Help Waffle the Old English Sheepdog get better ❤️

My name is Waffle and I am a 3yr old Old English sheepdog and the centre of my hooman families world....

Up until a week ago I was a fit and healthy floof living my best life with my adopted Cypriot rescue sibling Bellatrix the German Shepherd x

All of this changed in the blink of an eye, I woke up one day not feeling very well and was sick for a couple of days, my pawrents thought I had perhaps eaten something I shouldn't have done and that the sickness would pass..which it did... but then I wouldn't eat anything and they became worried that I would starve...

They took me to visit our local friendly vet who thought I had a bit of jaundice and did some blood tests and an ultrasound of my tummy... they were very concerned about the results of the blood tests and had me referred as an emergency to Cambridge University veterinary hospital.

The nice people at the hospital also did some tests and scans and found concerns with my liver area and pancreas, they could also see that something was happening with the lining of my stomach .. they suspected it could be cancer and did biopsies and various other tests....whilst giving me antibiotics and a plethora of other medication to try to make me better....

Throughout all of this time I have still refused to eat... my pawrents have tried every food they can think of both human and dog food and the hospital have also tried lots of things...

The nice vet has phoned my human today to say I am an obstinate sheepie who refuses to let them insert a nasal feeding tube or to change the catheter in my leg... both of these things are needed to help me get better.... I now have to have an anaesthetic tomorrow to insert a central line catheter and a feeding tube in my neck

Everybody says I am a fighter and I am doing everything to fight whatever it is that is making me ill so that I can go home to my family where I belong..

My daily blood tests are showing a small improvement in the figures so I am getting better slowly...

I'm currently in the icu unit and the lovely people are trying their best to look after me... they don't often see sheepies in here and they think I'm cute and floofy even with all my shaved bits, bandages and tubes... but I want to feel better and to go home...

They miss me at home so very much as I do them and it makes me miserable to be apart from them....

My hooman family spent 4k in one afternoon on Saturday for the veterinary care I had for that day... they currently have another bill for 3k waiting to be paid and this cost will continue to rise probably at an alarming rate until I beat this and I am better... they say that I am worth every penny and I am... and they are doing everything in their power to keep finding the money to pay the vets bills but it is difficult for them....

They can't stand the thought of losing me so please from the bottom of my sheepie heart if you could possibly spare even the smallest amount to help them with my medical bills it would be so appreciated....

I know how difficult people are finding things financially at the moment and I hate that I am even asking for help

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story...

Love

Waffle ❤️
