This sweet boy was brought into the BC SPCA where it was clear his needs had been previously neglected for some time.
Okie has now found himself without his family, in poor health and we have an incomplete medical history. He has very bad oral disease and when they went in to examine his mouth, they found a piece of spear grass stuck between two molars that was migrating towards his eyeball! This poor guy needs 22 teeth pulled and one of his molars was being held by only 1 millimeter of bone. His vet was apprehensive about pulling it as there was a chance that the bone would break which would mean he would need a specialist.
Luckily, the vet was able to get the molar tooth out. Okie’s first surgery was hard and they were able to get 17 of the 22 teeth pulled so he will need another dental to get the remaining teeth when he’s healed enough from his first surgery.
Okie is the sweetest little fella who loves absolutely everyone, all animals, cats and dogs alike! After having to experience discomfort for years because of his teeth, he was unable to eat properly, we are SO glad he will finally be able to eat pain-free. Even while being in extreme pain, he was still happy and greeted everyone with a wagging tail.
Okie deserves a new and better life, will you help him by donating to his surgery and care?
Personal updates for Okie will be provided to anyone who donates to his campaign.
*Goal includes: surgery, medication, treatment, regular health check, and daily care for Okie until he’s ready for adoption. If his medical costs and cost of care is less than is raised in his name, additional funds will provide care for other animals.
