Capone was in major degenerative heart failure when he was pulled. 4 years have gone by, Capone is still fully alert, loves his daddy, his brother, and he loves life. Capone has been undergoing monthly abdominal drainage due to his extensive heart problems, and is on about 5 different medications. This has been costing about $350 per month. Funding has run out. So we have been working to reduce costs and have learned that: We can get all the meds he needs through a local vet for $60 per month. His owner is going to learn how to drain the fluid off of Capone's abdomen himself thanks to a vet tech who will teach him (we didn't know you could!!) I found a recipe online to make at home that is good for dogs with heart problems like Capone's http://www.dog-health-guide.org/dogfoodforheartproblems.html We will purchase a huge bottle of Ivermectin for heartworm preventative This will reduce costs to hopefully $80-$100 a month. Could you please help us meet this goal? Even $5 would make a major difference for this boy, and donations are tax deductible - Thank you !!! www.arruff.org  Close
