Help Mocha Through Cancer Surgery
Donation protected
Hi all. My name's Royce, and this is my friend Anita's dog Mocha. Anita is one of the nicest and sweetest friend's one can have, always caring for others as well as her fur baby of 11 years, Mocha. She's always put others first before herself and it broke my heart hearing about her current situation. Being a dog owner myself, I wouldn't be able to bear letting a dog go if he/she had a fighting chance. Anita doesn't know that I'm doing this for her but after hearing about her and Mocha's story, I feel obliged to try and help her out as best as I can as she is faced with quite the uphill battle.
Mocha is an 11 year old male Pomeranian who on the 14th of January, 2021 after going into seizures was rushed to a veterinary clinic where he was diagnosed with a mass in the kidney. Luckily, it seemed as if the mass had not moved, and was only affecting one kidney. Upon further lab work, ultrasound, and investigation, it was diagnosed to be cancerous. Mocha was also diagnosed with a pancreatic infection and had to be put on a course of IV antibiotics for a few days and was released on the 17th of January.
On the 24th of January (1 day before his birthday), Mocha was luckily able to be admitted into Canada West for assessment and hopefully a second lease on life. After labs and ultrasound was done, he was cleared for surgery. Currently January the 26th, 2021, Mocha has just finished his surgery. His kidney, spleen, and a portion of his pancreas was removed as the tumor had pressed up against those organs. Due to mild to moderate loss of blood, he has been provided both a blood and plasma transfusion and as far as I know he is currently stable in ICU.
Unfortunately, the cost of lab tests, surgery, and recovery itself is astronomical, but to myself and Anita worth it hence why I'm asking for some help. Dogs are in just a small part of our lives, but to them we are their whole life. Lets try and give Mochibear some more time to spend with his friends and family. Thank you for all of your support!
