Missy's Surgery Fund

This is my bestfriend Missy. I've had Missy since she could literally fit in the palm of my hands and we've created an incredible bond--she's my baby. 

Over the past few months, I noticed a small growth or epulis in her lower jaw that has invaded her front teeth and has shifted them. An epulis is "a tumor of the mouth in dogs that is usually located in the gum tissue near the incisors or canine teeth which originates in the connective tissue that holds the teeth to the bone of the jaw." Despite that, she was still eating fine and being the playful pup that she is. Recently, this mass has been growing rapidly and is now protruding to the point were she can no longer close her mouth all the way. In recent weeks, I have noticed that she has been having trouble eating . 

I've taken her to 3 different clinics to receive different opinions. In my most recent visits I was given an estimate of $1,800 more or less and an estimate of $3,000 or more at a veterinary hospital were I was told it could be done through their emergency services. More or less because if it is an epulis that originates from fibrous and bony tissue, then the front part of her jaw will need to be removed.
I'd like to raise money to pay for Missy's surgery as I cannot financially afford it. She isn't just a dog or pet to us. For us and specially for me: she is family.
Any donations received will be truly appreciated. If you cannot help us financially, we ask that you might share this link with others and keep Missy in your prayers. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read Missy's story, for your help and for your support!
