Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to ask for your support and well wishes for my 10-year-old dog Abby, who was my ex-husband's service dog until she retired 3 years ago.

Abby has been experiencing unilateral nosebleeds for the last two weeks.

The first nosebleed happened 2 weeks ago, then 6 days later, then 3 days after that. It is all happening way too fast, and it's not looking good. After taking her to the emergency vet and undergoing a CT, it was discovered that she has a small mass in her right nostril. They found another two masses, but they are not causing any problems just yet.

It's cancer, and we don't know which type yet, so we don't have any treatment options at this time. Biopsies have been sent, and we're waiting for the results which will take 10-14 days.

Abby has always been a healthy pup, and my ex-husband had her on a wellness plan with Banfield, which he thought was her health insurance. Unfortunately, we found out that it wasn't, and now he's paying for everything out of pocket.

He took her to the emergency vet when they weren't able to stop her bleed, and the first bill was $1460. The following night he had to take her to a specialty vet and that bill was a little short of $4K. It included a CT scan that showed locations of masses and a rhinoscopy that showed cancer. The bills are adding up fast, and the radiation treatment that was proposed is around $1500. If it's treatable, she will need three of those.

Jenia and his partner Yana are taking time off work to ensure Abby always has a human besides her, but their money is tight.

We talked about end-of-life decisions, and we're on the same page. Abby is not suffering, according to her doctor. We are not sure what kind of options we can have for her cancer treatment yet and were told to make memories while waiting for pathology results.

If you can, please donate to help us cover the expenses for Abby's treatment, or share this post to help spread the word. Any amount, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.

Attached are pictures of Abby after her CT and rhinoscopy.

Thank you so much for your support, and please hug your puppies tight tonight. Cancer sucks!
