Dora's Unexpected Blood Transfusion Vet Bill

This fundraiser is to help raise money for Dora's mom, Alice, to assist in paying for a large and unexpected vet bill. 

After an evening of being without her usual pep, Dora was taken to the vet to get checked out. 

She needed a blood transfusion and several nights in the hospital. Her red blood cell count was 11%. Anemia, jaundice, maybe more. (This is what we  know at this time.) The blood transfusion/s will hopefully lead to stabilization, followed by a series of medications for further stabilization. 

Ever since Dora came into her life as a rescue dog, Dora has struggled with health issues.  She has never been this sick before, though.  Once she has   been stabilized, Dora will need more testing to try to get to the root cause of what is causing her ill health.  

Alice is one of the best moms I know.  She treats Dora (and her brother Shunka) with so much care, brushing their teeth every night, giving them high quality food to support their health, taking them for hikes, using seat belts to protect them in the car.  Her babies are well cared for and loved.

This vet bill is currently estimated to be near $8000.  Alice has already paid about half of this as a downpayment required by the hospital. Helping to  get this bill manageable will mean less financial stress on Dora's family as they continue to help her heal as Dora will need further treatments  once this hospital visit is over. 

Thank you for reading about sweet Dora and for your kind contributions!
