Baby is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu in Roanoke, VA, who needs $1,900 for Hypocalcemia.

This is Baby. She is 3 years old. She is the daughter of my sons shih tzus. I was diagnosed with depression after my mother died my son was sentenced to prison and was undergoing treatment of which nothing seemed to be working. When she was born something changed. She was so loving and affectionate that she seemed to effortlessly pull me back to life. So she became my lifeline and reason to go.

She is the best thing in my house. She gets along with everyone and loves to make friends with you. She is very small but has the heart of something big.she is my support animal, best friend and furbaby. She is always with me touching me.

She is so funny. She loves watermelon. She would trade all her toys for it. She loves to hide her treats in the couch or under my bed pillows. For me to find later. She is very attentive to my moods. I am clinical depressed diagnosed and she will instantly just start loving me and kissing me bringing me back to a happy state. She is so tiny but runs as fast as a bigger dog. She loves to play.

She recently had puppies 4 were born Sunday and we lost 1 shortly after being born. She is such a good mommy. She is constantly with them. She out of nowhere started being very lethargic and her legs became stiff. Her breathing was very labored. She could walk or stand. I rushed her to the only emergancy vet we have and they diagnosed her with milk fever. Life threatening and serious.

I am the soul provider of my home as my husband is on end life heart failure. Last month I suffered a heart attack which has now put me out of work temporarily. With my normal bills erasing any savings I'm now unable to afford anything. My baby means everything to me.
