TL;DR

Boogers, world’s cutest dog, has a gallbladder infection and an infected tooth, and needs to raise $3000.00 to get the treatment she needs.

Hi, I’m Boogers!

I’m turning 13 on Wednesday, I like Froot Loops, walks in my little pink stroller, and people doing what I tell ‘em to! I'm the sneezinest gal there ever was, hence my name. I was born in Bastrop, Texas (during the 2011 fire), with wonky eyes and a leg that doesn’t work, but it takes more than that to keep a lady down! I’ve lived with my dad for four years now, and I love him to bits. Lately though, when we came back from the Big Mean Puppy Eaters (he calls ‘em the “vet” but I know what they are), he’s been acting real weird and nervous. He’s been giving me extra treats and snuggles though, so no complaints. My life is pretty great, because everybody wuvs me!

Hi, y’all,

Unfortunately, Boogers recently started losing weight, so I took her to the vet out of caution, and I’m glad I did. Her bloodwork came back with alarming results for her liver and gallbladder. I got her ultrasound done on Monday, and it turns out she likely has a gallbladder infection. Her gallbladder is full of cholesterol and her bile ducts are inflamed. She’s going to need antibiotics and several more vet visits, which will cost around $400. The initial bloodwork cost $307.14, and the ultrasound to diagnose her cost $934.85. On top of that, once she’s recovered, she needs surgery to remove her last tooth, which will cost around $1000.00.

I took over for her vet care in January 2020, and got her fixed, microchipped, caught up on her shots, several surgeries to remove her infected teeth, and more; all in all I’ve spent over $7,000 on her vet bills alone over the last few years. It hasn’t always been easy, far from it, but I knew the responsibility I was taking on to have a senior dog, and I’ve never had to turn to my community for support like this before. But this comes to me newly unemployed (the company went under), and while I’m actively seeking work, I simply don’t have the money saved up to afford what she needs on my own.

Boogers means everything to me, anyone who knows me knows that I’m the Guy With The Cute Dog. She’s gotten me through some tough times, and I have ALWAYS prioritized her care over everything else, even to my own detriment. People who know me also know that I never ask for money, it’s just not my way. This time, I’m prioritizing her needs over my pride, and asking for help.

My goal is to raise $3,000.00 which will cover the cost of her bloodwork, ultrasound, medications, follow-up visits, and dental surgery.

Any additional money raised will go towards her future care as she continues to be the silly little angel we all know and love for many years to come. I promise not to let her blow it all on Froot Loops.

Thank you,

Brandon
