Hi, my name is Savvy, and this is my emotional support dog, Yoshi. I've had him for almost 2 years since a friend could no longer care for him. He was the light I needed in a dark time after my other dog suddenly got really sick and passed away from liver and kidney failure because of neighbors putting out poison to get rid of the neighborhood cats. Instead, it unalived my best pal.

Yoshi has been my rock ever since that happened. I took him to the vet on 08/11 and spent $800, which was my bill money, but my dog is more important than that right now. He became really sluggish, doesn't want to play, and was having a hard time holding his urine. When he did go pee, at the end of the stream, he was bleeding while he urinated. And not a little bit of blood, like a full stream of straight blood. I knew something was very wrong. I took him to the vet, they did an ultrasound on him, and he had a stone in his bladder that is taking up 50% if not more of the space in his bladder. As a bully breed, they hide their pain very well, but he's suffering every day. The surgery is $4,800 to get the stone removed, with anesthesia, etc., included. This surgery needs to be done ASAP according to my vet because if a piece of the stone breaks off and moves down towards his urethra, it can cause a dangerous blockage that will cost us another $3,000 to remove. I can't post videos here, but I will post the blood coming from his privates when he pees at his next walk. I'm still recovering financially from my last pet that I spent $8,000 on, and he still passed away. I spent all my savings on my pet, and he passed away. I can't fathom losing another family member. This stone in his bladder has also given him a UTI, which is painful in itself. I was able to afford the medication for only 2 weeks to help the UTI and hopefully give him a little bit of relief. But there's no pain meds or holistic medicine or at-home things I can do to remove this stone that is embedded in his bladder. I'm begging with tears in my eyes for help for my precious boy. He deserves to live comfortably, and it hurts me daily to see the blood running through his urine. If you could please share this GoFundMe, donate what you can. It would be so kindly appreciated. Yoshi doesn't deserve this pain; he is the goodest of boys and the light in my eyes after losing a pet to neighbor negligence. If you could find it in your heart to please donate, whether it's $1 or $100. Everything is appreciated! And we will keep you updated along the journey if we are able to get him this surgery he needs as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the more the stone will affect him. So I am begging for your assistance in getting my dog back to the vibrant, healthy boy he is. Right now, he's in so much pain he just wants to lay down at all times and has lost his doggy ways. No zoomies, no running or playing. He just lays down next to me with the eyes of an angel, but I see the suffering in his eyes.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you donate, thank you so much. If you repost this, thank you so much. I am highly appreciative of any type of help.

THANK YOU!
