Odin's Christmas Emergency Vet Bill
Donation protected
Hello, My name is Melissa and this is my baby boy Dane, Odin. On Christmas eve Odin got very sick, high temp, he was lethargic and not himself. He was sick all over his crate and not interested in drinking or eating at all. I ending up taking him to the Emergency Vet in Henrietta, NY.
Once there they told me he had an extremely high heart rate and was running a slight fever. They took Xrays thinking he may have swallowed something he should not have, but they showed nothing out of the ordinary. He was also very dehydrated so they started him on fluids and told me they would like him to stay a night or two.
Christmas day they called to let me know they thought he may have a Prostate infection, So they had cultured his urine. The vet also said he still was not eating but over all look a lot better.
Today 12/26/2018 when they called me in the morning they said he still can not keep anything down and vomited twice, but she was concerned for a cough that he had so they wanted him to have a Chest Ultrasound which they do not have at this hospital and suggested I send him to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. The vet called Cornell for me and got a quote of 4,000 to 6,000 dollars.
Today as of 7am for 2 nights, 3 day, tests, meds and everything at the Henrietta Hospital our bill is $2.600. As some of you know I am on Disability and get a fixed income of $1,000 a month. I just can not afford to do much else and I definitely can not afford to send him to Cornell.
This dog is my everything, he is my emotional support, my life line and it just breaks my heart that I may have to put him down just because I can not afford these very expensive vet bills. Odin is only 5 years old and he has at least half that life left in him. When I visited him today at the hospital he pulled the leash right out of the Tech's hand to see me. So happy, tail wagging, much better then when I left him there Monday night. Because of this we decided to have him stay at the Henrietta Hospital a few more nights to see if he improves any, if the meds they are giving him help any and hopefully he stops vomiting so he can keep food down and get better.
To do this it is going to cost us about another $3,000+ so I am asking you all my friends and family for any help you can give, any dollar helps and if you can not that is okay but please share with friends and maybe they can help. I am asking from the bottom of my heart please help me help him.
