Benji came into dachshund rescue of Los Angeles on an emergency basis when the owners found out that he needed a liver shunt operation in the next 10 days, and would die without the surgery. This surgery runs between 6000-9000 in socal. So we have set up surgery and a foster home to recuperate in in las vegas which is less expensive. Help him have a long, healthy and happy life! Without surgery he will get weaker and weaker and die. He is a beautiful and sweet baby and we will eventually find him a forever home once he’s healthy He loved to cuddle with his litter mate so we hope to find a home with another friendly young dog. Please help him get his surgery so he can thrive! We don’t know much about him because we are a rescue and have only had him for a day or two but he deserves to life and he needs your help to make his surgery possible Together we can make this happen. He’s a very sweet and innocent little fellow and the vet tells us this is treatable with surgery he can live a good life He is getting surgery on Monday at las Vegas veterinary specialty center Liver shunt is a birth defect where an anatomical abnormality stops the animal from being able to process food and excrete waste products from the blood It must be miserable, he can’t really eat much and doesn’t look very healthy As a rescue we usually need more time than this to claw together funding but there is no time in this case. With a number of people coming together we can make this happen. The surgery with rescue discounts will be around 6,000 and we have raised around 1,800 in 24 hour
