Chewy's Medical Bill

Donation protected
Many of you knew Chewy, some of you don't. Those who did know she was one of a kind. She was 10 years old, and easily had 10 more left. She was taken from us too soon.

My family suffered a traumatic loss this week. Chewy was brutally attacked by three of the neighbor's dogs in my driveway on Wednesday evening (4/3). My best friend, my toddler, and I rushed her two and a half hours away, where our closest 24/7 emergency vet is located. After sedation and pain management were administered, an exam including xrays and blood work determined she had suffered extreme head trauma, a broken jaw, a broken femur, and fractured ribs. The vets worked all night to stabilize her and reduce swelling in her brain while I tried to secure funds to move her to UC Davis to have CT scans and surgeries performed.

I received the unfortunate call Thursday (4/4) morning that she was rapidly declining, and that even if unlimited funds were available it was extremely unlikely she would make it through surgeries and treatments.

I had to make the painful decision to end her suffering.

We are devastated and hurting, but are now riddled with a $3,000 debt, as well as additional unexpected travel and food costs and loss of work days. It's so hard to ask for help, but I am asking everyone who knew and loved Chewy, and even those who maybe didn't, for any help to relieve my family of any portion of this debt. Any amount helps, and all kind words and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

She was mine and my kids' companion, our family member. She was the most gentle, special soul. She was one of my best friends.

We will miss her forever.
