Story

Let us tell you a little story about our sweet girl, Bambi 💕

Bambi came to us as an owner surrender at just 1 year old. Despite everything, she is the happiest, most loving girl you could ever meet.

She showed no signs of health issues until we took her to the vets for a routine spay. During her check-up, a very severe heart murmur was discovered, and she was referred for a specialist scan. Sadly, the results showed that Bambi has several serious problems with her tiny heart.

We were asked if we wanted to contact a specialist to see whether anything could be done. Of course, we said yes — although there was a chance nothing would be possible due to the severity of her condition.

Thankfully, the specialists believe they can help Bambi by performing a balloon valvuloplasty. This could give her the chance to live the happy, long life she truly deserves.

Now comes the difficult part… as you can imagine, this life-saving treatment is very costly.

• Heart scan: £526.31

• Specialist surgery quote: £3,987

We have set up a JustGiving page to help raise the funds for Bambi’s surgery, and we would be incredibly grateful for any support. Even simply sharing this post makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Bambi’s story and for caring about this very special girl 🐾
