im going to preface this by saying i haven’t slept and my head is spinning so excuse my writing not being 100%.

as many of you know, my dog clover is my whole heart. he was found in my aunts backyard and magically found his way to me after i had been longing for a sweet little dachschund for so long. for 6 years clover has gotten me through some really rough times, and everyone who has met him has felt the joy he brings everywhere he goes.

i got home on wednesday february 11th to find he was very lethargic and vomiting. he hadn’t eaten and was having trouble keeping water down without vomiting it out. i monitored him closely and tried to give him water in small doses but by the end of the night he was moaning in pain and vomiting consistently. something was obviously wrong so i brought him to the hospital where they had to do x rays, blood work, drain his bladder (which was abnormally full), give him antibiotics, pain medicine, and IV since he was dehydrated. i’ve already paid just over 1000 just to get him in for urgent testing, and i still need to get more tests to find out what is causing the problem. the doctor informed me he will need ultrasound and urine tests just to figure out what is going on, which would cost me another 1800, and this doesn’t cover treatment once we find out what the issue is. i am currently not working, on leave for health issues i’m having myself. i’ve spent just about all i currently have left and still don’t know what’s going on with my little baby.

he truly makes everyone that walks by him smile with his silly personality and chill energy. now, he’s in so much pain and he can barely move. his energy is gone and i can tell he is feeling miserable. i honestly am having a hard time even trying to type this out. 1800 was the quoted estimate just for his tests, that doesn’t even cover treatment and i could really use help. he historically has had signs of an enlarged prostate before he was neutered. the vet suspects the problem could be the prostate, infection, or some type of kidney stones, but we are unsure. i haven’t slept and with all the information i’ve been receiving my head is spinning. i know times are tough for everyone, but i would be completely lost if something bad happened to him or if i lost him. i feel lost now, and i’ve hit a wall financially. anything helps, i would just really appreciate any help at all to get my sweet boy back to his happy self.
