Please help us Save Mr.Tuffin

Anyone that knows me well knows how much all my animals mean to me, I will do anything for them. Knowing this you also know that my sugar son, Mr.Tuffin, and I share a special connection and type of love that has extended for many lifetimes beyond this one ❤. I am aware that he is an older man but have always felt he has more time with us at least 3-5 years more time, time to meet my first human baby, and that when it's his time I will know and be ready. This is not that time. I am not ready to loose him, not at all. This his week for our family has been incredibly difficult. For those I have spoken to about it you know that everything started off on Wednesday there was a horrible accident involving one of our parrots. She was treated by the University of Florida small animal hospital and she is making a full recovery and doing well despite being blind in one eye. We are relieved she is doing well but that incident did make a bit a of a dent in our "saving for the future" fund. Then on Monday morning Tuffin started to show signs he wasn't well. He was not getting up to use the restroom, lethargic, and wouldn't eat or take his beloved treats. Monday night he was struggling to breathe. Early Tuesday morning he went to his regular vet where they ran a bunch of tests; blood tests, x-rays, etc. They gave him fluids and did everything they could to figure out what was wrong with him. We were told at the end of that day that he had hypothyroidism, an enlarged liver, and a mass growing in his chest that couldn't be operated on by them but perhaps a specialist could and they put him on a bunch of medications. We were charged a pretty penny for these tests and medications. We decided that with the risks of him not making it through the surgery at his age and with his preexisting heart conditions that we would take him home and make him comfortable and give him the medications they prescribed. He was not comfortable. He was in severe pain, not eating anything, vomiting up every sip of water, vomiting up his medicine, just laying there seeming as if he was dying . I was not handling this well at all every second spent away from him when I had to work was a bigger hole being ripped inside me. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon he started vomiting up a dark brown blood-like liquid and his papa Aaron rushed him back to the vet. They put him on an IV and when I got there they told us a completely new diagnosis. The second vet saw no lump in his chest and speculated his symptoms were possibly caused by Addison's disease which is treatable. She thought his lymphnodes were pushing on his wind pipe not a mass and gave him steroids and recommended we take him straight to a 24 hour emergency vet for overnight care and more specialty testing. With that glimmer of hope of a treatment we did exactly that and he was kept overnight on oxygen. Bare with me now because the news is getting better! This morning we got a call from the vet specialist at the emergency vet saying he performed an ultrasound and they found that he has pancratitis. Pancratitis is treatable and there's a great chance he will be ok and he will live with proper and immediate treatment.

There are different stages of pancratitis and because we spent so much money and time figuring out the diagnosis his pancratitis has become very severe . It is nocrotizing pancratitis which means he has acidic pockets around his pancreas eating it away. He has been in excruciating pain for the past week and not been receiving proper pain medications or treatment due to being misdiagnosed by two different veteranians. He is currently in good hands and being treated with heavy pain medication, heavy antibiotics, he's on oxygen, anti-nausia medications, and IV fluids. He is in critical care and needs to remains in critical care for the next 2 or more days. I did not put a goal to reach on this go fund me because I have no idea how much all this treatment will cost in the end. Unfortunately what I do know is how much we've already spent to come to this diagnosis. Between the 48 hour intensive care of our sweet now partially blind parrot and her medications and Tuffin's tests, hospitalizations and emergency visits this past week, we have made a major but completely necessary to me, dent into our saving for our future fund. Some people may think it's crazy to spend this kind of money on a dog but he's not just a dog to me he's my world. Aaron, my fiance, who has been so supportive to both Tuffin and I throughout this agrees that we should and will do everything we possibly can for Tuffin if his condition is treatable. Everything we can do involves asking you guys my friend's and family. Wither Tuffin has brought you a smile, been a part of your life, or even if you just know Aaron and I and how much we love him. With the proper treatment Tuffin they told me he might recover. I still don't feel entirely comfortable asking for help in this way, but I don't know what else to do. Anything helps even one dollar. I love him so much my heart is breaking please help us get our special little boy better. You you can't afford to donate please send healing energy and love. That helps him too I believe that very much. Do a spell, say a prayer anything that your beliefs entail or just one brief little thought or intention. This all helps my sweet little man.
