Zoey's Medical Fund
My little Chihuahua, Zoey, is really sick. It started with weight loss a few weeks ago. She's only 6 pounds, so any weight loss is alarming with a dog this small. And then about a week ago she started scratching all over her body, and then she started smelling. I thought it was a food problem and maybe she just needed a bath, so I've been adjusting her diet.
But over the last couple days her neck started swelling, and the itching got worse, and I started looking it up online, and it's definitely her thyroid that's really swollen. And all the symptoms seem to fit a serious thyroid problem from what I've read and been told.
I don't normally ask anyone for anything, but Zoey is my life. A while back I injured my neck, lost my job, my house, and my marriage, and I've been trying to recover my health and go back to a normal life. I run a large dog-related Facebook page and we've always posted lots of other people's GoFundMe's, but I never thought it would be me asking for help. I'm at a total loss what to do. I thought I would be back on my feet sooner.
Zoey hasn't seen a vet yet, but I'm including contact information for the last vet I visited for her brother, Ty, which is where I plan on taking her when I can. Right now I have the cone on her and put some anti-fungal cream on her as a friend suggested.
I don't even have enough for the exam, but I know she's really sick, and I know they're going to want to run a whole bunch of tests, based on what a friend who used to used to be a vet tech said. She's my tiny princess, and I'm really scared.
