For Jack

I’m creating this fundraiser for my dog, Jack, my tiny 4½-pound Papillon who means the world to me. Jack suddenly began displaying signs of weakness and loss of balance just this past week, and to me, it came out of nowhere. After an urgent veterinary exam and bloodwork on Friday, we learned that he has significant anemia and may be bleeding internally. His veterinarians have recommended an abdominal ultrasound as the next step to find out what is happening. He desperately needs this ultrasound ASAP, along with additional tests, ongoing bloodwork to stay on top of the anemia, visits to specialists about his dangerous level of anemia, and medications to stabilize him.

Jack is so much more than a sick little dog. He is my constant companion, and even through all of this, he is still showing us the happy, playful little dog he is. He still wants to sniff everything on his walks, chase his squeaky toy, make his bed by flopping and kicking his little feet, hunt for his bedtime treats, and sit beside me watching everything I do. Those moments of the Jack I know and love are what I am fighting so hard to preserve. I’ve already used up my available funds on his bloodwork, exams, medications, and treatments, but Jack still urgently needs more care. I am trying everything I can to get him the diagnostic care he needs, but I cannot do it alone.

We are trying to raise funds for his ultrasound and other treatments. The funds raised will go directly toward his ultrasound, additional tests, medications, ongoing veterinary bills, and whatever further treatment or long-term care Jack may need. Any support for Jack’s care would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for keeping Jack in your thoughts and keep Jack in your prayers. If you’re not able to give, please share this fundraiser to help Jack get the treatment he needs.
