Ravenswood Pet Rescue in Wisbech launches fundraiser for community support to help save life of six-week-old puppy with major surgery

A rescue centre is in urgent need of community help to save a puppy’s life.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Ravenswood Pet Rescue in Wisbech to help a six-week-old dog get the life-saving major treatment she needs.

The Miniature Dachshund, Bonnie, came into the hands of the rescue centre on Sunday evening needing emergency care. She has a rectal prolapse which has been left for at least two weeks.

Unfortunately, due to the pup only arriving at the centre a couple days ago, the operation to save her life is far more complex.

Bonnie's prolapse is starting to die, so the vets have to act fast and have her booked in to undergo the major surgery she requires on Thursday but the aftercare is going to cost quite a bit so the centre is asking for the help of the community.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Caroline Trigg, head of the Ravenswood Pet Rescue, to raise £1,500 - but generous members of the public have already raised £1,905. However, the centre needs as much money as possible to help with Bonnie's long road to recovery.

Caroline said: “We have to give this little girl the life she deserves. We have to try, she has had no life, and the last few weeks for her have been agony and miserable.

“She will have a tough recovery ahead but we will be with her every step of the way.

“We know you will help if you can.

“If she does not have the operation she will die. It is life or death for her. She is very small and very young so it is always very risky but we have no choice really.”
