Butch is with me as I type this!!! He is such a loving and happy boy. Im amazed by his spirit considering what he has been through. As Im told, Butch was in a home, along with 2 other dogs, when it caught on fire. By the time the fire fighters arrived and kicked in the door, the home was in bad shape. All 3 dogs ran out, Butch was the only one who stayed with the fireman. Sadly. the other 2 dogs havent been found. It is believed they are deceased. Butch was left without medical attention for 24 hours due to lack of money. At that point, a local vet donated his services to help Butch. Butch remained in his care for 2 weeks. Im unsure of the specifics regarding the treatment he received, but I know he is alive and healing and thriving! Some of the wounds are still quite gruesome and I worry about infection. He also lost both ears and eyelids in the fire. Butch has an appointment Tuesday AM at Gainesway Small Animal Clinic. At that time, Dr Nolty will thoroughly assess (and hopefully neuter) Butch. He will let us know what, if anything, we can do to help aid Butchs recovery. There have been several suggestions (oxygen therapy/chamber)....all of these things are expensive. I will give you a full report on Tuesday. At that time, Butch will also be able to go to a foster home. To make a donation to Butchs care, you may donate via PayPal at lexpitcrew.org OR you may call the vets office directly at 859 272 9625. Make sure you let them know your donation is for Butch with Lexington Pit Crew. Thank you all!
