My Brother Romeo!

If you are an Italian Greyhound Romeo is your brother too!

Romeo was recently found in a park in Orange County, mal-nourished with ulcerations on his eyes and nose. He was released to IGCA Rescue by O.C. Animal Services; he is in temporary foster care undergoing medical care and diagnostics for the ulcerations. Romeo has a grade three heart murmur, several abscessed teeth and two grade 2 skin cancer masses. He is undergoing a regimen of antibiotics and nutritional supplements to build him up his strength and immune system so that he can successfully handle the anesthetic for his pending surgeries. His prognosis is positive; his road to recovery long but at nine years old he has many happy years ahead of him. If you would like to help him on his path to recovery please send your tax deductible donation to IGCA Rescue, c/o R.E. Bailey 2268 Rutgers Drive, Costa Mesa, Ca 92626 or directly to Dr. Tom Austin, Newport Harbor Animal Hospital 125 Mesa Drive, Costa Mesa, Ca 92627
