Bo the Wonder Dog Medical Fund

My wife and I adopted Bo nearly 17 years ago.  

He's been a great friend and companion, helping me through the loss of my wife to cancer and being a "great guy".

Bo has some issues:  he's had chronic pancreatitis and has been diagnosed with Chron's disease.

He recently had another pancreatitis attack and has not been recovering well; he's having constipation and a lot of pain and discomfort and the vet is trying to get to the bottom of what is going on so that we can treat it properly.

With the loss of my wife a couple of years ago, my personal financial picture has changed dramatically (loss of one entire income, health care, etc) and, while I've kept up with the bills (barely) and gotten some help from the family, I anticipate that expenses for treatment will continue for a while and I simply can not afford them.

At the current time, the outstanding balance on his bill is approximately $1300.00 - and that does not include the bill for emergency vet care when I had to bring him in at 11:30 pm on 2/16/20.  I expect that we are currently looking at around $2500 all told, and that's just going to increase with additional office visits, tests and medications.

Bo is an extremely intelligent, vibrant, engaged silky terrier; the image shown here appeared on the cover of the Sunday Concord Monitor (NH) showing his involvement with Amazing Stories magazine.  

And Bo is the last remaining connection I have with my wife as we adopted him together and he is in many ways the child of our marriage.

I simply don't want him to suffer, regardless of what the eventual diagnoses ends up being and I don't want him to suffer simply because the bills can't be paid.

All donations here will only be used to satisfy Bo's veterinary bills.  Any excess will be donated to other pet care givers and/or donated to Bo's vet for other patients that may need some help.

Many know Bo through Facebook and the Amazing Stories website and I hope that you all can see your way towards contributing a little to helping him out.

Thanks for reading and thanks, in advance, for your support.
