Last night after I fed my dog a pigskin twist she started pacing, panting and whining. I took her outside thinking she just needed to go to the bathroom. She went and I brought her back inside. 10 minutes later, the same thing happened. This happened 4 seperate times and on the last time, she urinated a lot of blood. I decided I needed to take her to the emergency veterinarian since it was 3am and I knew something was wrong. While I was getting ready to leave, she vomited 3 times. The vet took some X-rays and noticed a lot of food still in stomach and told me it was alarming since she hadn't had a full meal in 8 hours. They told me to follow up at my normal vet. I called today to try to get her in and was told that I couldn't be seen until tomorrow. I then noticed that my dog was acting very strange, not able to walk straight, whining, shaking. Again I took her outside and again she urinated blood. I took her back to animerge and they did more X rays and took a urine sample. The food in the stomach seemed to be starting to move but the vet noticed a possible mass near her spleen and I was told that there was a lot of blood in her urine. They sent me home with some antibiotics and some pain meds for her. I'm also being told I need to get her in for an ultrasound to check her bladder and to check the possible mass. The tests she's already had have already costed me around $700.00 and I have no idea how much an ultrasound could cost. I am currently collecting unemployment being that I'm a landscape contractor by profession and have been layed off due the the winter season. Im not proud to say that after paying her bills I literally have $10.00 to my name at this point and I really don't know how else to come up with the money to get her the rest of the tests she needs. Crash is the best dog I've ever owned. She is my best friend. She is loving, she doesn't chew things, she has never had an accident in the house. Everyone that has come in contact with her falls in love with her. Many of you know know her as she used to belong to Steve Anderson and his family, I took her in after they moved and I've given her the best care I could for the past 2 1/2 years. It breaks my heart to see my dog suffering and i feel completely helpless because of my financial situation. I've never done a go fund me, I feel as though I'm begging for money but I really don't have any other options. I would do anything for this animal. I can provide receipts and all the paperwork I was given at animerge if anyone needs it. I chose the $1000.00 figure because I'm not sure how much additional testing costs. I will provide all receipts, invoices and any other paper work I get to prove where the money has gone. If I exceed my goal, or if it costs me less than the amount I have received I will be donating all extra money to The Rancho Relaxo rescue. I really am not proud to have to do this, but this dog really means the world to me.
