Help Theo with Radiation Therapy
Donation protected
Saturday night I woke up to Theodore clenching his jaw and foaming from his mouth very subtly. I was terrified! After doing some research I thought it had something to do with his new food, that maybe he was having some indigestion issues. Little did I know it was the beginning of a horrible nightmare! I was already in contact with the vet and he said he would see me on Monday.
Theo didn’t have another episode until 5am, the episode seemed to be lighter than the previous one. After that, I continued to monitor him & Theo was happy and himself all day until 5pm when he had a really intense seizure. Theo was rushed to VCA Animal Hospital right away. They ran bloodwork and everything came back normal. It was extremely frustrating because something was obviously abnormal.
They sent us home and as we got in the car, Theodore suffered another seizure. I rushed him inside and he was placed on oxygen and they started an IV. I was told that during the seizure Theodore began circling to his right which meant that it could be a neurological problem. We had no choice but to do an MRI to find out what was happening to him. It breaks my heart to say that they found a brain tumor.
The tumor is in the left side of his head and it’s inoperable. Sadly with a prognosis of 3-6 months to live at best. Radiation therapy is his only chance and the procedure would give him 2-3 more years, shrinking the tumor dramatically and allowing me to enjoy my baby for more time.
All contributions will be going towards his Radiation Therapy in order to give my little guy a little more life.
If you can find it in your heart to help me out and get him this much needed treatment, I would be forever grateful! Thank you! ❤️
