Thanks to the $300.00 donated so far, my husband and I were able to take Spike to the vet and cover the additional costs we weren't expecting them to charge us. 160.00 for the examination fee, $80.00 for the Gonioscopy-unilateral, and 58.00 intraocular pressure measurement. We went to the apt just expecting to pay the 160.00..THANK YOU! We go back in two weeks so we have two weeks to continue raising money, and working towards the ultimate goal of fundraising for the crucial eye surgery he will need. We get the written cost of our options in two weeks, the specialist saw how overwhelming this all was, and how much trouble I have accepting that Spike now has to fight with something else. Being that he is a mixed breed (choc/black lab with cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, and beagle mix) he struggled and nearly lost his life to a horrible kidney infection thanks to a kidney stone that not one but two vets missed completely over a two year time period. The K9 angel Corps isn't just about helping Spike. A few days ago I applied for it to become a fully functioning Non profit organization, im on pins and needles waiting to hear if we can.. If so I pledge the rest of my life as I continue going to school to become a Holistic Health practitioner and Holistic nutritionist, that we will work on pushing canine glaucoma research along, in addition to providing emergency funding to hard working pet lovers within the US, especially military families like mine, who live paycheck to paycheck, take the upmost care of their furbabies, and just get stuck with vet care costs that they never asked for.
If you are reading this and could take just 5 minutes of your busy days to please visit, like, and share our pages to help spread the word we would greatly appreciate it. Spike isn't just another pet, he is another soldier in this family. He's always been dedicated to this family, loyal, and never backed down from conflict. Blessings and have a great rest of your Friday night!!
