Simba Lost 40 Pounds. Help This 165-Pound Love Bug Recover.

Missoula, MT • Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana

Simba was our happy, easygoing boy who had just arrived at Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana (GPRM) from California. Then, suddenly, he stopped eating. Over the next several weeks, Simba went in and out of the vet as we searched for answers. He received IV fluids, bloodwork, ultrasounds, X-rays, appetite stimulants, and medications. Meanwhile, we tried just about every food and topper we could think of to tempt him to eat. Nothing worked. Simba continued to drink water, but no matter how delicious we made his meals, he simply wouldn’t eat. In just a few weeks, he lost roughly 40 pounds. Watching a dog slowly decline while you keep going back to the vet and still don’t have answers is one of the hardest parts of rescue. All we could do was keep trying, keep advocating for Simba, and hope we would finally find the cause. Finally, we did. Simba was diagnosed with prostatitis and started on the appropriate medication. What a difference an answer can make. Simba has already gained back more than 20 pounds, and we couldn’t be more relieved to see our big boy eating again, gaining weight, and getting his happy personality back. At approximately 165 pounds, Simba is a big boy with an even bigger heart. 😂 He’s an absolute couch potato who loves people, affection, and belly rubs. This ultimate love bug was rescued alongside his sister, Nala, and he deserves to get back to feeling his best. But Simba still has a way to go. After losing roughly 40 pounds and going through weeks of illness and veterinary visits, he needs time to rebuild his strength and continue his recovery. His progress so far is incredibly encouraging, but he still has ground to make up after everything his body has been through. Now we need your help. Between veterinary visits, diagnostic testing, medications, and all the special foods and toppers we tried along the way, GPRM spent $2,801.32 getting Simba through this difficult illness. These expenses add up quickly in rescue, especially when there are so many other dogs depending on us. Your donation can help offset the cost of Simba’s veterinary care and help GPRM continue providing for the dogs who need them. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. We want Simba to have more days doing what he loves: relaxing, soaking up affection, and getting all the belly rubs he can handle. ❤️ Thank you for helping us give this sweet boy the care he deserves.

Help Chaos get Cardiac diagnostic , echo cardiograph , blood work — WINDHAM, NH

WINDHAM, NH

I adopted Chaos, at 6 weeks from a home that giving him up. I was hoping that he would help our other dog Whiskey with the loss of his son. Whiskey took on a both parental / brother roll in Chaos life, as Chaos looked up to him and mimiced his mannerisms, but was just as much his own personality. And so for 7 years the story of Whiskey and Chaos began, and what a story it was. We rushed him to the ER after he became ll, hed never been sick, he seemed off after the lost of brother 2 months ago. They did X Ray's he had an enlarged heart, in heart failure, he needs to see a cardiologist, or at the very least additional blood work and imaging to figure out what medicine or treatment will help. Rockingham Vetinary was the ER, Canobie Vet will be his primary. Hes our everything, my son JoJo, whom has cardiac issues and heart failure. That's his brother Chaos, he just lost his other brother Whiskey 2 months ago. He lost his grandmother, his Aunt and alot if his closest adults in the last few years. Jojo was given 5 years to live with his cardiac issues, hes now 23. Chaos is 7 hes young, hes got the will and fight, just like Jojo, they'll do it together I had a medical emergency/major surgery 11 months ago & complications. 2nd surgery 8 months ago. My first concern was taking care of them, i tried to work at the same pace, it almost killed me. For the first time in my life I just need some help for my precious boy
