This is Poopie. Sheās my best friend. I know that sounds cheesy, but itās true. We found her a year and a half ago (give or take) wandering the streets. When we brought her home I began looking for her owners. Sheād had a harness on as well as bandages around her back and leg. I figured someone was missing her. Turns out they werenāt, and after spending a few weeks with her it wouldnāt have mattered. Sheād stolen my heart, and my side of the bed. Sheās sweet and loving. I had no idea a dog could be so kind.
For the past few days sheās been sick. She started throwing up on Tuesday. I was trying not to freak out over nothing, but took her to the vet just in case. They saidĀ āshe probably just ate something weird,ā gave her a shot, and sent her home. They said that if she wasnāt better by the next day that I should bring her back in.
The next day she really did seem better. She wanted to go play outside like normal, and was upset when I said that she couldnāt. She even ate a little bit. Later that night, however, she started throwing up again. This time it seemed like it was happening every five minutes. Not an exaggeration. She didnāt sleep at all last night, and neither did I. We went back to the vet this morning. They took blood for tests that didnāt show much. They took x-rays that showed that her stomach was enlarged and had pushed her intestines further back than they should be. They relieved some of that pressure, but the x-rays still didnāt show what exactly is going on.
The vet wants to do whatās called an exploratory, which is where they open her up to see whatās going on inside. It could be something simple they can remove, or it could be a cancer on an organ they canāt get rid of. Worst case scenario: theyāll euthanize her while she is in surgery. I signed the paper work and everything, and it breaks my heart to even think that she wonāt come home.
I left her at the vet this morning around 10:00 am where they hooked her up to some fluids so she could get hydrated. I went back to see her around 4:00 pm. I stayed with her for almost an hour. The reason I left was because they said I could come back tomorrow when they open to visit again before the surgery.Ā
The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning around 10:00-11:00 am.
The estimate the vet gave me was $700-$1500 which is more money than I have. I have drained and closed out my savings account. In other words, I need help. Iāve done everything I can for Poopie, but I still need help paying for the operation.Ā
I know this is a really long post, and Iām sorry. I wouldnāt ask this if I had another option. Itās been a struggle all day long. Iāve been trying to stay positive, but itās hard.Ā
If you can donate, I would be so grateful. If you canāt, I completely understand. Either way, Iād apprecate a signal boost.
