Vin Diesel’s Surgery
Donation protected
Vinny has a mass on his right hip which for the last couple of months I thought was just a hive or allergic reaction to the many things on this earth he is allergic to. But this “hive” was particularly stubborn, so his vet aspirated it and found some concerning fungal growth. She is worried it is spreading to his other organs and lymphnodes, which could be fatal. Some dogs get this when they are pierced by a stick or thorn or some other foreign object. Most dogs can fight that sort of infection either on their own or with the help of antibiotics and antifungals. But since Vinny is severely immunosuppressant, his body’s ability to fight external infections like this is very limited, even with the help of medication. So on Thursday, we are headed into Blue Pearl for an emergency surgery consult and possible surgery that same day to remove the mass and any further spreading of the infection. Vin has had more than his fair share of health problems, and I will continue to care for him and fight for him. But I ask for your emotional and financial support in this difficult time. I don’t have an estimate yet, or any idea of how much insurance will cover, if any. But if you can find it in your heart to help me and this sweet bubba boy, I would greatly appreciate it. I will update the goal once I find out the total estimate. All the funds will go to Vinny’s surgery and follow-up care. Anything we don’t use, I will donate to the rescue who brought him to me, Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue. Thank you all, and please stay safe and healthy everyone!
