Pig’s in a Pickle

Midnight on Thursday Sooty had a seizure and was rushed to emergency in a lifeless state. This sudden and terrifying moment has been the beginning of what is now a serious situation for our beloved ‘Pig’.
Currently Sooty is with our trusted family vet undergoing investigation and treatment. So far what we know from her bloodwork is that she has life threatening diabetes and severe anemia. All of which is a far cry from recent blood work in December which was normal.

For the past 24 hours she has been treated with IV fluids for the hypoglycemia and has shown some improvement however the anemia is unchanged and more diagnostics are needed. It’s is suspected that she may have tumors running amok. Today they checked for internal bleeding but this was clear. On Monday or Tuesday Sooty will have an ultrasound to look further. From there, should she make it through the coming days, we face a lot of unknowns.

On her side is a strong heart in good working order, good oxygen levels, an inextinguishable spirit, love for life, her hooman friends, and all things squeaky. I’ve been told she ate her food, didn't have any toilet issues and made it very clear this morning she would like to go home thank you very much thankyou hooman sir. But, she’s ‘not out of the woods yet’.

Sooty is the kindest little spirit I’ve known, full of beans since the day I met her 12 years ago. Her super powers in hooman-gazing spare no one of her intense curiosity and love.
As a fur parent I’ve always promised to do right by her: to keep life interesting, full of great adventures, tasty snacks, cuddles, kisses and razzel dazzles in green places far and wide. I promised to keep her healthy, happy and safe, to teach and show her new things, to show her the love and kindness all animals deserve.

While the odds may be stacked against her, I know the world's greatest Adventure Pig still has still some miles in her yet. In her heart, I know she is far from done. I hope to get another chance to show her all the great things a smol old pup can do and see.

So, I’m calling on my friends and family to give what they can to help Pig battle this out. Below is anticipated costs but I am yet to know the full scope.

Medical Costs & Transparency

I will be transparent about the costs once I know more. Currently I have been advised to expect up to 4.5K. This may grow if further medical treatment or surgeries are required.

I am yet to get any paperwork on this and will post a pics when I do. In the event I have over estimated the costs, any raised money not required will go to other doggos in need.

I thank you for your love and support for Pig.

I will post with updates when I know and can.
