Sorry to hear about your baby girl, h00ligan.
Please let me know if I can do anything to help. I don't know anything about gfm, tho...
Thank you so much. You don't need to do
Anything. And I'm sorry to pollute your thread. I just knew we have some real dog lovers in the family and I wanted to ask somewhere I would get some support and feedback if possible. I don't want to pollute the thread further. Any comments on the godfundme should go to pm.
Also. I'm very lucky. I volunteered as a photographer and dog walker for the largest no kill shelter here until my injury. My ex, puppy's mother, also worked there four years. So we have a discount service place we know and trust. The surgery is only going to be about $750 with pathology and a full dental
Cleaning / sedation . Compared to a regular vet $2000+ easy (even dental is so expensive) . So we don't need to raise too much. Its just the raining pouring situation you know. Still we are lucky to have a great vet we trust at s place that offers a steep discount so per care is affordable.
The other way we are lucky is that I happen to love my dog loads and as a result I pet her all over all the time. So I caught this lump way earlier than most would have. I tickled her belly and just barely felt something. So if it is cancerous there's a good chance once removed that will be it.
We don't know how old she is. They say 8 when adopted so going on 17. I think more like 13-14 and just had been ignored and denied regular vet care (they guess she's based on dental examination so a neglected dog may seem older than they are)
Either way she's old enough we likely wouldn't put her through radiation. Maybe if it was short and aggressive but finances with my injury and my ex being well. Unhelpful with money, mean that's probably a no.
For now we just need to
Get through to the surgery which will be inside he next thirty days.
Thank you for your support and allowing me to tell this story in your thread. I wont disturb it further. I'll Do some research on gfm and hopefully we have some friends who will
Pitch in $5. If everyone did it would really add up fast. I guess that's the idea.
Thanks for being great about it !
