Daisy's vet bill

Hi, my name is Daisy, I am a Beagle Red Heeler, I am turning 11 on February 1st and this is my story. So back in September I was so itchy and chewing, biting myself until I bled. I had a very bad rash and hives It became so bad that my owner had no choice but to cone me.. I ran into things and knocked over things with the cone of shame. So my owner bought me a donut which helped so much. My vet thought it was just allergies, very bad allergies. But then my owner started getting a rash and was itching really bad. By early November. My owner went to the docs and they diagnosed her with Sarcoptic mange AKA scabies. She had to be treated and right away she called the vet and told them what she was diagnosed with. I gave my owner it. Where I got it from is a mystery. So in early November I got meds to help with the itches. The medicine I got was to be put between my shoulder blades which she did. She put it on Tuesday and 6 days later on a Monday things went downhill fast. I was starting to get very little lethargic on Sunday night my owners dad woke her up to check on me. She woke up and was very concerned about me. I was laying down not wanting to eat. I could hardly stand or walk on my own. My owner picked me up to carry me around. She called the vet right away and they got me in that same day. They told her I was a very sick dog and told her to take me to the ER vet. So she took me to the ER vet. The vet told my owner I had tachycardia, myelopathy, was in shock, hyperthermic, dehydration, was lacking protein even tho I was getting really good food. My Heart rate was 160 when it should've been 80. I had to stay overnight at the ER vet to get fluids all night long. They had to warm me up. So my owner went to pick me up the following morning early. They told her to take me to my regular vet to continue the fluids so I was there for half a day. They did ultrasounds and X-rays on me to find out what happened they think I have an enlarged heart and fluid around my heart and liver. I have to be on 2 different meds to help with my distended/bloated belly. I'm my owners ESA dog and she is on fixed income and I broke her bank which she told me she is fine with just as long as I'm doing good. If it weren't for my owner I wouldn't have made it through the night if she waited. She knew something was seriously wrong and for that I am grateful. I am doing allot better now all thanks to my owner and her parents who helped pay the bill. She still has to pay the bill so we aren't in debt. Please any help is much appreciated. For about a week I wouldn't touch my dry kibble so my owner made some chicken and eggs for me to eat so I didn't starve myself. I mean the world to her and she will do anything and everything for me. She changed my food to a different brand which has 37.5% protein. It costs her about $100 a month on top of the $2'500 debt. She is struggling and I can tell. I comfort her in her time of need. My owners friend has a fundraiser setup on my behalf. So please don't get worried or concerned if you see another fundraiser with my pic. I'm just trying to get my fundraiser fully funded. If you can't donate please share we could use all the shares and donations as possible.
