Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. My Frenchie, Waffles, is going through testing and diagnostics for a malignant tumor in his jaw. What started as just "bad breath" turned out to be something far more serious, and now he needs urgent treatment to give him the best possible chance.

Waffles is more than just a pet — he’s my best friend, my shadow, and my source of daily joy for 13 years. He’s the goofy, snorty pig dog that greets me in the morning, the one who makes everyone smile wherever he goes. Seeing him in pain and facing something like this has been heartbreaking.

The vet bills for diagnostics, surgery, and follow-up care are expected to reach around $11,000, which is more than I can manage alone. I’m doing everything I can to cover his costs, but I’m reaching out for help so that Waffles can get the care he deserves.

The estimated expenses for the Biopsy/CT scan/extractions include:

Anesthesia: $1700

Diagnostic imaging (X-rays/CT): $360

Biopsy and lab analysis: $400

Specialist consultation/supplies: $500

Follow-up care and medications: $175

Moving forward with the diagnosis, he will need a Rostral Mandibulectomy. The cost for this ranges from $4749-$7116.

If you can contribute — even just a few dollars — it would make a huge difference. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this page means the world. Every bit of support helps give Waffles a fighting chance.

Thank you so much for reading and for caring about my Bubba.
