Bailey’s surgery
Donation protected
‼️We changed our goal, we’re going for the other surgery(€1000) listed down below‼️ Hi, this is our dog Bailey. She's a 9-year-old female bull terrier that's really kind, loving, adorable and bubbly. She's a really important member of our family and I can't imagine losing her because we can't afford her surgery. We've had her since I was just a few years old so i actually grew up with her.
A couple of months ago we noticed some kind of growth in one of her mammary glands. We didn't think much of it back then, because she isn't neutered and it could just be swollen. For the last 2 months the swelling has been growing even more, but we're too tight on budget to just visit the vet. If we could, we would've gone right away.
This morning my dad noticed that the skin around the swelling was extra tight and she looked like she was in pain. We didn't have any other option so we immediately went to the vet nearby. The consultation itself was over €100, but the diagnosis was even worse. The vet told us that she has a mammary gland tumor and an inflammation with it. The inflammation could be treated with medicine (that we have now), but the tumor itself needs surgical help.
The surgery for removing one gland (with the tumor) costs €500. Removing a whole row of glands would lessen the risk of it coming back later, but costs €1000. The other €200 is for the check up next week to see if the medicine have stopped the inflammation and for the one after the surgery. There's also an optional scan to see if it's a cancer and if it's spread through her body. If the cancer is in her lungs, the surgery won't do anything. Sadly the scan is €270 and not affordable.
We're just focussing on getting enough money for her surgery, because even if the tumor isn't a bad one, it's still getting in the way and makes walking more difficult for her. Friendly tumors can also turn to bad ones later on so we want to get it removed anyway. Bull terriers can age to 13/14 years old, so this surgery would probably give her 3 to 5 years more to live.
She doesn't deserve suffering because of our financial situation, it just isn't fair to her. Her condition can change any day from now so we would like to have the surgery as soon as possible. Every little bit counts right now and it would mean so incredibly much to us if you could help us out even a little. If you can't donate, please share! Thank you!
