My Dog's Cancer

**I'm so sorry this is so long, but I really appreciate if you take your time to read his whole story, thank you.**

Recently my dog Zooluu was diagnosed with an inoperable, cancerous tumor in his nose. This has hit me like a bus as it was this time 9 years ago I found my baby abandoned by whoever had him as a puppy, and he and I have been inseparable ever since.  It was also at this time two years ago I was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in my appendix. Luckily two surgeries later, I am cancer free and healthy. I thought my cancer journey ended there, but unfortunately I was really wrong. It has now come back to haunt me and take away my best friend... 

This heartbreaking news was found out a few weeks ago when we had taken my dog to the animal hospital for a CT scan. We'd had numerous blood tests done to try and explain why he was having a blood and snot leakage from his nose the last 9 months. We finally budged and decided to do the scan and paid over $6000. We were told the tumor in his nose is inoperable and the only option is radiation. Not only is radiation going to physically traumatic for my baby, but it's extremely expensive ranging 10 to 15 thousand dollars. We can't afford to and even if I could, I decided that I cannot put him through that traumatic experience to only be able to have him by my side for another 12 to 18 months.  

I am writing today to ask for help. The 6k CT scan has put a really big weigh on our family. Not only that, but Zooluu is scheduled to have his nose flushed on Thursday, May 28th, to try and make it easier for him to breathe over the next few months. He is inevitably going to pass soon, however he struggles to breathe on a daily basis and doing this procedure is hopefully going to help make it a bit easier for him during these next couple of months. This procedure is going to cost about $700, which I am having to pull from my own savings account as my mom is going through a tough time financially and cannot afford to help me. I put the goal as 3k to hopefully help pay for his nose flush as well as maybe help pay my mom back some of the money she lent me for the CT scan. 

I understand the time we are going through currently is hard on everybody, so even if you can't donate, a simple share or retweet is so appreciated. I never wanted to make this campaign as asking people for money is really weird for me, but I've come to the conclusion that it can't hurt to ask. It's really hard to watch my best friend get worse and worse. He's at the point where I can no longer take him on walks as he begins to breathe too hard and struggles. 

Thank you again for taking the time to read my baby's story. Life is hard sometimes and there are some things that are completely out of your control. This is unfortunately one of them. I'm trying to be strong in this whole process as this amazing dog definitely knows when I'm sad and crying, so all I can do is be strong for him. I hope you have a blessed day and that you stay safe during these times of such uncertainty.
