Hello! I am attempting to raise money for a very dear friend of mine and her sweet boy Nugget. Nugget is 8 1/2 years young and a spry little pup at that. He was recently diagnosed with Sarcoma cancer in his front left leg. A year ago Taylor took nugget to the vet due to a mass in his paw and was told it was just fatty tumor and was nothing to worry about. A year later he was slowly digressing and seemed to be in a lot of pain so she took him in again to find that it was in fact cancer and had tripled in size over the year she was told it was “nothing to worry about”. Since then, He’s had 2 syringe cultures taken to confirm that it was cancer, and one sedated surgical biopsy to remove tissue from deeper in the mass to determine how aggressive she needs to be with treatment. Which the end result is him needing an amputation of his front left leg. His mass is such sick tissue he had the biopsy done October 27th and his paw still won’t heal so she’s had to take him back and wrap it multiple times to stop bleeding. And he’s been on pain and sedation medication to keep him comfy until she can get the surgery done. Taylor rescued nugget from a place that supported puppy mills and he only weighed one pound when she got him later she took in another pup penny who is a special needs dog in which her and nugget are very attached to each other . Nuggets chances without this surgery aren’t great , likely a year or less but with the surgeryhe can get at least 5+ more with penny and Taylor and believe me they all NEED each other He had been in a great deal of pain so we are trying to get together anything and everything we can to get the ball rolling in this surgery so he can get back to a semi- normal, adorable three legged life. With everything going on in the world we realize things are tight for many but literally anything helps even just sharing this to get itfurther out there . For anyone that knows Taylor she would put her self out for literally ANYONE and it’s very rare for her to ask for anything if she can obtain it herself . But everybody needs a little help sometimes and this little family deserves it more than anyone I personally know . So please donate, share, repost anything helps. This little boy deserves a full and happy life since the chance for it is there
