Hiii everyone! My name is Rania and I’m raising money for my baby doggy Bella.
Let me tell you a little about her story,
About a month ago Bella and mama took a drive to run some errands and while I had her in the passenger seat I noticed her left eye appeared to be enlarged significantly more than the right. I called her primary vet immediately and they asked for a photo. Once I sent that over to them they suggested Bella immediately be seen at the ER. I called over to a hospital in Portsmouth, NH as they have an ophthalmology team but unfortunately it was too late in the day and the optometrist wouldn’t of been able to see her so I waited for the following morning. She was seen by an ER doctor as well as the optometrist where they both agreed she would need imaging to confirm the cause of the eye bulging but told me to wait on it and see if antibiotics would help in case it was an abscess or infection. After a week ish and no improvements with the medicine and another visit to the ER her eye only grew in size so instead of wasting more time I scheduled the CT scan. Over the next week or so Bella’s eye only got worse and continued getting worse even after the CT scan. The CT scan showed a pocket of mucus beyond her eye and Samples were taken from an aspirate to detect the mucus. It felt like the longest week waiting for the cytology to come back. Especially because 2 days after her scan her eye looked much worse and she seemed to be less herself so me being a crazy dog mom i brought her back to the ER which turned out that her eye had formed a corneal ulcer and i was finally able to get antibiotics to help.
I finally got the call from the doctor about her CT scan results that following Wednesday while at work and man was this the worse day of my life. The sample from the scan showed to have cells found from a tumor/sarcoma. CANCER. This was a complete stab in my heart, I didn’t see this coming for her and of course I spent acouple hours crying at work before my boss kindly suggested I go home. It was such hard news to swallow, Bella has always been so full of life, spirit, and energy. Bella was 13 going on 7 but unfortunately after this predicament it’s not so much the case for her anymore. These last few weeks have definitely taken a toll on her from finding cancer behind her eye to having a corneal ulcer to now being completely blind in the eye and having glaucoma, she’s been through a lot in such a short time and this experience has been far from easy on the both of us. I having been trying to stay as happy as possible around but sometimes it’s tough to hold it together. She’s my absolute life and my love for her is endless so seeing my best friend like this has been the hardest but the one thing I want is to be able to give her relief and comfort so she could be able to be more like her normal self than she has been these past few weeks. With that said her eye is very much pronounced from the socket we still have some time before it comes out on its own but i would never want wait for that or allow that to happen. I have decided to take the next step and have her eye removed.
We met with a new doctor today and we have scheduled a procedure for Tuesday august 17th, he will be removing the eye/ tumor. This is totally out of character for me to be asking anyone for money but where this has been a such a hard and long journey for us already and everything has been super costly,Bella and I need your help. If I may ask of any help you can offer whether it be a donation or to help spread her story both are equally appreciated. Please help me give my baby the relief and recovery she deserves!
thank you all!
