Support Moose's Endoscopy Journey

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Moose (aka Bonk, Pooky, Drop It, & Hey Bring That Back!)
I love chewing on sticks, long walks, stealing cardboard and paper from the recycle bin. My favorite snacks are frozen blueberries & green beans. But, I'll eat anything if you let me.
It's almost my birthday and I will be 2 years old! In my short life, I've had a lot of tummy troubles. You might think it's from all the stuff I try to eat (my mom will usually shove her hand in my mouth and pull it out - even goose poop and dead birds!) But the doctor says it's something else that I don't understand. I just know I love to eat and I need the humans to fix me so I can eat all the stuff again!

Moose is our almost 2-year-old black lab. For more than a year, we've battled with intermittent vomiting that lasts between a day and a week. We've tried eliminating poultry, bought special food, Pepcid, adding water to his kibble, and even feeding him in half-cup increments 8 times a day! We brought him in to the vet (again) today (3/11/25) & a few hundred dollars later - we still have 0 answers. The vet (Dr. Carrie at South Shore Animal Hospital) is confident it's something related to his upper GI system. Dr. Carrie strongly recommends an endoscopy so we can pinpoint the issue. With the endoscopy, he'd have to have anesthesia and they would do a few biopsies. The total estimate (which obviously could change) is between $1208 and $1288. We are asking for help with this large cost because we don't like seeing him suffer. Since Moose started having these troubles (a little longer than a year) we've spent at least $3,000 to help him & unfortunately, we are maxed out. I've attached a copy of the estimate so you can see what we're asking for. If you're unable to donate to Moose, please send him some positive vibes and well wishes. If you haven't yet met Moose and would like to, let us know!
