Luna recovers from pneumonia with help from Fur Kids Foundation

Meet Luna, the two-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws! Recently, Luna’s mom has been going through a rough patch, dealing with a separation from her spouse and starting a new job.

One day, Luna started showing signs of being sick—she seemed exhausted, had a runny nose and eyes, was coughing, and refused to eat or drink. Worried sick, Luna's mom rushed her to the vet. Knowing that this unexpected veterinary expense was going to be hard on her, she applied for help from Fur Kids Foundation.

At the vet, they discovered Luna had a fever of over 103 degrees and diagnosed her with pneumonia. This condition, much like in humans, involves inflammation in the lungs’ air sacs, which can fill with fluid and hinder oxygen absorption making it hard for a pooch to breathe. The symptoms to watch for in dogs include:

• Appetite and weight loss
• Persistent, sometimes unproductive, cough
• Difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Runny nose
• Wheezing

Luna was admitted to the hospital, where she received antibiotics and fluids. After some much-needed care, she was sent home with medication and is now on the road to recovery, thanks to her attentive mom and to our incredible donors. 

We need your help to ensure we can keep supporting pets like Luna. Could you spare $10 to help us get more fur kids back on their paws? Donations are tax-deductible and make a huge difference. Or, if you're looking for another way to help, consider joining our pack as a volunteer. Fur Kids Foundation is entirely volunteer-run, and we need passionate folks to help us fundraise, process applications, and spread the word about our mission in the Northeastern corner of Wyoming.

Let's give our furry friends the love and care they deserve; visit www.furkidsfoundation.org to learn more.
