Romeo needs our help...

Rome,a rescued dog needs our help... he needs to undergo a certain operation called: Bone-pin... Over the past few weeks, several dogs taken in or rescued by PAWS were found to be in need of special medical care: there's Iris and Lady who are both being treated for heartworm, John Lloyd for liver problems,Malcolm for severe demodectic mange. Fortunately, all these dogs have gotten sponsors somehow for their treatment. Yesterday morning, after a week of waiting to be rescued, "Romeo"- a thin dog with an injured leg roaming in the Greenhills area - was finally taken into the PAWS shelter. Rescuers had to shuttle him from the PAWS clinic to a clinic with an x-ray. Romeo - sweet dog though he was- was in such pain, his snout had to be tied to keep him from biting the gentle hands which held his injured leg against the x-ray machine. http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img3519aa9.jpg When the x-ray came out, it was obvious now why Romeo was in great pain: his hind leg was broken clear into two (see attached x-ray). Romeo needs to have a bone-pin operation that PAWS would be unable to afford. http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img3526jh5.jpg Our choices: 1. leave him to heal on his own while giving him pain-killers. His bones will eventually fuse but he will be walking with one short hind leg for the rest of his life. 2. get him that bone-pin surgery he needs by asking help from supporters We decided, of course, to try course of action #2 first by posting this message. Approximate cost of the operation is P15,000 (or perhaps less if we get some kindhearted veterinary surgeon to just charge us the cost of the meds and surgical materials) Please, if any of you who are subscribed here would want to pitch in to help with Romeo's surgery, send us a email indicating the amount that you pledge to deposit to our PNB account on or before September 30, 2008.
