Many of you know me and a little of my story and what Baxter means to me and what he's done for me.

He got sick and was i took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. 2 days later they told me I had to bring him to a veterinary specialist hospital in Rhode Island. I did. He couldn't even walk or keep fluids down and wouldn't eat. They started him on all kinds of meds and did an ultrasound as well as new more sophisticated blood work. They discovered he has diabetes now. His potassium levels skyrocketed as well as his sodium levels. They are managing those and they are coming down. I received a call at 5:45 this morning that he may now have pneumonia. They placed him in an oxygen chamber and are monitoring him. Yesterday he was walking around and even trying to jump out of the technicians arms. They said you wouldn't know he was sick by looking at him.

The bills are over $8,000 right now. He needs to stay there days more at the very least at over $1,000 a day minimum depending on his level if care. I really need help with all of this to save him.

He has improved considerably since bringing him in until this morning. I will continue to do whatever I can to save him. This little boy saved my life more than once. "Literally " so I will not hesitate to do what I can to save his.

I owe where I am in my life now to him. He is the reason I got clean and sober almost 3 years ago and has been and additional motivation to remain this way.

He has been my everything for the past 8 years. I can't give up on him.

When and if he comes home he will need daily medication and vet visits multiple times a year.

All of this as you can imagine is outrageously costly. Im asking for you to help save him. If you can help donate I would forever be grateful! If you can't could you please share this.

Thank you.

Please pray for Baxter as well.

Update. I was able to pick Baxter up from the hospital last night. He is weak, but resting a lot. He is now on twice daily insulin along with a strict diet. He still has a ways to go, but I couldn't be more grateful that he's home with me. I'm very fortunate that he fought everything and so far is doing ok.

Obviously the veterinary bills are astronomical! Im over $13,000 in debt with his bills right now between both his primary vet and the veterinary emergency veterinary specialist with more care, medicine and bills to follow.
