Help with costs of surgery for my dog Dutchess
Donation protected
Whether you’re a close friend, relative, or someone who has followed me and my journeys over the years; you know how much I adore my dog Dutchess. I’ve been trying everything, from cbd to what the vet says to use, to more homeopathic options. But, Dutch’s ligaments have worn, and she’s torn both her stifles in her hind legs as well as bilateral ACLs. She can’t walk but for a second with me helping her outside to pee and eat, but is still in good spirits. If you know her, you know how special she is. She is not yelping in pain like she was yesterday at the emergency vet, so pain meds are definitely helping but not a solution. She needs surgery, and at 2-3k (vet says could be more) a leg plus your pre surgery and post surgery visits, I’ll be sitting just under 10k. I’ve never used my platform for anything really good other than superficial benefits. This is different. I’m swallowing my pride wholly and asking for help from friends, family, followers. It sickens me to have to ask for help but I don’t know what else to do. I’ve had a lot of loss this year in more ways than one...help me if you can and forgive me for asking. If it wasn’t for Dutchess I’m not sure I’d be alive, she saved my life and if it wasn’t for her attacking my attacker, I’m really not sure if I’d be here. She is not just a dog. Do not pity me, I have to save her. Somehow someway.
