Let's save Kaiser!!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amanda and I'm fund raising for a special 5 year old German Shepherd named Kaiser. Kaiser is owned by one of our team mates and she is doing everything to keep her boy alive.
A little over a year ago Kaiser started having these episodes where he would collapse and faint, they did a bunch of different testing with a bunch of different doctors, and last year he ended up in cardiology and sent home with a Holter monitor. They informed us Kaisers heart wasn't working properly and would have moments where it would pause/stop which is why he would have those collapsing episodes. He was put on heart medication to help with these episodes. He was doing ok up until recently where he started to have more episodes, so he got another holter monitor put on. Unfortunately the results came back and Kaiser is getting worse. Those pauses are getting much longer, and the doctor said the medication he is on is keeping him alive at the moment, but with his heart getting worse its not going to help for much longer, and he is at risk of sudden collapse and death. The
doctor suggest that the best route to go for Kaiser to hopefully have a longer, normal life, is to go through with a pacemaker surgery. Kaiser is scheduled on Aug 8th to get a pacemaker placed, and we are really hoping this will help him live his life as a normal, happy go lucky dog, that he is meant to be.
This was a very tough decision being the cost of the surgery, but he deserves a chance at a longer life. If everyone shares and donates a small amount, we can get Kaiser the surgery that can save his life.
