Please Help with Gandalf's Medical Bills

Donation protected
Gandalf is our amazing 13 month old Siberian Husky. He has enriched our lives from the moment we brought him home in June of 2013. He is a vivacious puppy with an unbelievable amount of energy and personality. He loves running, skijoring, exploring everything, digging holes, playing in the pond, and playing with his stuffed animals (his babies).



Gandalf was an extremely strong and healthy puppy until this past Monday night. He developed a high fever, vomitting, diahrea, and blood in his urine. He was rushed to a veterinary hospital in Deerfield Massachusetts where they tested his blood and tried to treat his fever of 105 degrees with three different antibiotics. He was tested for Addison's disease, pesticides, and everything else the staff at the Veterinary Emergency hospital could think of. Every test came back negative. Gandalf's condition was a mystery to the vets. He was not responding to any of the treatments and his liver was beginning to fail. Our last attempt to save Gandalf was a plasma transfusion which ultimately was too late. 



Gandalf passed away on May 21st 2014. Luckily we were able to see him and say our goodbyes just before he died. That night we brought Gandalf home and buried him beneath our pear trees, one of Gandalf's favorite places. Our family and friends gathered to help bury him and celebrate Gandalf's life which is a huge testament to what an amazing dog he was. 



The two days he spent at the Veterinary Emergency hospital and all of the tests and procedures they performed cost $4,000. This is an enormous amount of money but we could spare no expense if it meant saving our pup. We ask for your generous donation to help us through this emotionally and financially difficult time.
