Name: Riley Case: Cock-a-poo The Baker family had Riley since he was 8 weeks old. This cute little dog's personality was demonstrated by his vocal, playful loving ways. So when Riley became quiet, withdrawn and began straining to urinate the family knew something was seriously wrong with him. Riley's family immediately took him to his regular veterinarian where diagnostic tests were performed. The tests revealed a serious life threatening blockage that was obstructing Riley's urination. With the condition being so dire, Riley was sent onto the Emergency/Specialty hospital where he could get the care he needed. There the emergency team determined that Riley needed a special surgical procedure called a Cystotomy to save his life. The Baker family loved Riley very much but due personal medical issues of their own and job loss this life saving procedure seemed financially out of reach. Learning about Vet-i-Care, the Baker's applied for and received the financial assistance that would allow Riley to receive the treatment he so desperately needed to save his life. With Vet-i-Care and the Surgical Specialist in alignment Riley went to surgery where the Cystotomy was performed. Riley is healing and doing great at home. We are thrilled to know that Riley and his loving family will have many more happy year's together. |
