Milo's Medical Fund

Donation protected

My name is Tina. Milo is a 7 year old Shi-poo.... my sweet furbaby, the world's best snuggler, my youngest son's sleeping partner, and self appointed defender of our home.
We live in a rural area and Milo is always on the lookout for anything that he feels could harm us, such as mice and snakes on our property. 
 About 2 weeks ago, while I was outside watering plants, Milo snatched up a garter snake to kill it before it could kill me (Milo thinks they pose a real danger), and ended up with a snake bite to his eye. 
 A few days later, the eye began to look infected and we took him to the veterinarian, where they found that the abrasion on his eyeball had become infected. We treated him with antibiotics, both orally and in his eye.
After a few days the eye looked good. Two days after his last dose of antibiotics, the eye began to fester again and began to bulge out....back to the vet we went.
Today's diagnosis was that the abrasion has healed, but the eyeball itself is filled with infection. Milo is back on antibiotics and pain meds, but has to go back in 2 days for a recheck. The veterinarian informed me today that if the eye doesn't look better then, that surgical removal of the eye may be necessary.  I have paid about $400 for just the treatment and meds that he has received so far, and can't imagine what this surgery could cost. What I do know is that my furry family member needs emergency care and I can't come up with the money right now. 
 Milo means the world to me. If it was for me, I would go without until I could afford it, but it breaks my heart to watch my best friend suffer. 
The amount above is just my guesstimate of what I need to come up with based on results I found when I googled the procedure....it may be more or less, but I won't know until it is done.
 I want to thank you in advance for reading Milo's sad tale, and if you can help in any way, I would be forever grateful.
