Help Kelly's Vet Bills
Donation protected
If you know Raven, you definitely know Kelly. My friend Raven has had Kelly since she was a puppy and Kelly is the sweetest golden retriever you could ever hope to meet! Kelly has been with Raven through thick and thin with her brother Bagels. Much like our friend Raven who is there for anyone in need, whenever a shoulder is needed to cry on--Kelly is there. Whenever kisses and laughs are needed--Kelly. Now, Kelly needs help from us.
Recently, Kelly has been having serious health problems. She was already scheduled for surgery to repair a torn ACL which would help make walking easier and less painful for her (she LOVES walks/hikes and she misses them terribly.) Sadly within the last few days, She developed a sudden paralysis, drooping, swelling and pain in the right side of her face and doctors are working to figure out why. If you have a fur baby of your own, you know this will require expensive diagnostic tests to get to the root cause and help to get Kelly back to having a healthy and happy life. Raven has pet insurance for Kelly, but everything needs to be paid upfront and then she may be reimbursed later. She has been paying for everything out of pocket, which is getting harder to afford. Raven has endured some immense hardships this year with her own health, recovering from neurosurgery, learning to walk again and partial facial paralysis herself all while advocating for disability from her employer. Raven would move the sun and stars for her beloved fur babies and right now, she need some help getting them moving for Kelly.
Kelly has been hospital twice in the last 3 days and many other Veterinary and specialty care appointments.
Yesterday alone she spent nearly $2000 for X-rays, sedation, pain management and hospitalisation. After being discharged Kelly began breathing irregularly and vomiting so Raven rushed her back to the Emergency vet for another $1000.
This morning Raven was able to get Kelly seen my a Veterinary Neurologist that is hopeful that this may be something that can be easily treatable (they have some theories on what may be the culprit) but they'll need to do an MRI, which means Anesthesia, which means Chest X rays and more bloodwork for a total of $5800. This doesn't include treatment of whatever the issue is.
Any help, even if it's just sharing this with others, is greatly appreciated (Kelly is sending you all big kisses for taking the time to read this, share with other and donate if you can.)
