After she discovered burglars had brutally beaten her dog Armani, owner Jessica Robertson rushed him to the MU Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. The 9-year-old cockapoo was diagnosed with multiple skull fractures, brain swelling, and bleeding in and around his brain. Soon he lost the ability to swallow and had to be put on a ventilator. Battling to save his life, veterinarians in the Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care Service stayed by Armani’s side day and night for nearly a week. That constant care and attention, plus Armani’s willingness to fight, paid off. After only 10 days he was able to go home to his family.
Armani’s Angels is an organization dedicated to raising money to help families with injured or ill animals. It was put in place to give pet owners an option, other than euthanasia, when funds are not immediately available to pay for a beloved pet’s care during an emergency.
