Scraggy Aggys operation

Hi As some of you are aware Agatha known to all as Aggy, or Scraggy, or Scraggles the scragsta or various other terms of endearment was dumped in our back garden many years ago with another dog. And we went from 0-10 dogs in 24 hours as while waiting for the dog warden/RSPCA etc we had them over night and the other dog a lurcher gave birth to 8 puppies that night.

The RSPCA didn't want to move the mother dog as she was already traumatised and asked if I was OK to be a dog fosterer whilst they sorted things out over the next couple weeks. Sooo it began

That first night I was swapping puppies on mums teets as she was only producing milk from 2 and I had no supplies, after the first couple of days we got some puppy milk etc and hand fed them. Mum dog we called her Kim got her energy back and puppies were thriving RSPCA didn't want to intervene and little Aggy was just pottering around doing her thing teaching the puppies how to go out the cat flap and go to the toilet it was like she had been in our house all along and being the best aunty... roll on 8 weeks mum dog started getting aggressive to pups so she was retired to a lurcher rescue centre and all pups got rehimed within a couple of weeks however we had fallen in love with Aggy. So we kept her. Aggy is the most loving chilled dosey dog thinks she's a cat you will ever meet. She has helped people overcome fears of dogs and they love her. She became part of the family as if she was always there. She comes on holidays and days out etc and loved by all.

Fast forward to the situation we are in...

Agatha has mammary lumps possibly cancerous we don't know until biopsy is done to which the insurers have said they are not covering (you take out insurance for medical issues for a reason you know as a responsible dog owner!) We paid £350 this morning for just a consultation at the specialists and a print out of what's required and the cost which is not much change from £8000...

I don't know anyone who has a spare grand laying around these days never mind 8 grand so we are asking for help from all over. I certainly do not have that set aside as I never thought I would need to as I pay insurance for this reason. But because we can't prove it's not a pre existing condition before the insurance they are kicking up a stink about it. But in the mean time the specialist has said timing is crucial and ideally she needs to be operated on yesterday to remove the mass as one is particularly large. It went un noticed due to her very long scraggy hair hence her name and was seen when she got a hair cut.

So I'm doing this as I see them successful all the time and hoping it can be for Aggy and I have no limitations of dignity or pride when it comes to my family and Agatha is family...

So please if you can spare anything to help we would be most grateful. I've uploaded a photo of the specialist estimate for the surgery etc she needs so you know I'm not trying to scam as I'm aware there are scammers out there.

Thank you

So much

I've just tried to add the additional photo of the bill but I can't seem to see how or where to put another as the one that's in is of Aggy on her way back from the vet specialist

But if you want to see it or need to im happy to share the photo with you
