Today has been a rough end to a rough week. Our beautiful girl Roo, now 8 years old, was having issues with eating food and unable to keep it down, along with water. If you know Roo you will know she has had a hard life until she came to us from Taiwan and she has been the sweetest, most loving dog.

We hate having to ask for help as we have always tried to take care of problems ourselves but this one is so urgent and we are desperate.

The Story -

We took her to Green Dog Dental vets which we have been with before, who gave us terrible service, advice and basically did nothing apart from take some blood, give some anti nausea pills and charge us astronomical rates. Upon paying for all this, we were then told the blood results would come back in 7-10 days... which was madness! She was wasting away and could die by then. But, if we paid more they would be faster...! Believe me, a Green Dog scathing review is coming!!!

So we gave her the pills and she finally ate a small amount of food, only the next day to not eat again. So we then decided to take her to another vet and straight away they knew something was wrong. They gave her more tablets and hoped that she would improve, she did not. That night her breathing became fast paced and she would still not eat, she looked starved. Then today we took her back to the vets after getting no where with Green Dog and the original blood work, so we paid for faster blood work at the new vets, Southpaw Vets (Fantastic btw) and straight away they said she was in trouble, her kidneys were not working properly and her breathing was a concern. She needed to go to the hospital for 24hr care and aggressive treatment straight away.

Now due to our move back from UK to US last year we maxed out our credit cards, so we had no idea what to do. She was going to just have to come back to ours and probably pass away in the night.

Luckily Tiff applied for a credit card through CareCredit and was accepted immediately. Thank every God for that!!!

We were able to take her to the hospital where she currently is, but the card has now been maxed out for the next 48 hours of care, we desperately need help. Her prognosis is not great but we don't want to give up on her, she still has a fighting chance.

She is currently in an oxygen cage to help her breath, on IVs and antibiotics. If she shows signs of improvement they would want to keep her in for a few extra days to continue treatment, but we just can not afford that. We have run out of funds everywhere. If you can please help, even the smallest amount will go a long way, we would be forever grateful. We don't want to lose our little girl.

Thanks for reading and thank you for any donations, words can not describe our gratitude and love.

Pete, Tiff, Hardy & Roo xxx
