Hello my friends, this is my sweet angel Dobby❤️. As most everyone in close proximity knows, we have been going through a tumultuous time regarding her health for the last year, accumulating to this. Dobby has developed extreme glaucoma in both of her eyes and needs to have them removed (Enucleation) and is unfortunately our last resort.:( This is a result of a very uncommon fungal infection she developed in her eyes which we’ve been fighting over the last couple of months. As of the beginning of August, she has become permanently blind, and the ongoing uveitis has developed into secondary glaucoma in both of her eyes. This is a condition that can be somewhat managed by medication, though she is not responding to medication in a sustainable manner and in the long term the only option to avoid her eyes rupturing is removal.  Over the last 6 months, I have spent thousands of dollars trying to keep Dobby safe, alive, and healthy. I have exhausted all of my savings and resources doing so. Money in medication(so soo much medication) ((swear im a nurse at this point)) bloodwork, scans, pressure tests alone has set me back to a place where ive had to think about if it was financially sustainable to keep fighting for her. there’s nothing more demoralizing than having to consider choosing between financial ruin or precious, important life. Giving up just isn’t an option anymore.  So here, i ask you—friends, family, acquaintances, strangers for your help to save, and keep fighting for my best friend. i sincerely hate to ask, just know i only do out of complete desperation and exhaustion of options. and know i am so so eternally, endlessly grateful for the care and support that you have to give. Funds would go towards the surgery itself as well as rechecks, additional testing, medication, and recovery. Thank you for your help in keeping my girl around, and healthy so i can continue to watch her grow old. She has just celebrated her 8th birthday, a birthday I feared for a few weeks I wouldn't be able to see. In turning 8, I realized that she has been with me for over a third of my entire life. I was there the moment she joined this earth, i was only 14 and I’ve now had her love and warmth the entirety of my lived adulthood. I’ve held her close through all of my most life-altering moments, and she has held me back.(literally, she’s gives absolutely killer hugs) A love so unconditional and unwavering that it changes my life, continuously, everyday. she makes me a better mel. Her, and my other dogs, are the biggest pillar of my life, my motivation to wake up, to work, to relax. I have 2 other dogs: Zoe, Dobby's biological mother, and Bear, her littermate. We’re a unit, and a family.  I’ve felt the fear as of late that I’d have to give up on her earlier, before she was ready to let go because I simply could not afford to keep trying and keep fighting for her on my own. Asking for help is an absolute last resort, but I had a chat with her and we’ve decided we’re going to keep fighting until she asks me to stop.    She’s getting old, all my dogs are. But I feel deep in my soul I have many, many more years with her, with all of them. Loving them has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my whole life. Though i’ll forever miss gazing into her icy baby blues, I’ll be absolutely damned if I don’t get to see all of my dogs turn 10. Both me and the universe are better off with them around. eyes or no eyes!  Thank you so much for listening to our story and caring about my cross eyed (soon to be no-eyed) girl. Life stays grim and difficult but she still shines so bright and warm each and every day, simply because she knows nothing else than to be perfect. Thank you for helping me keep her warmth in arms reach, it means all the difference in the world. Eternally grateful for any support you have to give, everything and anything makes all the difference in our lives.❤️❤️❤️   xxLove from Mel, Dobby, Zoe and Bear ❤️❤️❤️❤️   Who needs eyes anyways?
