Update on Teddy’s recovery
It has been an incredibly emotional week for us. Teddy went in for surgery on Monday, 1/12, to remove a large mass from his lung. While the surgery was a success, things took a scary turn Wednesday when they discovered air leaking out of his chest tube. We were told that without an immediate second surgery, he wouldn't make it.
We took the risk and Teddy pulled through again! He has shown us how strong of a fighter he is and how much he wants to stay with us❤️. He is currently recovering, though he still has fluid coming out of his chest tube requiring him to stay in Columbia a little longer than expected. This extended stay and the back-to-back surgeries have brought our costs to just over $20,000. If you are able to donate or share Teddy’s story, it would mean the world to us and Teddy. Thank you in advance!
Hello everyone, this is our sweet boy, Teddy. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting him knows just how great of a dog he is.
In November, we received the devastating news that Teddy has a large tumor in his left lung. We immediately began treatments to shrink it, but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. Even after trying a pre-chemotherapy treatment, the tumor has not responded; in fact, it has continued to grow. The tumor has now overtaken his entire left lung and is beginning to move into his right lung.
Our next and best hope is surgery to remove the mass. Because this is a very complex and risky procedure, Teddy is being taken to a hospital in Columbia, SC, where he can be in the hands of an expert medical team. This was an entirely unexpected expense that we were not prepared for. The estimated cost for surgery and recovery is $12,000.
We are asking for your help to give Teddy the fighting chance he deserves. Every donation will go directly towards his surgery and recovery. If you are unable to donate, just sharing this fundraiser would mean so much to us.
Thank you so much for reading Teddy’s story and for all your help!
