My name is Chris, and I'm reaching out on behalf of my handsome boy, Jake. He's my 9-10 year old chihuahua-beagle mix. He's my best friend, and I feel like I'm watching him die the last couple of days. He needs vet attention as soon as possible, but I'm afraid he may not make it till Monday. He's been my emotional companion and helped me through dark times, and I have to repay him by getting him some help. He's been coughing for an hour at a time and may get 2-3 minutes of sleep before another bout of coughing. I can see in his face and eyes he's struggling and not in good shape. I hope to make it till Monday and hopefully get answers and possibly get a little more time with the reason my heart beats right now.
