Emergency vet bills for Charley Horse

Hi my name is Theresa and I am hoping to help one of my best friends raise money for her tiny fur baby's emergency scans.

Charley is a 13 years old Min Pin cross who loves to give anyone who will allow all her love and more. She has been with the same family her entire life and has brought so much joy to everyone she meets.

Unfortunately she started having seizures over the last few months and they are getting more frequent and violent. Sadly, Charley is too small to have scans done in our small northern community and will need to be flown to either BC or Alberta to see a specialist. These tests are estimated to be around $2500-3500, this does not include the flight, hotel stay or meals for her owner who would need to go with her.

Any left over funds will be donated to either the local animal shelter or another pet emergency in our community.

Please if you can help by donating or just sharing the link we are grateful for any help you can offer.

Further information from the owner:

This little girl had a very scary seizure a couple days ago around 530am. She woke me up by thrashing in bed. I thought she was pawing at the blankets to remake her sleeping nest like usual but when I lifted the covers for her, she didn't move. I flicked the light on immediately and could do nothing but watch and reassure her that I was there and that she's ok. Called the on-call vet and they had Alpine as the on-call place this night. They informed me that they wanted a minimum of $490 for the call out fee and then they'd want to do all new blood work and whatnot. Well, All Paws had just done blood work on her a week and a half prior and All Paws is her vet so I opted to monitor her and wait for 8am when All Paws opened. When I called, they squeezed her right in, we saw Candace. She explained that advanced imaging would be helpful because at this point there is nothing jumping out at her as to a reason of why she was having a seizure. The scans however are roughly $2500-3000 and must be done in either BC or Alberta so this amount does not include the exam fee, and further testing should they choose, my flight, hotel, food, etc. She said it is most likely idiopathic seizures which just happen for no reason or she could have a tumor. Because of her age, she would guess that it's most likely a tumor but we won't know unless she gets imaging. Candace did say that monitoring her for any other signs is fine too but if it keeps happening or progresses, we have to talk about quality of life. Charley will be 13 in less than 2 weeks, which makes her approx 91 in human years. She's my little gramama.

Hold your fur babies tight, they're only on this earth for a very short while but their impact lasts a lifetime. i will treasure every last minute I have with her. She's such a good dog.
