My sweet baby Norman was diagnosed with acute kidney failure, and was able to stay strong for a few days till I lost him peacefully in his sleep. I did everything I possibly could to nurse him back to health, as well as hospitalize him for several days at a local animal hospital where they continued to run tests, and check his protein levels. They told me there was nothing they can do and left me to make a tough decision. Prior to that I was set on nursing him back to health myself if all else failed! He was starting to walk, pee/poop, eat, and drink on his own. But unfortunately my little guy didn’t make it. And if you know me, you know my dogs are my WORLD. And when I lost my fur baby, it just stopped. I didn’t know what to do, what to feel, or anything. I just felt frozen in time. A painful time. My mom helped me pay for my dogs medical expenses but I’ve been in a tough financial situation where it looks very difficult to pay her back the money I owe her, and hoping to share my story to have someone help donate to help pay what is owed. One vet bill is in the amount of $1050.00 (East Springs Animal Hospital) and the other is $1027.97 (Southern Rockies). I need roughly $2100.00 to make this happen. I’m a single mom to a 4 year old, and have been struggling to get hours at my new job to cover my basic living expenses nonetheless, this debt that’s been hanging over my head. All help is appreciated, and even just kind words that can help me feel better. I miss my baby and his big chunky paws and nose. I miss his smell. His stinky frito paws, and his sharp little teeth. I strongly believe my dog ingested food (left around my apartment complex rocks) that had been sprayed down with round up. I tried looking into possibly suing the company for poisoning my dog but it’s a slim chance I’d even be able to win. My baby went to bed a normal doggy, and woke up a completely different one. I’ve been crushed for the past 3 months dealing with my dogs death, but found the courage to create this fund. God bless you all!
