Hi my name is Demi and I’m fundraising for my 9 year old chihuahua sparky, who I have had since I was 10

With sparkys current state of his heart the average survival is 2-6 months, it could even sadly just be weeks (which I refuse to believe). But there is a surgery, TEER, that would help the valve stop its leaking and backflow into his lungs, that will help him live. He needs it ASAP as his little heart isnt doing well at all.

I’m hoping to raise money to save my sparky. The costs are very high, around £13,000. I have already spent £5,000 on his medical needs in the last 2 months.

Even now while in heart failure sparky still enjoys his cuddles, food, and walks so this surgery would tremendously improve his quality of life and add valuable years to our time together. I love sparky, he’s more than just my pet. He’s been by my side for most of what I can remember.

Our Dogs aren’t on earth with us for long enough at all, let’s not let sparkys be cut even shorter. If you’d like to help extend our time together I will be eternally greatful.

Thank you for reading and supporting my baby ❤️

***At this moment of time sparky has been to the vets multiple times (some of his forms are on one of the pictures)

Part of the criteria to be eligible for the heart surgery is that they have been stable on the meds used to treat heart failure, which he takes, for at least a few weeks before the surgery.

This fundraiser is directly contributed towards his heart surgery costs. I am happy to give out the vets details for anyone to speak to them directly about him.
