Radar the PTSD Service Dogs Emergency Care Fund for Tucker

(PLEASE LOOK FOR UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM)

Hello, my name is Tucker and I’m a Marine Corps Veteran. My service dog, Radar, is my absolute world and has saved my life on numerous occasions and helps me function day to day. Recently, he has become extremely ill (suspected intestinal blockage) and I’ve incurred unexpected expenses from emergency vet visits. This dog is everything to me and has been with me from my transition from military to civilian life, addiction issues from trying to cope with my PTSD by myself (I’m now 2.5 years clean and sober), mental health struggles, therapy, and so much more. Now, after many years of difficulties, I am finally thriving largely in part to the love this dog shows me on a daily basis and his commitment to his job he has taught me to love myself and therefore others and showed me I’m worthy of loving a happy life in spite of my past. I work a full-time job and receive some partial rental assistance from the VA, but with my bills coming up, I am stretched extremely thin. Please help me save my best friend, every single dollar helps. Willing to provide whatever proof necessary. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE 1: Confirmed intestinal blockage. Vet gave Radar subcutaneous fluids in a hope rehydrating his gut will help move the object along. Will be returning to the vet for another set of X-rays and fluids today 4/30/25. The prayer is the blockage has moved some and by some miracle he will pass it himself and avoid surgery however even without surgery expenses are looking to total above 2k.

Day 1 vet bill (Day two which is today will be similar in amount and I will be uploading that later when it’s received)
