Hello Everyone!

Nova is my 5 month old lab puppy.

On the night of 4/15/2022, Nova began vomiting and acting very strange, as she is normally a very happy, healthy, energetic puppy.

On the morning of 4/16/2022, she was refusing to eat, drink, or play.

I took her to the vet.

They ran blood tests and took X-rays, and they have informed me that she has a bowel obstruction in her small intestine that is causing her symptoms.

She can not digest this foreign object, and if it were to be left alone, she would continue to not eat and drink, and eventually, she would not make it out alive.

The next step is to give her an emergency surgery to remove this foreign object from her intestine, however, the medical costs have gotten too high for me to pay for it alone.

This is why I am asking you all for help.

As a teenager, I suffered through extreme depression and anxiety, and until now, Nova has given me something to hope for and come home to every day.

When I am having a hard day, I always know that when I come home I have my baby waiting for me with her tail wagging and small barks to let me know she's happy that her mom's home.

If I do not pay for this surgery, I will have to resort to having her put down.

I have never loved any creature as much as her, and although in my eyes she is worth every penny they ask for, I can not afford it.

I want to give her a chance, so this is my attempt at not having to go through with one of the hardest decisions of my life.

Anything will help.

Thank you
