Picture
This is Blessing. Blessing is a 1.5 year old pug. Like 80% of brachycephalic (short headed) dogs Blessing has pigmentary keratitis. This is an abnormal pigmentation of the eye which can lead to blindness. It is secondary to the shape of the head and eye which causes irritation to the surface of the eye resulting in the deposit of the pigmentation. Milder forms of this can be treated with medication. However, Blessing's condition has been accelerated by medical canthal trichiasis and entropion which cause hairs to rub on and irritate the surface of the eye and has created a severe pigmentary keratitis which requires surgical treatment to prevent progression to blindness. The estimated cost of treatment at the Washington State University Eye Clinic (minus pre-op bloodwork which family pays) is $1,128.00. Please help us help Blessing retain her eyesight.

PET IN NEED
SEVERUS
This is Severus. Severus is a 9-month-old German Shepherd with a congenital heart valve disorder.  Severus' pulmonary valve, which regulates deoxygenated blood from her right ventricle to her lungs, has a narrowed opening due to the valves being fused together. This is causing the right ventricle of the heart to become enlarged due to having to pump harder to force the blood through the narrowed valve opening, as well as dilation of the pulmonary artery on the other side of the abnormal valve.  Think about when you put your thumb over a hose to narrow the opening the water backs up in the hose and squirts out at a great velocity. This is what is happening to Severus' heart.  Because of this deformity the lungs cannot efficiently oxygenate the blood supply and Severus can only play for a few minutes before she is out of breath and panting for air.  Left untreated this will do permanent damage to her heart and can cause sudden heart failure.
Severus needs a balloon valvuloplasty.  This procedure inserts a catheter with an expandable balloon on the end into the heart and places the balloon between the pulmonary valve leaflets.  The balloon is then expanded widening the opening between the leaflets, allowing the blood to flow freely. 
Severus' family lives in Seattle. Severus' primary veterinarian is a graduate of WSU Veterinary School and      recommended the surgery be done at WSU. Please help us help Severus get the surgery she needs!  Her family has so    far paid for all the diagnostics, and saved $1,000 toward the surgery.  They have also received a grant from The Mosby    Foundation for another $800. CLF is attempting to raise the remaining $3,000.  ***Special thanks to CT whose check        for Ashes came in after Ashes' fund goal was reached and who then generously donated it to our next pet in need.  CT  thanks for starting us off on Severus!
We would like to thank Pullman Radio/KQQQ for helping us spread the word about Severus so we can get her the help she needs. Thank you everyone at Pullman Radio!

ASHES

Ashes is a 9.5 year old Russian Blue cat that lives in the Palouse area. Isn't she gorgeous!  She recently had a complete mastectomy due to mammary gland cancer at Washington State University Veterinary Hospital.  Ashes' veterinarian suggested chemotherapy post-surgery to make sure the cancer does not come back.  Ashes' mom was able to pay for the surgery out of her savings and received a grant to cover some of the chemotherapy.  However, she lost three out of her four part-time jobs after Covid-19 hit and she needs help with the last couple of chemotherapy treatments and follow up blood work.  We need to raise $289.00 to get Ashes back to her happy, beautiful self.  Can you help?
UPDATE: Ashes' Fund Goal has been met!
