Sarah's dog Olivia needs emergency surgery
Spende geschützt
I'm hoping I have some good karma from all the causes I've donated to over the years, I've never had to do this before, so here it goes.... Many of you have had the pleasure of meeting my sweet sweet pibbylabby mix, Olivia. Oh, Olivia...I love this dog.
The best part about Olivia is her temperament , she'll make you diabetic with her sweetness.I knew she was special when she wandered up the steps to the adjacent apartment in a rain storm looking scared and thin. I took her inside my tiny apartment where her and penny instantly became best friends. She had a cut on her paw that she let me clean out as I bathed her . When we were all done, she got in my bed and fell asleep fast and so hard, she was home.
That was on Christmas eve 2011. Olivia has always had a knack for getting in trouble, especially with her naughty sister Penny as her mischievous side kick. Somehow we've managed to always get out of any precarious situation unscathed, lesson learned. She's been to the vet for ingesting a container of onion powder, muscadine grapes, fertilizer, 5htp, and I'm probably missing one of two. Oh, ant baits. Did I mention she's epileptic?
We got through all of those kerfuffles with some semblance of grace.
But this time she really made a poor life choice.
Apparently gorilla glue is delicious. She managed to find a brand new bottle in my craft box and proceeded to destroy it and ingest some of the contents. The thing that makes gorilla glue so much worse than other glues is that it expands similar to that gap filler foam, Moisture exacerbates the situation. If you have ever gotten water on fresh gorilla glue you'd know that it expands exponentially, turning into a hard yellow foam. That was May 1st.
Initially I thought we dodged a bullet because 3 ERs and 6 hours later she was still her happy self, acting totally normal. That lasted almost 2 weeks. Then she stopped taking her meds easily and fix was falling out of her mouth as she ate very small bites . Since then she's been to the vet 3 times. Today's visit was a fasted radio graph of her stomach to compare to the one we took earlier in the week. There it was. Plain as day.
We're taking her to UGA today for emergency surgery. Her kitty friends have graciously offered her one of their 9 lives, I don't have the heart to tell them that it doesn't work that way. I pray that she has just one more lucky break in her.
I'm hoping to raise at least half of the money via go fund me because Penny also needs a $400 test for a definitive Cushings diagnosis. They're old ladies and I love them. My animals are my children. Thank you thank you thank you for your help . Share with your animal loving friends.
