Help Poppy’s heart

 

My 6-year old cavalier Poppy was at the emergency vet on Friday night with severe gastro. Whilst being examined the vet picked up a grade 3 heart murmur. She went and got a second opinion from 2 other vets who confirmed the same. 6 months ago I was told at my regular vet that Poppy’s heart was fine, no murmur at all, so as I’m sure you can imagine this was a huge shock to me. Friday night cost me $300,and this week or next she needs an echocardiogram to see the damage that has already been done to her mitral valve. That is $450. She will then need to go on medication for the rest of her life, however long that may be. She’s going to require regular vet check-ups as well. 
 

My other 11 year old cavalier Matilda has inoperable and untreatable bone cancer in her shoulder and ribs so it is already a huge emotional and financial toll on me with one sick dog. Matilda takes three different medications 4 times a day. I have already drastically altered my daily survival costs to make this possible. 

Poppy is a therapy dog for Story Dogs and Delta. We go into a school once a week and help kids who struggle with reading. And when covids not around we go into anursing home for people with Alzheimer’s too. She brings so much joy and happiness to the children and elderly people she meets. Poppy can only do this if she is well. 


I hate that I have to ask people for money. And I wouldn’t do it for any other reason except for my furbabies. This is one of the most shameful things I have had to do.But due to recent poor health I have been unable to work and I am financially struggling. I know everyone struggles in some way, so please don’t feel you have to donate much or anything. I’m just desperate and have no parents who can help me. 

if you got to the end, thank you so much x
love Tammy, Poppy and Matilda
