Archimedes Needs Help Brain Surgery
Donation protected
We are the Henderson Family and we recently went through a rough spot with our 3 year old American Masstiff Archimedes. Archimedes one day started to have seizures so we took him to the emergency and after 4 days in the hospital at UC Davis, they found a brain tumor.
He went through a round of medication to knock down the inflamation around the tumor and get the seizures to stop and we thought we had the thing under control. We just took him to re visit his doctor and she told us she had his scans sent to a neurologist in New York and the news was not good. The neurologist think we should have the tumor removed as soon as possible because of where it is located and if we wait too long, it may grow to an in operable size. It is located in the front of his brain where it could affect his personality.
For those that know our big goofy boy, he is just that. A loveable snuggle bear who loves everyone. The last thing we could bear is for this tumor to change his loveable personality and we lose the family member we have grown to love.
We also have a 4 month old new daughter who has grown quite attached to her puppy. She loves to snuggle with him and bury her face in his neck fluff. Archimedes has grown quite fond of her as well and doesn't move an inch when she is hugging him. As big as he is, he is so gentle with his tiny human. He follows her everywhere and gets concerned when she cries. We can't risk the possible change in his personality which may make him aggressive towards anyone or anything. We also want him to grow old with our daughter. The only option is brain surgery and because of his size, it is very expensive.
We would love to keep our big boy around for a long life to grow up with our daughter and we would appreciate any help from the people who know Archimedes and would love to see him stick around.
Our family would be very grateful to anyone who is willing to help keep our little group together in anyway. The money would be used to cover the cost of his surgery and medication for the few months afterwards.
Anyone who donates will get a personal thank you card fromArchimedes with his sgnature paw print and an update after surgery. Thank you so much to all who help.
