Keep Delight Dog & I Living Indoors

Donation protected
My puppy dog, Delight, is very sick.

Delight has been diagnosed with Parvovirus, a disease that is very bad and contageous for dogs, and puppies and elderly dogs who have not been vaccinated are at the most risk. 

Several days ago Delight stopped eating, and she only drinks water, and then throws up that water. Her barf was pure water. At first, I thought she had a blockage in her intestines. Her constant throwing up and not eating is a symptom of a blockage.  I thought it was a blockage because several days ago Delight tore up an old pillow and I suspected that she had swallowed some of the synthetic fiberfill. Delight stopped eating the next day and over the next couple of days got very weak and sickly.  

When I first got enough money from this campaign to pay for a vet visit, Delight was diagnosed with Parvo rather than a blockage.

As of this writing, I've got enough raised enough to pay for her exam, diagnostic tests, and first few treatments. When she first became sick, I was not aware that I could do the treatments at home, and when I found out and asked the vet, she said she had not suggested home treatment because most people are not capable, psychologically or otherwise, of sticking needles into their pets. As I have had many medical issues, and was in addition the caregiver for my late father for fifteen years, while I don't enjoy needles, I can deal with them. 

So I have obtained a bag of fluids and some injectible drugs and will start giving Delight her treatments at home. This will save a huge amount, even though I've spent much already. 

I will make a video of me giving Delight her home treatment, and post it here.

In addition, I have not worked in several months because I had surgery which removed a part of my right foot. As it is I'm not even sure I have enough to cover next month's rent. While the generous contributions so far have been very helpful in getting Delight diagnosed and her first few treatments, we could use more so that Delight and I and her two cuddle-buddy kitties can continue to live indoors until I'm able to work again.

Any funds raised will first go to saving Delight, and any additional will go to paying my rent so that both she and I have a place to live indoors.

Can you help me and Delight in any way?

Thank you.
