UPDATE: Holmes is in foster care! The reports are that he is AWESOME! Totally trained. Fine with cats. LOVES the ball. He just needs to get that mass removed!
UPDATE: We have a date for March 16th at UC Davis for the surgery to happen. PLEASE DONATE towards Holmes' vet bills if you can!
This is a terrifically nice, gentle, happy dog. A purebred Weimaraner who came in as a stray to the Lake County shelter. An owner was located, but he said "keep him" because he didn't want to pay any vet bills. When asked why he didn't take him to a vet for the huge tumors, he said "I thought they would go away". He has a massive fatty tumor (actually two tumors) on his side - like another body attached to him, they are so massive. His shelter photo didn't show what the reality of this poor fellow's situation is--we thought he had a "lump".
The photos we took upon his arrival show the size of these masses. Because Holmes is such a nice dog, we decided to hang in there with him, and see what we could do to take care of him. It looks like we may be able to get him into the soft tissue specialty class for surgery at UC Davis - this will cost upwards of $750. $2,000 is what some other vets quoted us. We hope it all pans out for this fellow!
Please help with a donation to the Milo Medical fund, so we can pay to get this fellow fixed up!!
