Hey guys, so here’s an update on Monty!

Our little trooper came home from the vet today. As you can see, they actually found an eye underneath the swollen, pus-filled infection. His leg is looking better so it seems less likely that it will have to be amputated, although the x-ray showed that all of the toes in that paw had been completely crushed. We will still have to take him into the vet every two days for the next 6-8 weeks to have the bandages changed (seen on his back leg). After cleaning his nose we can now see what’s going on with it. None of this is pretty, and the veterinary bills are growing each day between the cost of his pain killers, antibiotics, and general medical attention.

We’re still collecting donations at our indiegogo page here:

If you could help us out by reblogging and helping to spread the word, or even by donating anything you have to spare, it would mean the world to us and our Monty.

Baby ; A ;

MY HEART

if I had any money I would donate all of it. Poor baby

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don’t have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend, the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. The dogs loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog (Calypso) decided the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn’t acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company’s web site,

This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.

Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey’s, and they claim that “It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won’t eat it.”

*Snopes site gives the following information:

http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman’s Garden Supply and other garden supply stores contains a lethal ingredient called ‘Theobromine’. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.

Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker’s chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

**PLEASE PASS THIS ON**
