UPDATE JUNE 5, 2025:

I just got good news about Willow. We're not losing her right away, and it's not going to cost as much as I thought for the procedure! IF high dose steroids over the next few days can shrink the tumor, they can operate for much less than anticipated.

Williw's long term prognosis isn't great, however. This is a malignant mast cell tumor that will likely spread, or may have already done so. But she's only 8, and I need her.

If anyone would prefer to donate directly to her vet, you may do so at

Ebensburg Animal Hospital

ORIGINAL STORY:

My ESA, Willow, has a rapidly growing mast cell tumor on her leg that needs urgent surgery.

Willow is an 8-year-old pitbull. She was the litter runt, and we got her as a tiny puppy. She is my beloved support animal, very tuned in to my emotions. Without her cuddles and hugs, I'm not sure where I'd be. When my disabilities flare, she stays right by my side to calm me down and ease my pain.

I am a disabled pet owner on a fixed SSD income and don't know how I will pay for her surgery and aftercare. Any and all donations will go directly to support my support dog.

I have a surgery consult on June 3 with Ebensburg Animal Hospital. I'll update the goal amount once I have a solid estimate. I will also update with the clinics phone number, for anyone wishing to donate directly to the clinic, once I've set up and account with them.

Thanks in advance.
