Help Us Save Willow

Our beloved dog Willow is in hospital, and we need your help to get her the treatment she needs to recover.

On Friday, Willow was admitted to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals. A blood test revealed she had zero platelets - meaning her blood can’t clot. Her immune system had gone into overdrive and started attacking her own body. We suspect this began a few weeks ago after she had a booster jab while she was still recovering from a mild illness.

So we picked her up from the hospital on Sunday only for her condition to worsen. She became severely anaemic and had to be rushed back in for an emergency blood transfusion - we were told it might take more than one. However, despite seeing the light fade from her eyes we have been told that it's a curable condition.

However, as there isn't a dog-NHS and we never quite got around to organising insurance (note to self!) we're finding ourselves with increasing bills and no way to pay - it's been more than a year of repeated rainy days.

Now we know that there are more important things in the world to be worrying about - and even in our own homes - but Willow and her brother Tango have been the light in what has otherwise been a fairly awful year and a half - they've kept us going. And now we want to keep Willow going. She's only four - and we just want our vibrant, crazy, sweet, loving, beautiful dog back.

If you’re able to support Willow’s recovery in any way — whether by donating, sharing this page, or simply sending good energy — we’re deeply grateful. We know the goal is a lot, and honestly, we don’t expect to reach it - but every single contribution will help.
