Sky's Cyst Surgery

I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU to EVERYONE that was involved in raising funds for Sky's echocardiogram! Now that we know his heart is okay, we're able to move on to finally getting these cysts removed! 

As most of you know, I treat my dogs as if they're my kids. They mean everything to me.

Labs are really prone to fatty cysts, which doesn't bother me if it's just cosmetic. All 3 of my dogs have had them and it's been no big deal. But a few YEARS ago, Sky developed a cyst on his side that burst open. During this time, my family was extremely short on money and were only able to afford his hospital visit to have him examined and cleaned out. They explained that the cyst may close by itself, but most likely needed to be removed surgically. Since it wasn't a life or death sitaution, we decided to try to deal with it on our own and just keep it clean the best we could. And we have been doing well with it but after numerous infections (poor puppy), medications (that he HATES taking), and A LOT of blood stained things (Sky really doesn't like to keep his band-aids on), it's now time to get rid of this thing once and for all!
Sky has also developed a mass on his eyelid that continues to get bigger, and while he's a good boy and tries to show no sign of pain, we can tell these things are bothering him. They must be removed.


As a future college student, my funds remain low. I only want the best for my dogs, but I need a little financial help. Between the two of them, I've already spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills just over the last few months! The last GoFundMe for his echocardiogram really took weight off of my shoulders, but he's not done yet.


I got an estimate to have the two main cysts removed. It's going to cost anywhere between $900 and $1,500. 


I would love to get him this surgery ASAP and, while I've been trying to save up money for awhile, I just can't afford to get this done by myself. 
Please continue to spread the word about Skylab. Even just a dollar or social media share could make a huge difference! Since I don't actually know what the price is going to be, I'm aiming to reach the highest goal and any extra funds raised will go straight to Sky's expensive medication and other pupper medical bills. Please help get the sweetest, friendliest, cuddliest chocolate lab the care he needs! He may be old and nearing the end of his life, but I want the rest of it to be the best I can make it for him. 
Again, I want to thank everyone for getting us this far! We couldn't have done it without you :)

 
Oh, and here's a reminder that he's a bit strange.
