Remy, my dog and best friend, was taken to the ICU on Thursday after he suddenly began bleeding from his nose, gums, and even small cuts on his skin.

The ICU team ran tests and discovered he has immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT) his immune system attacked his own platelets, dropping them to nearly zero. Without platelets, his body cannot clot, and he began bleeding both internally and externally.

The doctors believe this was triggered by a bacterial infection from a tick bite.

Since Thursday, Remy has been in the ICU receiving blood transfusions and intensive treatment, fighting to stay alive until his body can start producing platelets again.

The good news is that dogs can fully recover from this. But the treatment takes time, and every extra day in ICU gives him a better chance.

The funds raised here will go directly toward Remy’s ICU care, blood transfusions, and life-saving treatment. The costs are rising quickly, but I want to give him every possible chance to pull through and come home.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you. Truly.

I’m not someone who asks for help easily, but Remy deserves more than my pride.

Most people come home to their dog every day. I’m fortunate enough that I never have to Remy goes everywhere with me. To work, every single day. Wherever I go, he’s there.

We’ve spent more time together than most people ever get with their best friend. More time than some dads even get with their kids. And I’m eternally grateful for that.

Through the hardest seasons of my life, Remy has been constant. Loyal. Unwavering. A true blessing.

The thought of losing him cuts deeper than I can put into words.

Whatever you’re able to give , even just sharing this , means more than I could ever say.

You’re not just helping me pay a bill.

You’re helping me bring my best friend home.
