About this campaign
Comet is only 4–5 months old–a tiny French Bulldog puppy who should be playing with toys and learning what love feels like, not fighting to survive in a hospital.
This innocent baby was surrendered to local animal control with a severely prolapsed and bleeding rectum and testing positive for parvo, a deadly intestinal virus. There is no way to know how long he had truly been suffering, bleeding, and in pain.
Violent diarrhea from parvo likely caused the prolapse. The damage left is severe. When Comet arrived at the hospital, he was sick and in pain, but alert. Then, he crashed.
Comet quickly declined and needed plasma transfusions, fluids, antibiotics, and intensive emergency care to stabilize him. He is beginning to respond, but his condition is still very guarded.
Our veterinary team is continuing to try to stabilize Comet, reduce the prolapse, and determine whether the tissue can be saved and safely returned, or if this tiny puppy will need emergency surgery. Right now, the biggest fear is damage to his colon and the surrounding tissue.
Comet’s medical bills are climbing fast: emergency hospitalization, plasma, parvo treatment, around-the-clock supportive care, and possible surgery.
Today, for Comet, every share matters, every dollar helps, and every prayer is needed. Thank you for being part of his fight.

Thanks to all of you, Comet is doing incredibly well health wise and also in his foster. So well, in fact, that they are going to adopt him! This wouldn't have been possible without the help of people who truly cared for and supported Comet.
