Tyson's care is in jeopardy! He needs surgery! We need help to get it for him!

Tyson, our 12 year old schnauzer --and the friendliest dog you've ever met -- found himself in the vet hospital last week with deteriorating kidney values. Turns out the culprit was bladder stones that caused a blockage in his urethra. He has spent the week on a catheter and getting fluids and his kidneys values have mostly recovered and he is a candidate for the surgery to remove the bladder stones.

The vet hospital is almost $2000 a day for the therapeutic care that had allowed his kidneys to recover and make him able to have the surgery to remove the bladder stones. Our current care estimate from MedVet is for $9900, without accounting for the surgery. The surgery will be approximately another $5000. We are devastated that his health outcomes might be limited by our financial situation. It's been a rough year for us as for many, including managing one of us being unemployed due to a layoff in 2025. We've mostly managed to keep it together but just. If you can help the friendliest dog ever -- his goal has always been to meet ALL the People -- Tyson and his people would be eternally grateful.

Vet estimates, bills, etc. available (hs MedVet Internal Medicine vets are Dr. Kett and Dr. Matarazzo).
