Help Russell Bug see a specialist

In a nut shell, Russell Could possibly have cancer or an auto immune disease. We’ve exhausted our care credit line and spent what savings we had and y’all know we’re very prideful and we work so hard for our animals. We hate having to ask for help but we just are not ready to give up. 

the local vet is confused and is recommending we take our boy to a specialist in Medford. justto get an appointment we need to come up with $5,000 not including any of the other tests or treatments they may recommend to us. Russell is only 6, we aren’t ready to just give up on our baby yet. He’s the bestest boy in the wholeworld and we are all so broken and sad thinking about having to let our boy go. We just want to get a definitive diagnosis before we make a final decision so we can decide if it’s something we can manage and him still live a happy life.
