Hi, my name is Darren and I am fundraising for my beautiful dog, Cookie.

Cookie unexpectedly became pregnant and sadly required an emergency caesarean section. She underwent a major operation, with a large incision from her belly down to her vulva. Since the surgery, she has been trying her best to care for her puppies, but she is struggling. She is not eating or drinking properly, which means she is unable to produce enough milk for her pups.

Over the past five days, we have been back and forth to the vets multiple times. We have needed help to ensure the puppies are able to go to the toilet, which sometimes works, but we are still facing ongoing issues. Cookie now needs to return to the vets again, but we are completely out of funds due to the cost of the surgery and repeated vet visits.

Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover pregnancy-related care, which has left us in a very difficult position. My partner and I are exhausted, stressed, and running on very little sleep. Our anxiety has been overwhelming, and those who know us understand how deeply we love our dogs and how much this situation is affecting us.

We are asking for help to raise enough money to get Cookie the care she urgently needs, so she can recover fully and continue to nurse her beautiful puppies. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help give Cookie and her babies the best chance at a healthy future. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story.
