Daisy Mae is a 5-month-old Chiweenie in Bulverde, TX, who needs $2,000 for Thoracic Duct Ligation to Treat Chylothorax.

We had just put down my son's 90lb dog due to serious aggressive behavior. He was distraught. My friend posted on FB she had chiweenies. We visited the puppies, & fell in love with Daisy. She was the smallest of the litter & the only brindle. She instantly drew to my son, played & snuggled with him. We knew we were in love. We took her & her brother as they played constantly while we were there.

Daisy is a little spunky feisty chiweenie. She loves to play with her toys and works for treats! She is a little spitfire when it comes to playing with her brother Duke. Although, he is bigger, she is the boss. She loves to protect the yard from the deer, well and anyone or thing...However, one step toward her and she runs for cover! She loves to get in grandma's lap and snuggle.

She is Cayden's (son's) babygirl. She is immediately all over him when when he comes home from school, and constantly roaming the house looking for him when he is out of sight. She loves squeaky toys and playing tug o war with all the dogs in the house. Our 130lb dog is also one of her bestest friends. When she gets excited she bounces around like a cat! Her and Duke always play tag together.

Daisy began having trouble breathing a week or so ago. I finally had to take her to ER because she just could not catch a breath. They found and drained 30 ml of fluid from one side of her chest & diagnosed her with Chylothorax. We have since tried medical management to no avail. She will have to undergo surgery on Monday in order to survive. She is currently in the best hands at the TX Vet School

The surgery that she needs is estimated at $10k at Texas A&M Veterinary School of Medicine. Other estimates we received were $12 - $13K dollar. This is a huge burden on our family at this time. But we have to save our Daisy Mae. We can't let my son lose another fur baby.
