Help pay Dylan's vet fee for Alabama Rot treatment

Donation protected
My beautiful, but very unlucky dog, Dylan, contracted Alabama Rot just less than two weeks ago. Thankfully, it was caught early and he is coming home on Thursday 4th March. The vets that saw him acted quickly and arranged specialist treatment in London at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in London. The RVC have done a truly wonderful job and looked after him incredibly well. They kept me updated every step of the way, informed me of all the news on him - both good and bad - and sent me photos and videos so I could see how he was getting on.  

Now the treatment has come to an end, and as he has done before, Dylan has gone WAY over his insurance limit. This unlucky boy is no stranger to large vets fees unfortunately! Previously I have borrowed money, but I am still in the process of paying that debt off. I need your help to cover his vets fees for his treatment this time around, as he also requires ongoing treatment with expensive monthly medications. 

Historically, Dylan has been very ill on a regular basis and has had treatment for:

- A lung torsion (where the lobe of the lung twists and dies which can be fatal and nearly was on both occasions) on two separate occasions
- An e-coli infection
- Pleural effusion (fluid in the lungs coming from his thoracic duct which was nearly fatal)
- Arthritis
- Cognitive decline/dementia
- Haemorrhagic gastroenteritis (for which he was in quite a bad way)
- And now, Alabama Rot

Despite being so unlucky, Dylan brings me more joy than anything in the world. He is a loving, sweet boy who loves life. These last two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster - cases of Alabama Rot have a very small recovery rate, and once again, Dylan proved he is the King of the Comeback. 

Your help in raising funds will mean so much to both me and Dylan  - I will be able to ensure his monthly medications are provided for his arthritis and dementia, while also saving anything I can in the event he takes poorly again ... which given his history I am fairly certain he will.

He's been through so much in his life, and I want to be able to do everything I possibly can to make sure he is as healthy and as happy as he can be. For this to happen, I need your help. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to anyone who contributes to paying off Dylan's vet fees; I cannot describe just how grateful I am to everyone who helps, you are ensuring Dylan maintains a quality of life, and you are also saving me from huge amounts of stress and anxiety.

Dylan and I thank you so much from bottom of our hearts!! 

UPDATE: Upon discharge from the RVC, Dylan started showing symptoms of liver problems for which he is currently hospitalised and receiving treatment.
