Hello my name is Klaudia .My friend's dog needs immediate help. I'm asking on her behalf because the family is devastated by the health of their best canine friend and family member. The dog, named Shadow (Rudy), is a Collie (Rough), a wonderful, cheerful ball- and dishcloth-buster. He fell ill overnight. His owners reacted quickly and diagnosed him with poison or a tick-borne illness. Everything was fine until he went outside. Rudy had to undergo a series of tests, including a blood transfusion. The medications, tests, and a stay at the veterinary hospital are a colossal expense for the family. They have little time for another transfusion. They will do everything to save him, but lack of funds and insurance issues prevent the family from continuing treatment. I'm begging for every pound. It's a matter of life and death for this wonderful dog. Please help him.
