Lil Bit's
Case
Adrienne Goodwin, technician with
Causeway AH and Lil Bit
Dr St. Germain and Adrienne Goodwin,
technician provide care and treatment for
Lil Bit.
Update
|
Mrs.
H. had been reluctant to bring Little Bit
to the veterinarian because their house
was flooded during Katrina and they had
little insurance to cover the cost of
repairs.
Mrs. H and her husband are an
elderly couple on a fixed income.
They are attempting to sheetrock
and repair their house by themselves to
conserve their funds.
They
have had a rough year. She
told the staff how important Little Bit
was to her and her husband since the
deaths of her son and grandson over the
last year. They
love their little dog and he is a big part
of their life.. and their recovery. They
could not bear to see him in pain. But
they could not afford his medical
treatment.
Dr
St Germain co-owner of Causeway AH
diagnosis indicated Little
Bit was suffering from a chronic and
painful urinary tract problem. He also has
a painful arthritic left knee caused by a
severe chronic dislocation. The condition
has gone untreated because of financial
hardship.
When Dr. St Germain,
told Mrs. H that financial assistance was
being provided for the care and treatment
of Lil Bit from the LifeSaver Fund and
discounted services from Causeway AH, she
broke down and cried. She expressed relief
and was very grateful for kind people who
made this possible.
Causeway AH is in the
process of treating her urinary tract
problem and hope to be able to repair her
knee in the near future.
We will keep you up to date on
Little Bit’s progress.

Update on Little Bit
Little Bit has improved with
medical treatment of her bladder condition,
but she continues to have leakage and
discomfort.
Surgery was performed to solve the
urinary condition, and to repair her damaged
knee at the same time.
The surgeries went very well. She made
a full recovery.
Her mom and dad are so thankful that
the help of the LifeSaver Fund was available
to them.
