Hi everyone, and my wonderful dog community! Deaf dog momma, Aimee to my beautiful silver lab girls, Pixie and Lola.

This is really hard for me to write, but I know Pixie needs me to.

Since early January, something hasn’t been right. Pixie started having digestive issues that I hoped would pass, but over time they’ve only gotten worse.

She’s now having frequent loose stools (around 10 or more times a day), constant hunger, and noticeable weight loss. It’s been heartbreaking watching her lose weight right in front of me. I don’t like seeing her so skinny, and I know something deeper is going on.

We’ve been working closely with our vet. Her recent bloodwork and heartworm test came back normal in early March, but we still don’t have answers.

The next step is a GI panel — a test that can help us understand what’s happening and rule out conditions like Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). This will help us get clear answers and start the right treatment so she can feel better.

Pixie is my heart and soul dog, my comfort, and my hearing dog. She supports me every single day in ways I can’t fully put into words, and she means everything to me. Now I just want to be there for her the way she’s always been there for me.

She is scheduled for an appointment on Tuesday, March 24th to complete this testing, and we are hoping this will finally give us the answers she needs.

The cost for this testing is about $630, and I’ve set the goal slightly higher to help cover additional fees and follow-up care. After recent vet visits, medications, and ongoing care, I’m struggling to cover this on my own.

This wasn’t easy for me to ask. Pixie is my world, and I can’t do this alone.

If you’re able to donate, I would be so deeply grateful. If not, even sharing this would mean so much — truly, every bit helps and goes directly toward Pixie’s care.

Please don’t feel any pressure — your support in any form means everything to us.

We love this community and are so grateful for all the love and support you have shown Pixie and Lola. It truly means more than I can express.

Thank you from my heart for caring about Pixie and being here for us. ✨

With deepest gratitude, love and hope,

Aimee, Pixie & Lola
