Our sweet, playful 4-year-old Cockapoo, Levi, has always been the heart of our family. But recently, we've been faced with a heartbreaking challenge that threatens his life.

Levi started developing unusual snoring and wheezing, so we took him to the vet for an assessment. After some tests, Levi was referred to a specialist in Cambridge, where they discovered a large mass on his larynx. The mass has been diagnosed as a low-grade cell tumor, meaning it is spreading and, if left untreated, will suffocate him in a matter of months.

The specialists have advised a complex surgery to attempt removal of the mass. However, the procedure carries significant risks: it could result in the collapse of his voice box and airway, which would require the placement of a stent to keep him breathing for the rest of his life. Because of where the mass is located in his neck, this is a very rare and difficult surgery. We are hopeful that, if successful, Levi could return to a relatively normal life, but the future is uncertain.

While we are committed to giving Levi the best fighting chance, the financial burden is overwhelming. Our insurance has only covered £1,000 of the procedure, but the total cost is estimated to be £9,000 — and that doesn't include any aftercare or additional treatments.

We are reaching out to our community and asking for help to fund this life-saving surgery and give Levi the opportunity to continue being the loving, energetic dog we've cherished since the day we brought him home.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference and will go directly towards his surgery and recovery. We are truly grateful for all the support, kind words, and prayers we’ve already received during this difficult time.

Thank you for helping us give Levi a chance at a long, happy life. He’s only 4, and we believe he deserves the opportunity to keep running, playing, and living the life he loves.
