A Strong Bond
Brasher explained, “When Crockett wouldn’t eat, Bowie was taking pieces of his kibble and laying them by his face. I’ve never seen a puppy do that!” No need to say that they had a very strong friendship. Bowie was doing fine but Crockett, unfortunately, did not seem to be in good shape. He apparently had been caught by a deadly virus. People learned about his deteriorating condition through the Facebook page for the San Antonio Pets Alive!
A Deadly Virus
The little pup had Parvovirus. Well, this disease is known for its highly communicable by nature and in worse cases can be life-threatening. That is the very reason, why they had to separate Crockett from Bowie. The cure seemed to be next to be difficult. The organization made a public appeal “Crockett and Bowie NEED YOU to be healthy puppies–they need A LOT of medical care NOW!”
Expensive Treatment
Parvovirus is deadly enough to take someone’s lives if not treated in time. Naturally, the treatment of this disease requires lots of money. The duo had made a soft spot in staff’s heart and so losing any of them would hurt them a lot. They appealed to the public through their Facebook page to extend a hand of help for them. The post read…….
Special Care
“These puppies will need a lot of medical treatment (including Parvovirus treatment which costs $500 a puppy), medicines, IVs and special food.” The post made many hearts melt.
Donations For Crockett And Bowie
Bowie and Crockett became a sensation on the Internet and TV after the local press covered them. That helped in creating awareness among the public about the worsening condition of dogs. Along with that many people donated whatever they could to make the organization meet treatment expenses.
Help From Everyone
Help poured in from every corner of the country. Every dog lover who came across this post extended the hand of help towards the organization. Very soon, the clinic received help from many people. No doubt, their post had reached to the heart of many dog lovers. But was it enough? Would that do to bring those pups back to the health?
