Help Dolly the Pug to get vital medical care
Donation protected
Meet Dolly the Pug, a seemingly happy-go-lucky one-year-old pup. She loves nothing more than cuddles, playtime and of course her food.
Dolly joined our family after her previous home could no longer look after her when the first lockdown ended and they returned to work. We were in a position to offer Dolly a better home, and were more than happy to open our doors to her to buddy up with our other dog Winston.
(Dolly loves lying with her big brother Winston)
Sadly, almost instantly it was apparent something wasn't quite right and Dolly had to spend a night at hospital after going weak and collapsing. By the next morning she was to all intents and purposes fine and running around again. However, she has over the last couple of weeks had a number similar episodes and trips to the vets. Due to the first symptoms happening so quickly after bringing her home Dolly's care is not covered by insurance.
(Dolly needs to be kept warm and goes very tired during an episode)
She has had numerous trips to the vets and had all the tests that can be done without involving the neurologist and MRI, to rule out all possibilities.
The suspicion now is syringomyelia, which is treatable, but in order to diagnose and properly treat Dolly, these costly CT/MRI examinations with a neurologist are required, but if this is correct, then Dolly could go on to lead a happy life. It's heartbreaking that we can not just give her this chance on our own.
That's why we are appealing to you. We know times are hard for many, but if you are in a position to be able to support us in any way, then we would be eternally grateful to helping this young pug get the diagnosis and care she so badly needs. ❤️
We will update when things progress.
