Willow with his cat friends at the Bogrov shelter office
Willow is a 3-4 month old boy who came to Bogrov with his brothers and sisters from an abandoned litter. All his siblings are big dogs, over 15kg now. But Willow remained very small, with short legs and a funny body.
Vet doctor Iva Nikolova decided to do a bllod test to see if there was something wrong with Willow. The tests showed he sufferes from a rare desease – dwarfism. Same as in humans, dwarfism is a lack of a growth hormone that leads to a short stature and that brings along quite a few complications.
Willow needs a medicine that is not imported to Bulgaria. It is called Porcine growth hormone and is not only difficult to get, but also costly. If you could help us by sending us the necssary drug, or donating to us so that we could import it from Italy, Willow will be forever in debt to you…
