Cancer battle/amputation aid for Hatchi!
This is hard. More than anything I want to be able to "fix" everything on my own. The past three months have been a battle of Hatchi being in pain and three different veterinarians not knowing why. So many tests were run, so many medications and treatments were tried. At the time the idea of cancer wasn't a possibility to anyone. Our last vet visit was due to Hatchis left hind leg suddenly blowing up 2-3 times its normal size, it was no longer weight bearing at all, he collapsed three times just trying to move around and had a terrible fever. This led to my vet deciding to run the tests for the possibility of cancer.
Unfortunately that's now the reality we are facing. After many consultations its been determined that his absolute best chance at a LIFE is amputating that leg a little above the knee.
He's only 6 years old. He is so full of life and energy and should have so much more time. The vet assured me if the amputation takes all the cancer with it Hatchi will have a normal life again, even with three legs.
I've been working three jobs since Hurricane Harvey; where we lost our apartment, everything along with it, and had to move into an unideal environment that has become dangerous to our health. It's taken a long time to get back to where I was and then also save up enough to move us into a healthy/safe space. All of his medical has quickly blown through the funds I had to do that. I have absolutely no regrets and he will always come first but now I am desperate. I need him in my life and I have to do everything I can to keep him here and give him back his life.
I'm not sure if this is even in the realm of possibilities but anything past whats needed for his amputation will be put towards his rehab and moving into a living situation that will be safer for his recovery.
I will update as we go through this process. Any amount of donation helps and if you cant donate sharing this around is also incredibly appreciated! Thank you already for taking the time to look through our plea.
