Help Mia Rose with her Medical Procedures
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tatiana. I'm the mom of a beautiful mixed doggy named Mia Rose.
I was fortunate enough to be able to adopt this little girl after she turned two years old.
The shelter I adopted her from, didn't know much of her background, but that she lived in an abusive household when she was rescued.
When I first met her in the shelter, I was warned that she was an aggressive dog who bites. Regardless, I still chose to walk her, and I immediately fell in love with her. She could not have been any sweeter, and at that very moment, I decided I would adopt her.
Ever since then, this little doggy has brought so much joy into my life and into my family’s life. She and I have shared many beautiful moments and very tough times as well.
A few months ago, Mia Rose started having what we thought were back problems. I took her to the vet; she started treatment & therapy to help with this. However, Mia hasn't been the same since developing what we thought were back problems. A few weeks after her initial diagnosis, she started having "episodes", in which I would find her lying on the floor, bed, or couch in a daze and in a puddle of her urine. These episodes started getting worse and more painful to the point where sometimes I couldn't even pick her up without her screaming.
My vet suggested I see a neurologist. After seeing the neurologist, he believes she is starting to show signs of epilepsy or, worst case scenario, a tumor in the brain. Unfortunately, she needs to get a series of tests and an MRI to determine what is going on with her. The neurologist quoted me $9,000 for these tests and MRIs. In the last few months, I've had to make multiple trips to the vet, which has taken a bit of a toll on my finances. Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot pay that amount, so I am asking for your help because I cannot fathom seeing her in pain.
I tried calling so many other Vet Neurologists for more economic quotes, but they are all expensive.
I cannot stand feeling like I am failing her as a dog parent. Kindly asking for you to help... any little bit helps. Mia Rose and I appreciate it!
