Izzy the Staffy needs your help!

Donation protected
Hi my name’s Maddie and I'm asking for your help for my 4yr old red staffy, Izzy!

I took Izzy to the vet on Monday morning as over the weekend she really wasn’t herself, very lethargic and off her food. The vet wanted to get her on a fluid drip and sedate her to X Ray her but before they could, she went downhill very quickly. They could feel something in her intestine and she wasn’t able to breathe by herself.

The vet called me to say it’s very serious and gave me the option of having her put to sleep or opening her up and see what’s going on but there was a high chance she wouldn’t survive that. I wasn’t prepared to give up on her so I gave them the go ahead to operate.

Firstly let me tell you Izzy is doing ok, they found large pieces of what we think is bamboo sticks in her intestine, she’s had 20cm or bowel and intestine removed. She spent the night in special care and is now responsive. I’ve been told she’s not in the clear yet and the next 10 days aren’t going to be easy. This surgery comes with a high risk of infection.

So far the vet bill is £4300 but I can't give up on my otherwise healthy, 4 year old pet!!! Despite having insurance, unfortunately the insurance company are not going to be paying out. I have some savings but nowhere near this amount.

I've set this up in desperation as a way of reaching out and asking for help towards getting Izzy better again!

Thank you so so much for taking the time to read this. I understand times are tough, if you can't help with a donation I’ll be so grateful. If you could please share incase someone else can, thank you so much.

Maddie xx
