Cure for Chloe

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Paige. My older sister, Jennifer and her husband, Jaryd are in desperate need of help. The same month that they were expecting their first child, their six year old boxer, Chloe became seriously ill. In June, Chloe stopped eating and started to have severe diarrhea and constant vomiting. Over the span of almost two months they had taken Chloe to the vet a number of times, including Emergency Veterinarians and Internal Medicine Specialists to figure out what was going on with her. During this time they paid for consultations, exams, blood work, ultrasounds, endoscopies and medicine, with still no idea as to what was causing Chloe’s illness.

Since the beginning of June, Chloe has dropped over 30 pounds. She refuses to eat, and they have had to resort to putting in a feeding tube to give her the nutrition that she needs. The Vet believed that she had Irritable Bowel Disease, which destroyed her stomach, intestines and colon (at one point during the endoscopy, the Internal Medicine Vet claimed that she had the worst looking intestines that he had seen in 30 years). Despite their best efforts of giving the prescribed medicines, and having to resort to syringing different types of mixtures of food down her throat, Chloe’s health steadily declined and now they are fearing for the worst. The Vet now believes that it is possible that she has Lymphoma, cancer of lymphatic cells in the body, due to the fact that she hasn’t responded from the treatment for IBD, and that he may have missed it during the endoscopy.

My sister and her husband have spent over $8,000 trying to help heal Chloe, who has been their pride and joy for the last six years. The money raised here will help pay off the bills that have been racked up due to Chloe’s care. The Veterinarians still have no clue as what is causing this, and Jennifer and Jaryd are heartbroken with the realization that they can’t afford to spend any more to save Chloe. These donations will enable them to continue trying to heal her.

I am writing this to ask for help, not just to ease the financial burden put on my siblings, but to make sure that my brand new nephew, Finn has the chance to grow up with the most loving and gentle dog in the world. So please, if you are able to do so, I beg that you help us save Chloe’s life.
