Dollars for Dutch Round 2!
Donation protected
First of all, thank you to everyone who donated to the Dollars for Dutch fundraiser created by Jenny. I was overwhelmed at the response and the love which is why I created this one.
Between Jenny’s fundraiser and personal donations to me directly, we raised almost 1/3 of what was at the time a $3,000 vet bill. Since Dutch had her first seizure, bills have gone up another $1,000, and the MRI testing she needs is estimated to be another $3,000-4,000.
As you all know Dutchess was hospitalized last month for pancreatitis. Its been a hellish month of her being in and out of the vet and emergency animal hospital. Shortly after her hospitalization she had a really terrible seizure. We don’t know if the seizure was caused by the pancreatitis medication, stress, degeneration to the discs in her neck, or something worse like brain inflammation or a tumor.
Since the seizure she’s been having concerning neurological symptoms and is now having head and neck MRIs, ultrasounds, and other testing to figure out what is wrong so she can hopefully start getting better!
I hate doing this more than you guys know and I try to be as independent as I can when it comes to Dutch. She’s my baby and my entire world. This has been a really overwhelming and honestly traumatic time for me. I understand there is a LOT going on in the world right now and if you can’t donate that is OKAY. She will still receive treatment and please know I am doing literally everything I can for her. It’s just a lot right now.
Please continue to send us all the love you can—I really appreciate it more than you know!
