Akiva had a successful surgery and is now home from the emergency vet and recovering!!!
Thank you so much everybody for helping us save her life and get her back on the path to health and happiness!!
Akiva is our miniature dachshund mix. She is so energetic, happy, and playful.
We came home to her on 12/9 shaking and lethargic. We took her to Shores Emergency Vet and learned that her stomach is not emptying. Through x-rays, we have learned that her stomach is continuing to expand despite having not eaten. It seems like surgery may be necessary. We have used our savings, CareCredit, and credit cards and are just trying to get her the help she needs so she can come home and be the happy, energetic dog that she is.
We just got the estimate on the cost of surgery and it ranges anywhere from $6000-$8700.
Anything at all helps.
Thank you.
