Hi everyone who reads this, Let me just start by saying that I didn't know where else to turn. I'm taking a complete shot in the dark at this. I'm asking my friends, family in my community to help. The pictures you see above are of our dog Dane. He only just turned a year old. And he is already a valued member of our family. I bought Dane a year ago to help my son deal with his dad leaving us a while back. My son was having a difficult time adjusting to it. So I got Dane to try and help him through that difficult time. In this year that we've had him, he has melted her hurts so much. And this morning if you were given some horrible news. You see, Dane is a chewer. He's a complete Chew monster. I can't even tell you how many pairs of shoes we have lost because he's chewed them. At least 15-20 pairs. Unfortunately last night Dane got a hold of a simple tupperware container. A plastic one he chewed. A piece is stuck in Dane's intestinal tract somewhere. He has been lethargic all day, not eating or drinking, or using the bathroom. He barely lifts his head. His eyes are red and bloodshot, he's breathing very heavily and his heart rate is very elevated almost triple the times it should be beating. He's in a lot of pain and he's hardly walking. I was abe able to take him to the London emergency vet clinic tonight and we are just getting home. It is 4:30 in the morning. We were not able to find where the piece of plastic is stuck, because I could not afford the x-rays. All I could afford was $450 to make Dane comfortable with a Pain medicine shot. We were also given the news that Dane has 24 to 48 hours to live if we cannot find where this plastic piece is stuck. The x-rays alone were over a thousand dollars, and if he needs surgery, it will be much more... So I am begging you, pleading to everyone who reads this.. we can't imagine our lives without this boy.. he's been a rock for my son, a companion for me.. and as infuriating as he makes me eating all my shoes.. we need him in our lives.. and I feel like a complete failure that I haven't been able to help him... And asking you everyone, to please help us.. if I can make just enough money to get him in to figure out where this piece of plastic is, we could save our boy. He's been a pain in our ass at times, but he's exactly what we needed in our lives. And it is heartbreaking to think that we can lose him so quickly.. any amount will help us. Sharing this post will help us. I'm reaching out from the very bottom of my heart.. please help us save Dane's life. Thanks to many of you generous people out there, you have helped me make enough to get Dane's x-rays which we are here at the vets at the moment as I speak to get those done. So thank you so so much. I couldn't have done this without any of you. If Dane needs surgery that is an extra cost I've be reaching out again for. As of right now I have reached my goal to get the x-rays done and we are here to do so in London. You have no idea how much your generosity has meant the world to me and my son and Dane. Thank you so much. You are all beautiful people!
