This is Daisy. She is a nine year old American Bully and she's the sweetest and goofiest dog you'll ever meet. Here's some of her back story: Daisy has been passed around from three different homes throughout her life. Her first owner was moving away and couldn't take her with. Plus Daisy is epileptic so she needs proper care and treatment in order to avoid any possible triggers. Her second owner had kids for her to play with but it still wasn't enough to make Daisy happy. Her owner realized this and wanted to find her a home with other dogs she could play with and good owner who would love her and care for her every need. They wanted to find her last and forever home. Her second owner was a coworker of mine and I was so happy to make her apart of our little family. My husband and I don't have any kids but we have dog that we've had since he was three months old that is about her age. Daisy quickly made herself at home with us and nuzzled herself into our hearts. Daisy and our boy Shadow are inseparable. He is a Pitbull/Labrador mix and they loved each other from the moment they met. We've had Daisy for two years and we plan on having her till the day she passes. She is our baby girl, our spoiled princess, and the light of our little family. Our dogs are our kids.
About two months ago we noticed Daisy was having an issue with her left paw. We figured she had probably played a little too rough outside and maybe sprained it. But it didn't get better as time went on. I'm a former veterinary assistant and I did everything I could at home to try to soothe her. But her leg was getting noticeably worse and began to swell. I took her to my former clinic and asked the vet to do everything. Bloodwork, radiographs(x-rays), etc. Her radiographs showed that her bone is deformed and moth-eaten. The vet told me he believed it to be Osteosarcoma(bone cancer). Shocked and heartbroken, my husband and I are determined to get her the treatment she needs. The vet's recommendation was that she have her leg amputated in order to prevent the cancer from spreading. Unfortunately, since she is a bigger dog and higher risk due to her epilepsy, the cost of the surgery would be roughly $2500-$3000.
My husband and I work full-time but with the cost of everything increasing it is making it hard for us to save up, even for ourselves. We make sure that each paycheck is first spent on the dogs needs before our own. That means food, medications, treats, etc. Our dogs are our kids so their needs come first in everything we do.
We need help to save her. Please.
