Archie is at the emergency room right now

Does anyone remember Archie, the dog we rescued a few weeks ago that needed the blood transfusion to save his life? He was severely anemic and it took him several weeks before his red blood cell count came back up to normal. Well, he finally was in the clear last week for neutering and he was neutered eight days ago. Today, his neuter incision developed a huge infection and he had to be rushed to the nearest hospital. It burst in the car on the way there and they had to flush him out, do baytril injection, morphine injection and send him home with oral baytril. But if he doesn't start feeling better by tomorrow, he may need to be officially hospitalized, on fluids, have surgery to flush out the entire infection and have drains put in. Either way, we did not have any funds to be prepared for this last minute emergency (isn't animal rescue fun?). We also still need to pay our bill from this morning for another new dog we rescued that is pregnant and she had an ultrasound and x-rays today that we owe our vet for. So we need help getting some donations raised asap. Please share this message by going below and clicking on the "share" button to send it to facebook or email it around to everyone you know. If everyone donates just a little bit, it will all add up? Thank you so much! (you can follow his journey in the video clips below)
