I need help, pwebbers

Postby fawkes » Tue Oct 30, 2012 9:43 pm

So, if you didn't hear, my family had to put down my sweet little dog Holly last week. Well, now our little Jack Russel needs surgery and we can't afford it. Zoey has an infection in her toe, and needs it amputated. If you can help at all, please go here . Guys, I can't bear the thought of losing another animal.

Would mods be terribly opposed to stickying this for a little bit? I'd hate for it to get lost, in case people want to and can help and don't see it.

Thanks so much guys, this has been a very rough week. I don't want to have to say goodbye to another pet for a very, very long time.

Oh Erica, I'm so sorry! I will donate when I get home from work.

Forgive me if this has been brought up and decided against already, but there is a service called Care Credit, which is a health care credit card that can be used at most vets offices. If you want to know more I can grab a brochure and send you more info.

Unfortunately we cannot get Care Credit, mom and dad are going through bankruptcy and can't sign up for any type of credit.

All I can say is that I hope you manage to get enough to get her taken care of, Erica. I wish we could help more.

I just checked the total amount for donations so far, we've just reached $1200!! Zoey can get her surgery now, though we'll still need $600 for follw-up and care. Still, this is amazing. I cannot thank you guys enough! I promise many pictures of Zoey for as long as she'll hold still!

Zoey is scheduled for surgery on Friday. I talked to mom after she took her in for her pre-surgery checkup, apparently the bones in that toe have almost completely dissolved. We got her in just in time!

I'm glad she's making it in in time. Puppies are a soft spot in my cold, cold heart. :wink:

She's doing just fine, the doctor was able to remove most of the infection. Mom said the doctor told her the flesh of her toe had a jelly-like consistency :( got to it just in time. Here's her bandaged paw, she didn't let it get in her way:

Got an update from mom, the type was definitely cancerous. Luckily, the doctor is pretty sure she removed it all. We'll just have to wait and see. I'll try to get a new picture in the next few days, she has a new purple bandage.

Hope everything is okay. Definitely keep an eye out for similar stuff in the future. My first cat got a tumor, and after we had it removed it came back a few months later. May have been because we didn't catch it soon enough, but it's good to be alert.

I am very concerned about having to amputate her entire paw at some point in the future, but I'm really hoping it never comes to that. I'm sure she'd be fine if that happened, she's not one to just lie back and let things stop her from what she wants to do. But I love the little terrorist and want the best for her.
