<div>Hey everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking a second to visit this page. I’m doing this for my cousin and her amazing dog, Winston, who is currently going through a tough health battle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Winston had a rough start in life — he’s a rescue who went through a few bad homes before finally finding his forever family. It took years of patience, trust, and love, but Winston and her built an incredible bond. They do everything together — morning coffee and a pup cup, long games of fetch, and quiet moments people-watching on a park bench.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Happened:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Winston’s groomer discovered a lump on his right back thigh. She immediately rushed him to the emergency vet, and after several tests, they received heartbreaking news — it was a mast cell tumor, a form of cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Further consultations and imaging showed that the tumor was large and had wrapped around the muscle. The best and only treatment option to save his life was a full leg amputation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This was an unbelievable shock. Just three weeks earlier, Winston had received a clean bill of health from his vet — no pain, no limping, no signs at all. Despite the devastating diagnosis, his doctors were optimistic. At only 6 years old, Winston still had great odds and a chance to live a full, happy life after surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was a hard decision, but Winston deserved that chance — and he’s been so brave through it all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Financial Impact:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, everything happened very quickly, and the financial strain has been overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s a breakdown of Winston’s care so far:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initial emergency visit: $1,500
</div>
<div>Surgical consultation, CT scan &amp; biopsies: $3,500
</div>
<div>Surgery &amp; hospital stay: $7,200
</div>
<div>Two emergency follow-up visits: $500
</div>
<div>Oncologist consultation: $275
</div>
<div>Post-surgery medications (painkillers, sedation meds, antibiotics): $— bringing the total to just over $13,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This wasn’t something she could have prepared for, and she’s done everything possible to make sure he got the care he needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Good News:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re beyond grateful to share that the doctors were able to remove all the cancer with the amputation. Winston has a long recovery ahead, but he’s healing well and already showing his sweet, resilient spirit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Moving forward, his care will include regular screenings, ultrasounds, and X-rays twice a year to ensure he stays cancer-free.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help:
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, sharing, and helping give Winston the second chance he deserves.
