Ryno

Meet Ryno! A few weeks ago, this adorable love-bug wasn’t acting like his usual energetic and hungry self. His owners knew something had to be wrong when he refused to eat his favorite treats and food for more than a day, so they decided it was time for a trip to the vet. As it turned out, Ryno had eaten something he shouldn’t have: a piece of a blanket that was now stuck in his stomach! By the time they had finished diagnosing Ryno, his veterinarian realized that there was not much time left for this sweet boy unless he received an emergency surgery to remove the object. Ryno’s “parents,” a young couple supporting not only themselves, but two family members and their newborn son as well, were so overwhelmed when they found out that they wouldn’t be able to cover the full amount of Ryno’s life-saving surgery. Thankfully, the wonderful staff at VCA Animal Specialty Group referred them to FACE, who was able to pitch in and help Ryno get the surgery he needed to survive. Special thanks to FACE Life Sponsor The Spitcaufsky Family for helping to save Ryno.
