Help Fudge with his cancer battle

EDIT ** Fudge’s operation was a success and achieved clean margins which means he is CANCER FREE! There is a potential risk it could return however that might not be during his natural lifetime so we are just going to enjoy every moment possible! His stitches have been removed today (29/07/2021) and he’ll be able to live a normal life with his new nose!! The total bill has come to £5800 - thank you to everyone who has donated so far to help! **

On Wednesday 23rd June I got news that would break my heart - my fur baby, my soulmate, has cancer.

The usual process follows - countless tears, cuddles, phone calls, treatment options, more cuddles, specialists .. and the possibility that financially, you can’t do the very best for them.

Anyone who knows Fudge, will know he is such a happy, beautiful boy with a real zest for life. He loves everyone so much and is so happy every single day. To those that don’t, he is the cheekiest, gentlest soul. I’m sure everyone would say the same about their fur babies, but he really truly doesn’t deserve this to happen to him. But he’s been my rock through so many ups and downs, and now it's my turn to be his.

Over the years we’ve battled together against arthritis and skin allergies (and anything else in between) and I’ve always been able to do whatever was needed to help him or make him better, no questions. Even now, I would fight for him - I would do whatever it takes to help him.

Following an initial biopsy, we found out he has a carcinoma cancer in his nose - and without a CT scan it’s not possible to know the extent as to how big the tumour is or how much it has grown and if it has spread. Time is against us, and the proposed treatment plan is a full body CT Scan, surgery and radiotherapy - which all comes with a crazy price tag. Unfortunately, his insurance will only cover a certain amount every year, and we are facing a bill of approximately £7,000.

Now I know this may ignite some negative comments (…if you can’t afford a dog then don’t own one…) but during the 11 years I’ve had him in my life I have done everything I physically can to ensure he has an amazing life, and he truly has.

I’m lucky that I have amazing people around us to manage his arthritis, but right now I’m not in a position to have been able to have saved thousands - maybe I should have a plan but you never expect this to happen to you.

I still don’t know if this is the right thing to do but options are limited. So if you or anyone you know has the financial resources to help save my boy's life, Fudge and I would forever be indebted to you. Anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated, as will any shares of Fudge’s battle.

Thank you so much!
