Winston is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer in West Salem, OH, who needs $2,000 for Cholecystectomy.

I have had Winston since since he was a puppy. He's always been the bestest boy. He currently has 8 doggy brothers and sisters, many of them coming to us from shelters or as pets that's their owner could no longer care for. He also has 3 kitty siblings, also all rescues.

Winston is currently at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital in Akron, OH. He was transfered there on referral from our primary vet after learning he had a mucocele gallbladder obstruction. He had emergency surgery on Monday to remove the gallbladder and is currently recovering.

Winston is a great dog and loved by everyone he meets. He is a typical Schnauzer that barks when he gets excited, is very loyal, and is the biggest mommy's boy. He loves his brothers and sisters, but recently lost his best buddy Trudy the Yorkie to Cushings Disease.

This was an unexpected cost to our family. He have been trying to recover from the vet bills of one of our other dogs, Trudy, that had to surgery to repair an ACL, and was battling with Cushings and chronic pancreatist.
