Help Tenacious Fight Pneumonia

My name is Aleeah and my dog Tenacious needs help fighting pneumonia. I’ve had Tenacious since he was 2 months old, I was newly diagnosed with depression and anxiety at 13 and my dad thought a dog would help me…he was absolutely right. Tenacious is my entire world and I’ve always said he’s helped me more than I think any human could’ve throughout my life. He is as attached to me and as I am to him, and even at his age before getting sick he still enjoyed playing fetch, still had zoomies and most people couldn’t have guessed his age and always thought he was was much younger. He was in great heath for his age as his checkups showed.

I’ve been able to support him through some other major medical treatments myself such as a torn ACL in 2018 and removing all his teeth just last year. This time around, he got diagnosed with pneumonia on Monday night and I could not afford the $5K+ bill to keep him at the hospital. I paid $1,500 and took him home with some antibiotics hoping I could manage, but Tenacious has stopped wanting to eat and if he isn’t eating he cannot take his medication. The vets tell me the medication is making him not want to eat and that I should take him back to emergency to get some IV treatments even if I can’t have him hospitalized.

I need help to either hospitalize him if I can get the funds for that or at least get some rounds of IV antibiotics going. My little man means everything to me, and if the odds weren’t in his favor I wouldn’t even ask or reach out but please if there is anything at all you can give it would at least help him get some IV rounds. Besides not eating, his breathing seems to be steady and he’s still drinking lots of water so I’m sure he can make it through!

Thank you in advance,

Aleeah & Ricardo and all of Tenacious’ fam
