Percy is a six-month-old Chihuahua in Lutz, FL, who needs $2,000 for blood transfusions and emergency care.

During his greatest hour of need, Percy was surrendered to an animal hospital by his guardians.

The staff reached out to us here at Animalluvr's Dream Rescue, hoping we could be Percy's saving grace. We believe we can make a difference in Percy's life with your support!

Percy had an extremely rare reaction around his microchip implantation site and fluid accumulated in his delicate neck area.

His pet parents brought him back to the veterinarian. They found he had severe anemia. Sadly, when the family heard this, they gave him up.

Percy started to feel better after a blood transfusion, but then his bloodwork showed he wasn't improving as everyone hoped. Then, his wound formed an abscess.

He needed a second blood transfusion, and he continues to require intensive care.

We don't want anyone to be "down" about microchipping because microchips are a lifeline for reuniting dogs and cats with their families. This situation is not typical!

But we do need your help raising the money for Percy's medical bills so he can one day find a new, loving family.

Animalluvr's Dream will give him every chance at recovery. Please give to help Percy!

Update 8/23/24:
Percy continues to be a bit of a mystery case, but after a rough week of testing, transfusions, and medications, he is doing MUCH better. His recent pathology results suggested to continue with iron supplements and antibiotics, and we are hoping he will continue to improve!

Update 8/31/24:
Percy was rushed to the veterinary clinic after he started crashing at his foster's. His blood isn't clotting properly and his gums are extremely pale. Percy is getting a ton of testing done and we are hoping to get some answers soon!

Update 9/1/24:
Percy is still hospitalized, but he is bright and alert, eating and drinking, and overall in good spirits. He had an infusion last night and is now on fluids. We are still waiting on lab results that check for more rare diseases.

Update 9/2/24:
Percy was discharged last night! He still has hookworms despite being treated for them multiple times, so he has started a new medication since they seem to be resistant to what he's been on.

However, the hookworm infection is secondary to what is causing most of his problems. Based on preliminary testing, the vets believe Percy has hemophilia. We should get more in-depth test results back until later this week. In the meantime, Percy is doing great and home and taking it easy. He is getting his puppy booster vaccine today while the plasma transfusion is still actively doing its job and once more stable, he will be neutered and receive infusions as needed to keep him stable.

Update 9/11/24:
Percy has officially been diagnosed with a severe clotting disorder — hemophilia type A. This is a genetic mutation, and there is no cure.

Basically, Percy (and his future owners) will need to be extra careful throughout his life to prevent him from unnecessary bumps, bruises, scrapes, etc. Routine things like vaccinations and nail trims can be dangerous for him if not done properly and with extra care. He will need to be close to vets that can give him blood transfusions when needed.

This sweet boy doesn’t know that his life may be a bit more difficult than other puppies, and he certainly hasn’t let his diagnosis keep him down! He is full of energy, very playful, and loves people. Percy will need an extra special home looking for an extra special pup to join their family.
