Oliver - family dog suffering sudden blindness

Hello my name is Kendall and I am trying to raise funds for our family dog Oliver. He’s eight years old and has fallen ill and became totally blind overnight. He also started having frequent accidents in the house which is not typical of him. He is my three year old’s very best friend. He’s head over heels for our older daughter who is off in college. He’s my best walking buddy and his moms favorite personal foot warmer. On this Mother’s Day we noticed he was bumping into things and seemed disoriented. When I took him for a walk later in the day he was walking into cars, walking off the curb and tripping like he had no idea he was going off the edge. We got him to the vet the very next day and the Veterinarian confirmed he is totally blind and his eyes are not responding to light. Just days ago we were at the park playing fetch and he was catching treats in his mouth. Needless to say we are devastated. So far we have set him up for blood tests and he is going to a K9 ophthalmologist . Any donations to help would mean the world to us, and to him. As we’re not sure what is wrong with him we do not have a specific goal yet. All we know so far is blood work and initial assessment at the eye doctor is close to $500. Beyond that, we just don’t know what we’re dealing with yet. We expect he will need some sort of treatment. We are not asking for all of his medical bills to be paid through donations here, just to help soften the blow to our family’s finances so we are able to provide our good boy with the care he needs while still being able to keep up with normal expenses. Please, do not donate if you cannot afford to.

Thank you,

Oliver and Family
