About this campaign

Stray Dog Support rescued Fern from the streets of Cairo.

Since her rescue, Fern has been in and out of hospital fighting through unimaginable pain and medical challenges. She recently returned to the hospital and has been struggling. She is depressed, barely eating, and has lost a significant amount of weight. Her anemia and blood parasites continue to make her extremely vulnerable, which means they cannot proceed with the amputation surgery she desperately needs right now.

Fern has already endured major surgery following her CT scan, when surgeons discovered that part of her thoracic duct was completely damaged and torn. Fluid was continuously leaking into her chest and putting severe pressure around her lungs. The surgeons repaired the damaged area, removed the fluid surrounding her lungs, and placed a chest drain to prevent further dangerous buildup.

After speaking with her veterinary team, they have decided to remove Fern from hospital and return her to home boarding for a while. They are hoping that being somewhere quieter and more comfortable will help her regain her strength, appetite and spirit.

They are trying to stay hopeful, but right now her broken body is winning this battle. But SDS is not giving up and could desperately use your help to fight for Fern.

Fern deserves for caring people to keep fighting alongside her. Please send her your good thoughts, love and strength as we cheer her on.

And please continue to support Fern. Her medical care has already cost so much, and they currently have another $4,000 in veterinary bills to pay. Every donation and share helps precious Fern keep fighting.
