Who this will help
Hi, my name is Rachel, and my husband Jordan and I have 2 Dalmatians named Luke and Jewel. We are trying to raise funds as Jewel is suddenly very sick and is at Pieper Emergency Vet being evaluated.

Why I'm fundraising
Jewel started selectively skipping her meals about 2 weeks ago, but otherwise acted like her normal energetic self. We thought she was just being picky so we tried to switch her food a few times - she would eat the first day then would stop. On Wednesday we brought her to her normal vet to get checked out because she was not quite acting like herself and not eating, drinking a lot, having diarrhea. At the vets they weighed her and she has lost 5 pounds since her last visit - only 33 pounds. They noticed she had jaundice and a fever and tested her for tick borne diseases (neg) and ran a CBC. They have her Pepcid and a probiotic to begin taking. We heard back on Friday that she had elevated liver enzymes, specifically ALT. They said it could be something she ingested, or what we suspect, Copper Storage Disease. Our vet did not seem concerned and was going to check her levels again in 2 months! If it is CSD it needs to be treated sooner than later. Meanwhile, she has gotten worse the past couple days. She will eat chicken and rice, but throws it up, is constantly drinking water, very tired, diarrhea, and today has been crying and shaking, swaying. Our vet did not have an answer other than to follow up in 3 weeks. Something is definitely not right. We are taking her to the emergency vet right now. We are worried out of our minds and will update as soon as we can.

The impact of your support
We are unsure what tests will be run but we are hoping to find answers and to help poor Jewel. They have an internist there who can hopefully help.
