come across before, but is quite well know to German Shepherds. Below is a link to tell you exactly what the condition is, but basically Anal Furunculosis is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that results in ulceration and inflammation in the area surrounding the anus.
What Is Anal Furunculosis?....
As the website above says, this condition can be treated medically, surgery is a very last resort, but the drugs are extremely expensive. This is where we need your support once again.....
It has been estimated by the vets that the cost of the drugs a dog of Doyle's size would need is £195.38 per month! We desperately want to give him the best treatment possible, but the sad fact of the matter is we do not have a spare £200 per month. Can you help?
