Indy's Lymphoma Treatment
Donation protected
My name is Jonpaul Kronser. If you know me, then you know Indy.
Indy came into my life on Thanksgiving of 2006 with a tennis ball in his mouth, and became my best friend and spiritual advisor immediately thereafter.
Last week Indy started vomiting regularly, and a few days later stopped eating. We went to the clinic and the hospital several times and last night I received the call I was dreading all week: Indy has lymphoma.
Diagnosing his lymphoma cost us over $2500 in vet visits: 3 physical exams, 2 rounds of blood tests, 2 rounds of abdominal ultrasound, IV fluids, prescription pills for nausea and appetite, a lot of words I don't even know, and finally a liver biopsy which revealed the cancer.
His vet bills have both wiped out my savings and created a new $1700 credit card which has already been increased to and maxed out. Now my checking account is almost gone too and we don't have any budget left.
I've never asked my friends or family for too much support with Indy, other than the odd doggsitter job. I've always been proud that Indy has always had health care, something I can't even say about myself. I've never had a problem before this week shouldering his cost. Now I do have to ask Indy's friends and family to help him out.
His time may be coming to an end, but I want to make it comfortable and humane by getting him to an oncologist and following their reccomendations for him.
Your donation will be used to pay off Indy's very large debt which was created while diagnosing his illness. Having less debt will allow us to visit an oncologist and focus on Indy's reamaining quality of life.
He is currently on Prednisone (a steroid). He is still in good spirits and is eating small amounts again, but I don't know how much time we have left with Indy so this is a fairly urgent request.
Indiana means the world to me. He brought me through some very tough times. He taught me everything I know. Our family (Melissa, Indy, Pocket and me) would be so grateful for your support.
If you can't support us please just give your pets or children some love and cuddles for me. Life moves incredibly fast and the misery cancer has caused everyone I know can't be overstated.
I love you all, thank you for thinking of us.
