Meet Gunther!

    
GRRREAT Gunther, a gorgeous guy posing and at play!!

Gorgeous Gunther, vegging out with his Best Bud!!

Gunther was a lucky boy when he found his way into Patty's home, a foster for Midwest Doberman Rescue. At first, he was so painfully shy, but slowly he gained some confidence with the reassuring care he received. The tests performed found Copper Toxicosis - another problem from which our dear Dobes suffer. There is no cure, but it is a somewhat treatable disease where the liver accumulates too much copper it cannot move out of the liver which then causes sclerosis. Cuprimine or it's equivalent, penicillamine only slows the process - it does not cure it. Penicillamine is a chelating agent which is used In Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder of copper metabolism. Penicillamine treatment relies on its binding to accumulated copper and elimination through urine. Gunther must have this costly medicine in order to live. With the help of Diamondback Drugs, SND is able to provide the meds at half the ordinary cost. But we still need your help in the form of donations to help SND offset the costly expense of this medication! With penicillamine, proper diet and the love of his family, Gunther will have the best in life that his loving family can provide. Thank you so much for helping Gunther with his medications.

Please help Mr. Gunther's family help him by sending in a tax-deductible donation online by using the PayPal button below, or by mailing one in. Thank you for any assistance you can provide to help with this Great DobeGuy’s therapy with Penicillamine.
