update for you on Yukon

 

 

 

Dr.Pippin,

 

 

See below - amazing, truly! I cannot fathom that more will

be needed, but I'm letting people who are still emailing me about donating know

the following: " If you'd still like to

help with the costs of his rehabilitation and fostering, that would be much

appreciated – I know most people will think it's over now that this part

is handled. IF you'd like to do that, you can mail a check to

 

 

 

Mid Cities Humane Society

PO Box 540493

Memo on Check: for Yukon

 

Or visit the Mid cities Humane Society

website and donate online at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX358.html.

"

 

I cannot thank you enough for taking the

time to follow-up on all of this and to call me and network Yukon's case ... I'll keep

you and everyone else updated on his surgery and recovery as soon as I know

something.

 

Thank you again,

Nancy

Yukon + Car = Very Bad, BUT His Surgery is Covered

I just got a call from DVSC that, in less than 4 hours, over $5,000 has

come in to them for Yukon .... please let everyone you contacted

know that Catharine, Yukon, and I are so grateful and that no more donations

are needed. As soon as I have a surgery update, I will send that

out.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you again, I'm truly amazed and overwhelmed,

 

 

Nancy

I am truly moved and encouraged beyond words by the outpouring of

support that has come in for Yukon.

 

 

 

 

 

I just got back to the office from the Dallas Veterinary Surgical

Center ( " DVSC " ), and the good news is that his surgeon, Dr. Arnold,

is confident that he can be repaired and be returned to his former ability

to walk - and even run and play. He was in an incredible amount of

pain going out there, but they promptly examined him so that he

could be hooked up to pain medication and sedated.

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Arnold is going to amputate his tail and leave as much intact

as possible and will put screws and a bolt into his pelvis to keep it

anchored to his spine. They are also going to bathe him, salve his

wounds, and keep him on lots of drugs. There are some incredibly

competent and kind people at DVSC, and they're all going to take really

good care of him.

 

 

 

 

 

When I came out of the exam room, so many people had been calling

in donations that they did not even take my credit card. The

doctor gave me his examination for free, and the clinic will be donating a 10%

discount on the final bill. The estimate I gave you was about right - I

have a four page long list of what is going to be done and administered to him,

and the total will be, barring something unforeseen popping up during the

surgery, between $4-5,000.

 

 

 

 

 

It was awful to see him in so much pain, and he was crying and trying

so hard to be a trooper. As I sat on the floor talking to him and petting

him and trying to keep him as calm as possible, I could hear the phones ringing

non-stop in the lobby and the receptionists saying " how much would you

like to donate, " and, not only did this really touch me, but I told

Yukon that an entire city of people cares about him and will help him.

 

 

 

 

 

He looked up with those huge blue eyes, and his ears twitched with

every word, and I really think he wanted me to tell you thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

More updates to come after the surgeon calls me.

 

 

Nancy
