Help for Fiddler
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Fiddler Agosti. I am a 7-year old Brittany. I have not been feeling well lately. My mom has taken me to several veterinarians, including an oncologist. She says I have a cancer, Small Cell Lymphoma. I have been battling lumps for some time, and the doc finally diagnosed me last week. We were working on a plan to help me. However, I am now in pain. I am not eating well. My mom gives me a selection of different tasty foods each day, but I am just not able to eat much. Doc is suspicious that it is also in my GI tract which is very, very rare, but happens. Mom asked for prednisone but the doc oncologist said no, because it could ulcerate my GI tract if the cancer is there as well. Mom says we are possibly going with oral chemo ($600.00 a month) to hopefully give me a couple of months of comfort and quality of life. My medications at the moment cost about $400 a month and they include Pepcid, Cerenia, Entice, and Flagyl and now also on Roboxin and Gabapentin for a back ache (temporary). This does not include CBD oil for my stomach pain.
Mom stays by my side and cries a lot. She says I am her heart and soul, and her “foster whisperer.” Mom takes in a lot of fosters, mostly Brittany Spaniels like me. I love those fosters. I nurture them, make them comfortable and loved, and stay by their side no matter their back story. She recently took in a young Chihuahua who was pregnant and whelped her litter. Mom is my partner and best friend.
So, I took it upon myself as her heart boy to write this note and hopefully help my mom pay for comfort of life, and most importantly for her, in these last few months I have so we can snuggle every day in peace. I did the “arithmetic” and she will need $4,000.00-$5,000.00. This will also include all the crazy food she conjures up for me to eat, my drugs, possibly my oral chemo if given the go-ahead this week. If you can, please help us. I am writing this as my mom’s protector. I will always be by her side, an old soul. Written with love, Fiddler.
