My name is Nicole, and these (somewhat graphic) photos are of my beloved Frenchie, Gaston. He developed one small bump, which within weeks, led to these large calcified lesions all over his body. After going through several vets and treating with antibiotics, steroids, creams, etc., I finally received a solid recommendation to a pet dermatologist and pet esthetician. The dermatologist is confident that his condition may be due to Cushing’s disease, which will require further testing and lifelong care.

I've spent thousands of dollars on his care thus far, and we haven’t even received confirmation of his (potential) diagnosis yet. As a recently divorced pet mom of three, I'm struggling to afford these expenses. I've also recently lost my job, am selling my house, and having to move. Life has dealt me every bad card all at once, and I'm desperate for help. Any amount you can donate would be very greatly appreciated by me and Gaston!
