Saving Mighty Titan
I don’t even know where to begin... This is Titan and he is a giant mamas boy! Through and through. And though his appearance is a little unnerving for some, it doesn’t take long to see how loving and sweet he actually is! Or how undoubtedly dedicated he is to me and my family ❤️Anyone who knows me knows that I baby my children and my dogs! That I will go to the ends of the earth to protect and provide for what is mine. I spare no expense when it comes to their care and have always provided them with unending love. But, Tragedy has struck yet again! (He lost his eye in September 3000.00 later I have Titan the pirate ☠️) Friday started unlike any other....What we believed to be an obstruction in his stomach turned out not to be the case ! So after a 48 hour stay, countless tests, and X-rays, they opened my boy up to try and find the problem... only to find nothing . I was called to come and get him and that he would need to remain in vet care! But not at the emergency vet. I arrived at the emergency vet at 7:15 am As I picked him up I happily payed the 4100.00 but left with a dog with blood pouring from his rectum and drooling heavily as his nausea was uncontrollable! I transported Titan 1.5 miles. As I arrived at the new vets office everything went south! The green that you see in the pictures below is vomit!. This all began with a refusal to eat his breakfast Friday morning, seeming to be okay, but laying around indoors with me the entire day so I could monitor him and by Saturday morning my world was upside down! I have fought with myself and cried until I have thrown up. I haven’t slept 2 hours since Saturday! Idk what else to do! The vets think they can possibly save him but still don’t know what is actually wrong! Possibly may have been poisoned, but his white blood cell count is basically non existent! He may need a transfusion!
I have never asked anyone for anything that I haven’t fully repaid, I have donated time and money to so many others, even when I didn’t really have it to give. I have rescued, I have rallied behind my friends and people in my community. As hard as this is for me, I need help!
I know that he is just a dog. But he isn’t really! He is my boy! my dearly loved and cherished boy, who happily greets me with a gift in his mouth every time I arrive home! The protector of my children and home. And today when they asked me at what dollar value was I going to stop treatment and put him down I lost it.. I couldn’t do that! I couldn’t look at him with his 1 big beautiful eye, nub wagging so hard as he searched my face for understanding. I watched him lean hard into me trying to comfort me as my hands were trembling so hard I couldn’t control it. While I sobbed and cried hysterically, and looked up to find a sweet vet tech with huge tears streaming down his face.. I couldn’t tell them to put my boy down! His organs are all functioning well, but it is a guessing game! He needs to see a specialist! And I honestly scraping the bottom at this point! My oldest son just broke his leg in a freak accident 5 days prior to my wedding on May 29th needing rods placed in his leg. He is still on the mend with physical therapy in his near future. Medical bills are still flooding In and I’m just completely lost at the moment on what to do now! I know it’s a large amount! And I honestly believed I had Titan covered! I have a care credit card. And I’m at my limit. I never hesitated to spend the money to help him. But he still needs help! And he is looking at needing a lot! But he is a young dog! He just turned two the other day! And I can’t just put him down when their is hope and I’m just out of money! If your are uncomfortable with making donations here, you can make them directly to the vet ! WEST ROME ANIMAL CLINIC IN GEORGIA! Anything will help! You just have to tell them it’s for Titan Russell.
