Support The Old Moat Garden Centre's Dog Shortie's vet bill

Hi, I am Shortie's mum and need help with his medical expenses. Shortie is a valued therapy dog that works at The Old Moat Garden Centre. Shortie is nearly 11 years old and started life as a companion dog for his disabled owner. He is now an essential member of staff at The Old Moat engaging with customers and volunteers with immense enthusiasm. He has suddenly become ill and has rapidly gone downhill. He is having treatment for pancreatitis and diabetes. The vet wants to send him to a specialist for urgent treatment. Any assistance will be much appreciated.
