Hi, my name is Kait and I have a 1.5 year old English Setter who recently stopped eating and drinking water around memorial day weekend, and started throwing up stomach bile after eating two shoe insoles. Upon our initial vet visit, they found inflammation in his intestines and one lymph node, but no signs of anything lodged. Radiologists didn't suspect cancer and the doctors sent us home with anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications. He seemed to improve over the weekend but "relapsed" during the following days still throwing up. Since then I have been giving him as much puree'd dog food, beef broth and whatever food he will take. He has lost significant weight from not getting protein. The first vet visit cost about $1,000. On June 11th I took him to another vet for blood work and another ultrasound to see what is going on and they found an obstruction that the first ultrasound missed. The deposit is $6,550 and the surgery in total costs around $10,000. He will have to stay at the vet for at least two days to be monitored, and if there are complications it may cost even more. Cam is just a baby, he deserves to experience life and play with his human sister as they grow up together. I have been with him almost everyday since he was 8 weeks old, he is my first baby. I am so upset, but I have positive thoughts that he will have it removed and everything will go smoothly and he will heal. Anything helps at all and is greatly appreciated, and we have no issues setting up a payment plan with anyone who donates. Thank you in advance.
