"Candoo (formerly Cookie) is a 2-3 year old intact Puggle. He was hit by a car up in the Ogden area almost two months ago now. He was left untreated and finally taken to the Ogden Shelter. The Shelter put out an SOS for him as they did not want to euthanize him. Our rescue group took him on and planned to have his leg amputated, do a recovery period and then place him for adoption.
The problem is Candoo has not been able to do any of that. While on antibiotics to build him up for the amputation, he crashed and ended up at the ER in Washington City where he spent a weekend. He then returned to his foster home for a day and then was hospitalized at the Red Hills Animal Hospital under the care of Scott Hannig, DMV. Dr. Hannig has been treating him for a gastro-intestinal infection with symptoms of vomitting, bloody stools, not eating, etc. He was scheduled to return to his foster home today but on the trip back got sick. He is once again at the hospital.
Dr. Hannig is aware we are a small rescue with a very limited budget and feels a decision must be made by us as to how much money we can spend on Candoo. Everyone who has met Candoo admires his spirt and wants to see the best for him.
If you have any idea for a quick, effective fund raiser, please contact me. If you wish to make a donation for his care you can make a donation directly to the Red Hills Veterinary Hospital, 435-656-8886. We have no guarantee at this time that Candoo can or will recover but we are trying everything that seems feasible."

Thanks again...
Also, please see post #5 for an update...
If a small donation from me would do any good, FReepmail me with an address. I’ll do whatever I can.
Local schools???
Contact your local Boy Scout and Girl Scout leaders! They may contribute.
Especially the Boy Souts- they can raise money!
Also civic organizatioons. Have you contacted national Pug Rescue? How about a big local pet store?
I hope Candoo pulls through. Dogs are wonderful souls.
I know this sounds crazy....but did they check him for parvo? Parvo has bloody stools and vomitting of blood. ask ASAP. If it should be he contracted it, the time is short. We have a dog who survived it...I know he was hit by a car, but...the symptoms may not all be because of that. Just a thought.
The name change was a very good decision. Praying this is a good sign that the little guy will beat this and that the care givers and owners will look back at this in better days ahead so they can inspire others with animals needing prayer.
