Bellas Medical Bills
Donation protected
This is my baby Bella Bear. She is a part of my family, and she is very loved. She is really sick. so i'm trying to pay for her medicsl bills, but they have become so overwhelming. Bella is my 8 yr. old Boston Terrier. I got her from a family member, who got her from a friend. I've had her since she was 2, and she's my very best friend. Bella has helped me through a lot of tough times. She's very sweet, and she loves everyone. Her favorite food is brocolli, and she likes listening to me read to her.
A couple weeks ago I noticed that Bellas nose was losing it's color, and looked like it was rotting away. I took her to the vet, and they put her on Prednisone saying it was just an allergic reaction to something. After a few days it got worse, and started to spread, so I took her in again. At this point she was refusing to eat or drink, so they put fluids in her through an IV. They said she has lupus, and she also needs three teeth pulled. I decided to schedule an appt. to have her teeth removed, and to have four biopsys done on her nose.
About four hours after that appt. I noticed that Bella was very warm. After a while she started puking up mucus. Later on that night I realized that her heart was beating very fast, and her breathing was labored. I rushed her to the animal hospital in the middle of the night to have them tell me that they couldn't help me, because I didn't have the funds. I had already spent around $2000 on appointments, tests, and medicine, and simply didn't have the money.
Bella had her surgery on october 24th. The surgery and after care costs came to $1000. Two days later her pain pills got stolen from my house by someone I thought I could trust, so I had to buy more for her.
Four days ago Bella scratched her eyeball. I called the vet, and she said it would heal itself. It didn't heal itself, after three days it got completely cloudy and she wouldn't open it. I called the vet, and she said it is important that Bella comes in right that minute. She said it would be $65 for the exam, and I said I couldn't pay that. She said nevermind it can wait until I have the money.
Very early the next morning I woke up to Bella crying in pain and her eye was bleeding. I took her in immediately, and they said Prednisone makes it hard for her body to heal itself. They said after she scratched her eye, it couldn't heal do to the prednisone, then it got infected. The infection was why it clouded over. They then said her eye ruptured, which caused the bleeding. They performed surgery on her eye, but they couldn't save it. That procedure came out to $529.15. They kept her overnight, and I just picked her up this morning. I will update this everyday with how she is doing. Thanks!
