Lola PDE fund

As much as it pains me to say my very little love of my life Lola was diagnosed with pug encephalitis, it is terminal and there isn't a cure. We have had her in the hospital and already spent a great deal of money - more than I care to admit. I want to bring Lola home from the hospital and continue her treatment for whatever life she has left.So far her vet bills are up to 5,650. We were able to put this on credit but if she had any other emergencies they won’t treat her with out payment. I just want to ensure we can treat her. Last week Wednesday Lola started acting off... She wasn't moving around as much, didn't follow me around the house (and she is my shadow) but otherwise she was ok. This continued through Thursday so I emailed my Vet, they asked if she was eating ok and other questions. They all checked out and they said sounded like it wasn't anything to worry about. Friday morning she still wasn't herself and was very lethargic. I called and scheduled an appointment, they ran tests and everything came back ok. They thought she had hurt her back. So they gave her steroids and she was back to normal by Saturday morning, she continued to be great until Monday at 3:30. I ran out to pick up my oldest daughter and while I was on my way home the other kids called to say that Lola had let out the most horrifying yipe so they ran to her and she was seizing. I called the vet and told them I was bringing her in, I took her asap. They looked at her said she was having focal seizures and that some dogs get seizures and we could treat her for them. They treated her with some sedative to give her a rest. We went home she rested for a little and then she started having these focal seizures they increased in frequency and I rushed her to the vet hospital. There I waited 3 hours in the waiting room while her seizures got worse. By the time they admitted her she was uncontrollably seizing and defecting at the same time. This is my young 15 month old puppy.... Any way they couldn't get her seizures under control and we had to get her to a specialist, we did an mri and she has been diagnosed with PDE Pug dog encephalitis, it in incurable and a fatal disease. Some pugs live for days, some months, and in a few VERY RARE cases years. I have exhausted every bit of money I have at my disposal to get her treatment. I know that may sound crazy to most but this dog means sooo much to me. If you can find it in your heart to help toward her treatment - medications and chemotherapy she will require, I would be forever grateful. I just want to give her the best I can for what days she has left.
