Help Scooter recieve life saving treatment

Hello, my name is Emma. I am a dog groomer with a neurological disorder, and "mum" to my 2 dogs, Scooter and Daisy, and stepmum to Nala. It's been a hectic couple of years for us, I've had cancer, we've had to close our grooming salon 6 times now (yay lockdown!) and now my baby man is sick.

Scooter is 10 years old. He is a beautiful Papillon who has been with me through all my various woes over the last 10 years. Now it's my turn to take care of him and I can't afford it. He has been diagnosed with mitral valve disease which is an incurable heart problem that will eventually become terminal. He also has a mass in his lung that is currently being looked at by a specialist. I've already spent $1500 and don't even have a proper diagnosis yet. He will need an echocardiogram to confirm how damaged his heart is and then further specialist help with his heart and lungs.

It is such an incredibly stressful time and to top it off I've been injured and unable to work for around 6 weeks now. I'm just managing to scrape by on centrelink but can't afford any more care for him. I desperately need help.

Thank you for reading. He is the reason I wake up in the morning and I need to help him however I can. He is such a special dog and deserves everything.
