My name is Sam Smith. Yesterday my German shorthaired pointer Huckleberry, my bloodhound, Banjo, my other pointer, Dixie, and my catahoula, Daisey all got hit by a porcupine. I rushed them all to the vet and got them all fixed besides Huckleberry because the injuries he sustained were the worse and I did not have the money to cover it. Huckleberry must have had the porcupine in his mouth because he has quills in his tongue, in the roof of his mouth, and enlodged all the way down his throat. He has been hacking and gagging non-stop, the quills are getting deeper inside of his throat and tongue, and the vet said he will need surgery or he will die. I've lost a lot this year, including my son and his mother, a few friends, and my house. Through all of that there was always someone by my side, Huckleberry, he is the sweetest dog, he loves me and would do anything for me, and I love him and will do whatever it takes to get him what he needs. I tried giving up my rights to him at the vet to get him fixed and they said no. I have to get him this surgery today or he is going to die. He is holding on as long as he can but he isn't looking good and he is getting worse by the hour. Please help me save my dog, he is my best friend and I can't lose him.
