This is Bambi. Bambi is a pitbull mixed with… something. She has held my son’s heart since the day we brought her home, and when she turned four, our lives turned upside down. She’s always had a sensitive tummy (which I assumed was credited to her pit background), but a vet visit uncovered her stage 3 kidney disease. I decided to get allergy panels to try and best figure out how to support her and this poor girl is allergic to everything under the sun, aside from pork, potatoes, and, kangaroo. She stopped eating, stopped moving and both my son and I were devastated. I had to go through a week and a half of feeding and watering her via a syringe, another week of watching her slowly and sadly lap up a pork moosh, and now I home cook her meals each and every night. I’ve had to watch this poor girl go through a horrific weight loss and a tremendous amount of hair loss.

But she needs more. She needs a vet, she needs medical help, she needs me to let go of my own personal pride and ask for help from my community. I work full time but I’m struggling to afford to buy her pork at this point, let alone the care she deserves. Any help will be tremendously appreciated.
