Please Help Apollo and Brody

**currently raised £1,600 which has covered his treatment for the next 24 to 36 hours*
Hello,

Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate having to do this.

My 12 weeks old Rottweiler puppy, Apollo, is currently undergoing treatment that will hopefully save his life.

He has been in and out of the vets all week, and we have just been told he is dying from Parvovirus.

Parvovirus is one of the deadliest parasites a dog can get.

Apollo was taken to the emergency vets last Sunday following sickness and diarrhoea, was allowed home a day later after being treated for Gardia. We have now been informed it was too early in stages for the parvovirus to be detected on their basic test. On Saturday night Apollo took a very bad turn, whilst still on the medication he was sent home with.

In line with the vets advice he was brought in on Sunday but sent home with more antibiotics, we were told the first lot wasn’t strong enough. It was pushed for, for him to have more tests and stay in if necessary, we were told this wasn’t needed and would only cost us more.

Less than 24 hours later my puppy is back in the vets fighting for his life after a devastating diagnosis of Parvovirus. We have been told he was initially treated for this and it was stopped, and yesterday the vet did not retest his levels - even though it was in his notes. Had we have known we would not have taken him home and demanded further tests, despite their advise. We are in a dispute with the vets due to their malpractice. But we are still paying out for treatment in hope he can come home one day.

Brody, not only missing his brother a lot, has also come down ill. We are waiting on results from a different vet.

Unfortunately the insurance will not pay out for Apollo, but we hope they will cover Brody’s treatment.

We have already paid in excess of £4,000 for Apollos treatment with a lot more bills coming through and waiting for Brodys to start.

This has already been an extreme struggle to pay, we have borrowed from friends and family, so it has been a last resort to ask the public for donations towards my boys future treatment and help us repay our loans for the previous.

I appreciate Christmas is the hardest financial time for everyone, any donation whether it is monetary or well wishes will be greatly appreciated.

If anyone can recommend an independent vet or legal team to help - we would also be grateful.

I know lots of people will have different opinions on this situation, but at this time we cannot hear anything negative, my family and I are heartbroken. I am doing everything I can to save my dog’s lives, this being one of the last resorts.

All medication was administered exactly as advised and I called every vet for different opinions as soon as a new symptom showed. We are praying Apollo pulls through against all odds and Brody is strong enough to keep fighting, and this vet is much better than the last.
