Maggie's Veterinarian Bills Corneas
Donation protected
To all my friends and especially dog lovers: Can you spare $10? My precious Maggie is my service dog. She has rescued me in a number of ways. She brought me out of depression and provides me with help and love every day. I will list the tasks down further.
I am needing help with veterinarian expenses. Maggie has corneal ulcers that will not heal. I took her into Beloit, Wi to Prairie Animal Hospital, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Prairie-Animal-Hospital/623257701069678?sk=info&tab=overview, where Dr. Sokhey found both eyes affected. This caring man started her on aggressive treatment including surgery, defined later also, with no progress. She has been referred to UW, Madison Veterinarian Clinic http://uwveterinarycare.wisc.edu/, where they have the latest diagnostic and treatment tools/knowledge available. We saw the opthamologist at UW and they too are concerned by the eyes not healing. I went to Dr. Sokhey today and he made her a serum from her own blood. They are doing everything right. The next step is to go back to UW and have another surgery.
I found myself having to support myself when this cute little dog needed a home. The woman I got her from couldn't keep her and I told her I couldn't take on any more responsibilities or expenses but then I met the dog. I took her for the day. We went for a bike ride to the park and played. She cuddled with me. I had to say yes; we were in love. We were meant to be together.
I also two cats I love dearly. One is a 14 yr. old Siamese named Moxie rescued from the local animal shelter and the other is six year old Belle rescued from under my deck when it was 17 below zero. Belle is Maggie's buddy.
I am asking if any of you can spare a few bucks could you help Maggie get the treatment she needs? If it were for me I wouldn't ask, but Maggie means the world to me and everyone that knows or has ever met her loves her. She is truly a gem. I have charged about $2,ooo as of July 3, 2015, on my credit card with no means to pay. I am at a loss.
Maggie's tasks: Retrieve medicine, phone, water bottles, socks, blankets, pillows, remote, or anything I drop or point at. Put dishes in the dishwasher, put sticks in the yard in the mulch area, call for help, and is trained to detect smoke and alert me. She also can detect when my implanted medical device isn't working.
Maggie's treatment so far: Atropine, Neomycine, Eurythromycine, Cyclosporine, Doxycycline, Remend, Carprofin, Tobramycin, and now an autologous serum for meds. Grid Kerotonomy surgery and has been wearing a cone for the last month. We have ruled out diseases such as Cushings, diabetes, viruses, and blood disorders. Bloodwork and urinalysis shows she is extremely healthy and there is no logical reason for her eyes not to heal. My vet referred me to UW Madison and they are wonderful. She had a diamond burr abradement today by a human opthamologist/teacher. So far I have charged $1,905. We have to go back in two weeks for recheck.
