Hello, my name is Preston Marshall. I am in need of help with my dog Shion( tree bird.) she is 3 years old in January and her favorite thing to do is sit in front of the AC. She's always been very happy and friendly and One of my very best friends.

She's been suffering for a year now and we can't figure out what's wrong with her. Her weight goes up and down, and for the last year, it's been down more than up. She has constant diarrhea and has to drink so much water that she's peeing constantly. She's lost almost 20 lbs from her top weight of 75 lbs. She's already undersized for her breed; she should be 100 lbs, but her max is 75. We need to perform the surgery to diagnose her condition better so I can address these issues and help her get better. The cost is excessive for this test. I just don't want my dog to die.

This test is the only thing I have left to try and figure out what's wrong with her. The test is called a full thickness biopsy.

She has been on a protocol for EPI for a year and is worsening. We have done blood tests, stool samples and endoscopies.

We need the full thickness biopsy to determine if this is cancer or another disease that is causing the EPI.

We have tried enzymes, special food, multiple supplements and nothing helps.

I've added the cost of her procedure as a picture. There's two options, I would like to choose the second. It is roughly $2,300 and it comes with better pain management and a 72 hour anesthetic. Because she's having a full thickness biopsy I feel like this is the best way to help her.

Regardless of how much The total is from this fundraiser I will be going forward with that and covering the cost with what I have left.

I've spent thousands of dollars on various procedures and I just can't afford this by myself any longer.
