Please help sponsor our sweet little Lady Bird. Lady Bird is a very petite little girl weighing in at 5.5 lbs. She got her name because she looks like a little bird that fell from the nest.

Lady Bird needs the following procedures and she needs sponsors to help her be able to breath normally.

Our experienced vet has requested the following procedures at a cost of $650.

1. Radiographs of the nasal passages and sinuses to identify areas of bone destruction or dental disease.
2. Lady Bird needs a nasal flush. A nasal flush is a diagnostic procedure used to collect material from deep within the nasal cavity and clear the sinuses. The material collected will be examined under the microscope or cultured to determine the proper antibiotic for her. This procedure is done under anesthesia and is usually completed after the initial radiographs have been taken. The vet will use a specialized instrument called an endoscope that allows examination of the nasal passage, the back of the throat, and the area around the soft palate. He will also search for nasopharyngeal polyps.
3. A biopsy might be needed. There are some diseases that can only be diagnosed with a biopsy of material deep within the nasal cavity. A biopsy requires recovery of an actual piece of tissue, so surgery is often required for this procedure.
4. Lady Bird is also in desperate need of a dental and this procedure will be done at the same time.

Please help Lady Bird by donating even the smallest amount to her care.
