Help our little Dottie

We have just received the worst news any pet owner could ever receive. Out of the blue, our beautiful Dottie, my partners first born (pug) has been diagnosed today with a tumour in her abdomen, which we are still trying to digest and come to terms with if I am being honest.

Background, my partner has been a volunteer with a pug rescue charity for many many years, fostering pugs that need help from greedy breeders, neglect or pugs bought during lockdown and no longer wanted.  They then find perfect happy ever after homes for the babies, transporting rescue pugs up and down the country, all for her love of pugs and animals in general. 

We now have four ourselves after adopting two more fur babies and I had to put my foot down and say no more fosters as she fails miserably to give them back.

With regards to our little Diva Dottie, she was with Pet Plan insurance and they declined to pay for her treatment as it is an existing condition relating to her liver (previously diagnosed and on her medical records) so when swapping from Kennel Club to Pet Plan, so since then, we have needed to pay cash for Dottie which have ran into the thousands but equally worth every penny to see her happy and loving life.  She is so feisty, loves her food, cuddles and is just an amazing little girl.   

The tumour needs a specialist to take a look, this involves a consultation, biopsy and CT Scan. The estimate for this investigation with scan is estimated at £3-4k.

The scan is to see if the tumour is isolated i.e not spread around her little body or attached to any of her organs.  Upon the results, it is at this stage we have tough decisions to make.

If god, the Universe or any other entity out there is looking down on us and the tumour is stand alone, it could potentially be removed with surgery . Again, this is something that will come out during her CT scan. The cost of the surgery is circa £3k.

We have savings of £2k which we need to pay before any consultation and we humbly ask if any good souls out there could help in anyway, big or small, every donation would help us enormously to give our amazing little girl the chance she so deserves.
