Treating Tucker
 Our second little Chihuahua patient arrived at the Wisconsin Humane Society in a very spirited fashion. Not only did he want to play with everyone who greeted him, he was the benefactor of an impressive number of kisses. As soon as we received the stray puppy, however, it was evident that he had a very painful, serious limp. He was quickly shuttled into our veterinary clinic for x-rays.
WHS veterinarians gave Tucker a thorough examination. His x-rays revealed three separate fractures in his front paw! Tucker's paw will need to be splinted and stabilized by WHS veterinarians. The poor little guy will have to be restricted to bed rest for a while, too. At only 4-months-old, Tucker doesn't quite understand why he can't run and play, but frequent visitors deliver lots of love and new toys every day, hoping to keep his mind active and spirit bright.
Although we don't know how Tucker's break happended, we know that with your help, Tucker will stay on all fours and recover quickly. The costs associated with his treatment, hospital stay and adoption services are likely to reach about $1,200. Like all the animals at WHS, Tucker depends on donations from animal lovers to provide expert animal care and adoption services.
Your contribution of $10, $25 or even $50 will go directly to the care of this adorable fellow. You can also sponsor Tucker in honor of a loved one and send a personalized ecard with his photo to let them know.
Wonderful news! So far, we've raised $730 for Tucker's care!
