Eevee's Tumor Removal
Donation protected
Like most people, we treat our pets like they're family. Eevee is my oldest baby girl. She turned 10 in May and still has so much time left on this planet.
Last year, my husband and I noticed a lump on her jaw and immediately took her to her vet. We found out it was a tumor, noncancerous, but still very uncomfortable for her. It was keeping her from closing her mouth and it was growing over her teeth, which was making it hard for her to eat or play. We had it removed, as well as the two teeth it was growing over - this was in hopes of keeping it from growing back.
Unfortunately, a year later, it started growing back and more rapidly than before. As many know, animals will rarely show that they're in pain or uncomfortable, but we can see it. She's drooling because she can't close her mouth, the tumor is literally rotting in her mouth, causing her breath to severely stink, she has a hard time eating, she's stopped playing with her little sister - we can see that it's effecting her.
We want the rest of her life to be a dream, not miserable. She is healthy otherwise and her Primary Vet has told us, she still has a lot of life left! We just want her quality of life back. She is still apart of our family and I can't imagine not getting this surgery for her.
Unfortunately, due to recent events, I was out of work for 9 months and we didn't get to save like we did before, so our finances are low at the moment. The total of the surgery is roughly $7k. I'm only asking for a portion of that to be donated. We hate asking people for money, but our baby needs it.
