Hi, my name is Wisp and im a 1 year old golden retriever! I'm currently sick and need to travel to Ottawa for further testing. I woke up this morning with a seizure, scary! I've had blood tests, urine tests, and x rays done and the only thing that appeared out of the ordinary were signs of an infection. I need to go to Ottawa for an ultrasound and possibly other testing to determine where this infection is so we can treat it. I already had a $2300 vet bill yesterday, today will be another $1100 and if I go to Ottawa that'll be at least another $2000 or more! I'm currently hospitalized to try and get my fever down and treat the symptoms of the infection, but if i dont improve I'll be going to Ottawa tomorrow.

My name is Meghan and im Wisp's momma, I just started a new job so these bills are very hard to afford at the moment. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

She last ate on Sunday, so yesterday (Tuesday) i brought her into the vet as she was becoming lethargic. They ran blood work, urine tests, and x rays and the urine and x rays came back normal but her blood work was indicating an infection. I brought her home with some antibiotics, and initially she was starting to appear a bit better. she wanted to go outside to play, and drank some water. When she came back in she went right back to my bed to lay down, so i went to bed early to cuddle her and watch some movies. I was woken up at 8am to her having a seizure, so I called her vet and rushed her back in. After an initial exam they noted her temperature had gone up to 40°C which is a high fever, her temperature most likely caused the seizure. So they've since hospitalized her to give her IV fluids to try and bring her temp down, and will be administering more antibiotics and trying some anti-nausea meds to try and get her to eat something. Her total bill today will be $1100, i've already payed $400 so it'll be another $700 when i go pick her up tonight. If she does not improve, I'll be bringing her to a specialist in Ottawa who will run further testing. My GoFundMe is listed so high because we're unsure how much that would be, it would likely be between $2k-$3k but it could end up more. if i somehow receive more donations than required i will have GoFundMe refund the extra. Thank you to everyone, even just sharing this helps.
