Sweet Millie Needs (Another) Surgery

Donation protected

I'm Nicky, Millie's mom, and I am humbly asking for your help in paying for Millie's unexpected surgery. If you have ever met Millie or seen photos/videos of her playing, you know she has a HUGE goofball personality. She is filled to the brim with love, and her #1 goal in life is to give as many face kisses as possible. Her favorite things are swimming, wrestling with her dog friends, and playing with the hose in the backyard. With such a high energy girl, I noticed right away when she started acting lethargic. We spent the entire night between June 8th and 9th awake, with Millie vomiting and experiencing diarrhea every hour.



What started as a routine vet visit the next morning for this revealed two issues: Millie has a foreign object in her stomach, and a mass located on or near her lungs. The silver living, the doctor said, is that both of these issues were caught early. While we don't yet know what the second mass is, Millie is being prepped for surgery as I type this to address her stomach issue. There is a small chance that the doctor may be able to get a look at the second mass, but he put the likelihood as pretty low. After she recovers from today's procedure, the most likely scenario is a referral to a larger animal hospital for a biopsy or CT scan to identify the second mass.



All of this has been extremely unexpected, given how young and otherwise healthy Millie is. I would of course do anything it takes to ensure the wellbeing of my best friend, but Millie's vet bill is already over $4,000, not including future procedure to diagnose the mass. If you feel driven to even give a few dollars to help pay for Millie's current and future care, it would make the world of difference to our little family. Plus, you get an IOU for all the face kisses you can handle when Millie is feeling better!
