Happy Hearts

Carol received assistance for her two cats Steve and Jelly who she had concerns one had a cold and the other parasites. Vet confirmed roundworms and treated both cats but found URI to not be at a level requiring medication. Both cats are presumed to be doing well.

Dot, although being homeless, takes good care of her two senior pups. She was very grateful for the assistance that H2H was able to provide towards the cost of boarding Gib and Elsie while she was hospitalized and later in a temporary nursing home.

Mari received help for her 6 year old Maltese, Annie, who had stopped eating and drinking, had blood in her urine, and found pooping to be painful. It was determined that the true issue was pyometra which the vet treated via pyometra spay. Annie is doing well after her surgery and Mari was very grateful for H2HPL's assistance.

Cris received assistance for her pup, Josie, who had a cyst near her tail that broke open and needed to be removed. Cris was happy to share that Josie is doing great and was very grateful for the helpful that H2HPL provided

Cheryl was very grateful for the assistance that H2H provided her pup/Geo who needed a dental as she would have struggled to afford it. She was happy to share that Geo is doing very well following her procedure and is back to feeling and looking great.

Tamara adopted Bruce just a little while back when she had a couple of unfortunate situations that resulted in significant health concerns. Bruce had a seizure following accidental exposure to lavender essential oils which dripped into his water bowl from a diffuser and a friend who was watching him let him eat a whole chicken breast bones included so there was some concern with potentially having an obstruction or ingested bone causing damage.

She ended up taking Bruce to an emergency vet and the vet was able to determine that his GI-issues weren't life threatening, more so caused by the large amount of chicken he ate, and that concerns for any potentially ingested bones was low. It doesn't appear that there were any concerns for last damage or future health concerns relating to the essential oil exposure.

Tamara was very grateful for the assistance that H2HPL provided Bruce, who was a neighborhood cat prior to being adopted as an indoor only kitty.

Ginger needed a dental and thanks to support from Heart2Heart, Sophie was able to have the procedure done on her beautiful pup. Sophie was worried because of Ginger's age but was happy to report the surgery went well.

Tina received assistance from H2H for her 12.5 year old cat, Elina, who inhaled baking soda and developed congestion and coughing fits. The vet didn’t find any concerns on examination relating to the incident but did find ear issues which were treated with medication. Sometimes one things leads to another and it is a good thing. Now Elina barely coughs and is busy looking pretty.

Kathy received assistance for her 2 year old poodle, Ella, who had luxating patellas and needed surgery to correct. Below is her update.

Kathy wanted to thank Heart2Heart again for the grant to support Ella's Surgery. She happily reported that Ella is recovering well, had her wrap removed from the surgery site, got her staples removed and now just needs the reminders to take it slow. Even though the road to recovery will be long and lengthy, she is well on her way!“

Joe received assistance for his cat, Beatrice, who wasn't feeling well. After being seen by the vet, she was diagnosed with diabetes. Joe is trying to manage, although financial concerns are an issue with the cost of insulin.

Brian was very thankful for the assistance that H2H provided in helping him with getting his dog, Boo, neutered at the vet clinic. Boo's neuter was routine and healed very well.

Unfortunately, not all stories have happy endings. Allie received assistance for her cat, Fred, who appeared constipated, was lethargic, vomiting, and not eating. The vet determined he had a urinary blockage which he had already received surgery for. The previous surgery didn’t resolve the issue so Allie was setting up a surrender for euthanasia. We are sorry for your loss.
