Help save my best friends life, Kobe.

Hi everyone,
I'm devastated to share that my small and loving dog, Kobe, has recently been diagnosed with AIHA ( autoimmune hemolytic anemia).
Kobe has always been a cherished member of our family, bringing so much happiness into our lives. We adore going on adventures together, whether it's hiking in the mountains, camping under the stars, or simply enjoying quality time at home.
However, on June 21st, everything changed. Kobe suddenly stopped eating, and just layed there with no energy. We brought him to the vet for tests and they said he needed to get to the ER right away; he was in critical condition. The medical bills have skyrocketed, and we're struggling to keep up.
Kobe requires blood transfusions - With each blood transfusion his red blood cell count is around 20-23%, and within 12 hours it drops to 18%. Anything lower than 17% is critical. He will be larthargic, have no energy and not much oxygen will get to his organs thus another transfusion is required, costing around 1650-2000$ each time.
He has had 4 blood transfusions to date and is slowly showing a positive response. However, his red blood cell count is still dropping requiring further transfusions and overnight hospital stays with 24/7 monitoring.
He is on steroids to prevent his body from killing his own red blood cells, however it takes a minimum of 7 days to start seeing any improvements.
I'm reaching out in desperation, pleading for help to save my best friend.
Kobe means the world to me and I'm determined to do whatever it takes to provide him with the care he needs. Your support would mean everything to both of us during this difficult time.
