On July 1st, the Sunday before the 4th of July, my Boston Terrier, Tokyo, was in her crate home alone for three hours. She must have heard fireworks, and in a panic, tried to get out, breaking 3 of her canines to the GUMLINE, cracking the fourth to expose the pulp, and damaging at least 7 incisors that need to be extracted. She is not in any pain now, thankfully, but I am facing what to do in terms of her care-the risk lies in infection, long term.

 

Total extraction of all those damaged teeth and roots would cost about $1,500.  It will be a painful procedure to recover from, but it is the baseline level of care that she can receive to survive.  That is why I’ve set my goal to this amount.

 

Root canals and extractions would cost nearly $6k and be far less painful, and allow her to keep the roots of her canines, which make up the bulk of a dog's jaw.  In my dreams, we’ll raise this much money, and so I’m throwing the figure out there.

 

PERKS! PERKS! PERKS! 

As a product and graphic designer, my first recourse in saving my little girl is to turn towards design!  I have created a silhouette of Tokyo’s face, which I will apply to vinyl stickers, buttons, canvas shopping bags, and packs of greeting cards. I will even apply this image to any custom item of your choosing (limited to availability on cafepress.com).  And finally, one lucky donor will even get to keep Tokyo’s teeth and extracted roots!

Whether or not your donate, please spread the word about Tokyo's Teeth campaign on your Facebook, Twitter, and other social media or just tell friends about it in person (they're going to wonder where you scored the cool perks, anyway!)  And even if you can't contribute financially, we would still appreciate you making some noise!

THANK YOU, for your interest in helping my best friend of 7.5 years.­­­

-Paula P. and Tokyo

 

Oh, I almost forgot to mention: Everyone who donates will also receive many licks and a gumming from a nearly toothless dog!  Included with every donation. (Delivery of this offer is subject to healing time.  Travel expenses not included.  PP and TP are not responsible for the ensuing slime left behind.) :)
