Help with Bella’s Surgery Cost & Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
This is our Bella and she’s been by my side for 10 years now. If you ever had a chance to meet her, you know she is the sweetest, most loving girl with the biggest personality. She loves everyone and we love her right back. She's truly my best friend.
On May 21st, we woke up to find our Bella girl behaving strangely, just sitting by the bathroom staring into space and not wanting to move or do anything she usually does. We took her to the vet and the doctors found a large mass on her spleen that was actively bleeding. Bella needed emergency surgery right then and there or she wouldn’t make it through the night. I was faced with the hardest decision of my entire life; pay $11k for this emergency surgery or let my best friend go without even saying goodbye.
In the end, I could not put her down, not after all the years she’s been there for me. I owed it to her. I charged it to the credit card and we went forward with the surgery which was successful. The following day, we received more bad news. The mass that had grown was caused by a very aggressive cancer called Hemangiosarcoma. Doctors gave her 1-3 months life expectancy. Bella is a tough girl and she’s going to beat those odds.
We are doing everything we can to make sure Bella is the happiest girl for the rest of her time here with us. We immediately began doing all the research we could on Hemangiosarcoma and found her special (very expensive) supplements that seem promising. I’ve read many stories and testimonies on how these supplements affect dogs with her same disease and life expectancy tripled or even quadrupled. After recovery from her surgery, Bella is still very much full of life and has been acting like her sweet, loving, happy self lately. I truly believe this is due to the supplements and all the love we give her. We are so appreciative for this extra time we get with our girl and cherish every second with her. I’m sure she appreciates getting to see all of her friends and family who all love her so much.
Unfortunately, the cost of Bella’s surgery and supplements had a greater financial effect on us than expected. We are reaching out to ask for donations to help cover some of our girl’s medical bills and medication. Anything helps. No donation is too small and we would be extremely grateful for anything at all.
