This is Roland, my 13 year old chihuahua, and we could use your help.

What I thought was an acute eye irritation, has now turned into a large ulcer that needs immediate attention. It’s very painful for him, and from the looks of it, his eye will likely need to be removed. The main photo was taken prior to the ulcer developing, but the other two show his current state.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the extra funds to take care of this, but I want his pain to be relieved as soon as possible. The vet has quoted me $1000 to remove his eye, but I also know there may be additional fees incurred.

If you are in a position to donate, I would consider it an absolute blessing and would be extremely grateful. If there are any donated funds left over, I will donate them to Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE), a nonprofit whose mission is to “prioritize and amplify BIPOC and other Marginalized Voices using Narratives, Research, and Community-Centered Investments.” You can find more info on them at www.careawo.org

Thank you for any help you can provide.
