Remembering Gus
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
On Friday, September 29th, Ashley & Jason's world was turned upside down when their beloved 4-month-old puppy, Gus, started showing signs of illness. He began vomiting, lost his appetite, and stopped drinking water. Concerned for his well-being, they took him to the vet on Saturday, September 30th, hoping to find answers.
The initial assumption was that Gus might have had an obstruction. An abdominal x-ray was unrevealing, but the vet stated that some objects can't be seen on x-rays. The vet provided him with fluids and nausea medications and advised them to keep a close eye on him. However, his condition worsened. On Sunday, October 1st, he continued to vomit and showed no interest in eating or drinking.
With increasing concern, they rushed Gus to the emergency vet, desperately seeking help. Tragically, he was found to be in multi-organ failure. Despite countless diagnostics, the veterinarians couldn't identify the underlying cause of his rapid decline. They tried their best to stabilize him.
Today, on Monday, October 2nd, we are devastated to share that Gus passed away, leaving Ashley and Jason with an immense void in their lives. Their hearts are shattered, and they are struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of Gus.
During this incredibly difficult time, they are faced with unexpected veterinary bills that have added up to a staggering $10,000. We are reaching out to our friends and family for any assistance you can provide. Your support will help them alleviate the financial burden they now face. No donation is too small, and your support means the world to us. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Every share helps us reach more potential donors and brings us one step closer to lightening the financial load on Ashley and Jason's shoulders.
Gus was a 4-month-old French Bulldog. His boundless energy was infectious, and it seemed like he could never run out of playfulness. When he was exhausted after playing, he would love to spend his time cuddling with Ashley and Jason. Whenever they sat down, Gus would eagerly snuggle up to them, his warm, furry presence bringing comfort and joy to their lives. He adored outdoor adventures, especially going on walks with his brother Dude and his friend Gracie.
Your generosity will go directly toward veterinary expenses incurred during Gus's battle with multi-organ failure and assisting Ashley & Jason in this difficult period.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us during this painful journey of loss. We will always remember Gus as a dog who brought so much love and happiness into our lives.
