Gus is a 11 year old Mix-Breed in Hendersonville , NC, who needs $2,000 for IV, Chest Tube, Blood Work, X-rays, Inpatient.

Gus came into our lives 5 years ago when he started hanging out on our porch. We found out shortly before we moved in 2022 that his people abandoned him. We decided to bring him with us when we moved to our new house. And he's been with us ever since. Gus had his name when he came to us.

We took us to our vet on Monday 9/23 due to coughing & struggling to breathe. X-ray showed fluid around his lungs. We were referred to FETCH in Greenville for today but I changed plans due to his condition this morning. I took him to VEG where fluid was removed & transferred to SAVES. He now has a raging infection and a chest tube. Waiting for pathology results on white blood cells.

We love Gus so much. He's our sassy Sour Patch Kid that loves lap time. And has the most beautiful blue eyes. He's never been sick before. I hate seeing him this way. It just makes me cry every time I see him. I want to make his pain and breathing issues better. His brother Linus misses him too.

We were lucky enough to get pet insurance. But it looks like that's only going to cover a little more than half of what this may cost at the end. And honestly will pretty much wipe our savings out if it goes anywhere close to or over the high estimate.
