About this campaign
Oscar was found as a stray on the streets of Southern California, with no way of telling us what he had been through or how long he had been on his own. Thankfully, this sweet little dog was given a second chance by Bichon Rescue Brigade and placed in a loving foster home.
At just 3 years old, Oscar should be enjoying his new life—playing, cuddling, and discovering what it feels like to finally be safe. Instead, he recently found himself fighting through a frightening medical emergency. Oscar Suddenly Couldn’t Urinate
Oscar’s foster noticed that he was having difficulty urinating and knew something wasn’t right. He was rushed to the veterinarian, where doctors discovered that his bladder was filled with stones.
Oscar needed emergency bladder surgery to remove the stones and relieve his pain. Everyone hoped the surgery would be the beginning of his recovery.
Unfortunately, his ordeal wasn’t over. A Complication Led to a Second Emergency Surgery.
Overnight, the surgical repair failed, creating another life-threatening situation. Oscar had to undergo a second emergency surgery the very next day.
After enduring two surgeries in such a short period of time, Oscar remained hospitalized under close, 24-hour monitoring while his veterinary team watched carefully for additional complications and helped him begin to heal.
Through everything—the pain, procedures, hospitalization, and uncertainty—Oscar has remained the same incredibly sweet and happy little dog. He loves everyone he meets and continues to show just how resilient he is.
Please Help Oscar Recover
Oscar survived life as a stray and finally found people determined to give him the future he deserves. Now, we want to make sure this unexpected medical crisis doesn’t stand in the way of that future.
Two emergency surgeries, hospitalization, intensive monitoring, medications, and follow-up veterinary care have resulted in a significant medical bill for his rescue.
We’re asking for your help to give Oscar the care he needs to fully recover.
Every donation, no matter the amount, helps cover Oscar’s lifesaving veterinary treatment and brings him one step closer to putting this frightening chapter behind him.
