Help Marlowe Fight Valley Fever
Donation protected
Marlowe came to live with me when he was just 6 weeks old. He was a 'free farm puppy' after his New Zealand Heading Dog mom accidentally had an 'encounter' with a black Lab that showed up on the property one day.
Since that time, he has been training to be a service dog. I work with him every day and have taken him to three trainers to make sure he is the best dog he can be. But about a month ago, he started having a slight wheeze when he would run and play. Valley Fever isn't easy to identify, so it took a while, but X-Rays, blood work, and finally a TITER test confirmed he has contracted this evil disease.
I'm already spending every penny I have on his food, treats, and training. The thought of another two thousand dollars per year is overwhelming. I've already cut back everything in my budget after suffering a severe concussion and receiving a sky-high stack of medical bills. I could really use some help getting him through his first year of medication. Hopefully by next year, I'll have the medical debt for me more under control and his Valley Fever won't feel like such a burden.
As for Marlowe, he just started his medication a couple of days ago, so he's still pretty lethargic still. I don't think the fever has broken yet because his appetite isn't back. And of course, he still coughs and wheezes.
GoFundMe suggests I also share a Wish List for Marlowe, and since the holidays are coming, I thought that was a great idea! Here is list of things to help Marlowe on Amazon if you prefer that over GoFundMe: http://amzn.to/1lqib11 .
