Rotting from the Inside Out @ugly-vents - Tumblr Blog

I feel carved open,

Hollowed out inside.

There's nothing of me left.

This is my retired service dog, Meatball. She’s 9 years old and has been with me for 4 years. She got me through an abusive relationship, years with chronic illness and pain, and serious mental health issues and has never left my side.

She also has chronic health issues, like chronic ear infections and UTI’s that are usually cleared up without a problem using antibiotics and a vet visit. This time however; the antibiotics wouldnt work.

I’ve gone to the vet three times for the same issue in the past three months, including an emergency visit late at night due to swelling in the side of her face that will not go away despite how many antibiotics she’s been taking.

This infection just keeps coming back. After the most recent swelling and emergent vet visit, the doctor told us that without a surgery (that we can’t afford) Meatball isn’t going to recover. We’re trying stronger antibiotics for a long time to try to see if that helps and prevents the infection from spreading further, but without the proper scans and surgery, it’s likely that we’ll have to put meatball down to prevent her infection from spreading and killing her in an even more painful way.

I’ve made a gofundme to help raise money to help meatball get this life saving surgery so she can have a good senior life with me.

Gofundme - Save Meatball!
