Dixie's Urgent Surgery for a Better Life
Donation protected
Update-7/24 bloodwork, xrays came back clear, they did unfortunately find another tumor they want to remove, so our cost goes up but we have a good prognosis and future, given her age vet said she is in good shape. ❤️ thank you for everyone who donated thus far, please continue to share if you dont mind so I can reach my goal..
I never thought I would be the one to create a fund for one of my dogs. I've always been the one on the giving end. This isn't an easy ask for me, Anyone who knows me, definitely knows I go lengths to ensure my dogs are cared for, from bella heart condition, and supplying all medications, to Athena liver and kidney diagnosis 2yrs ago, providing her with the proper foods and supplements and follow up appointments for blood work. I've never struggled to provide, well this hit me unexpectedly.
Well, after 16 years, my first fur baby is in need of surgery. On 7/17, I noticed one of Dixie's many lumps was a bit larger than it was at her wellness checkup on 6/30. I made note and continued my day. Well, on 7/19, we were outside doing morning business and she was her happy self, rolling on her back. I noticed what was a horrific sight: that lump had grown massively to the point it ruptured, I immediately called the vet and took her straight there, They assured me she wasn't dying, but they fear possible cancer. With her age, I wasn't surprised but shocked; she had perfect labs in June, and outside of her lumps, they said she looks great. We put a plan together. She is scheduled Thursday for chest X-rays to rule out cancer in the lungs. If cleared, we are going in to remove the mass. Dixie is so full of life, she still plays in backyard and loves her toys, she even can still run.. well trot fastly, however this bill hit hard as I'm just finally recovering from Athena's liver issues and massive bills. I've attached 2 estimates 1 for surgery estimate, which they said will probably be on the higher side, along with X- raysTotal cost for everything is gonna be around $2200, that's praying no complications. I'm waiting to see if donations can be called in directly to England Run. I will update when I receive that answer. Please consider donating and help me reach my goal so Dixie can continue to live her golden years pain-free. I greatly appreciate everyone. If you can't donate, please share.. ❤️
