About this campaign

Chicki is my service dog. I’m on disability. She ate a big portion of Italian nougat that caused her acute pancreatitis. I took her to my local vet that reassured me they could treat her there and no need to er expensive dr bill. That was Monday morning at fist symptoms showed up. She was send home to monitor closely and bring her back on Wednesday. Was treated with subcutaneous fluids at the office. At home she was worse and I took her to another vet that gave her oral vitamins and sent her home. In the morning she crushed after giving her her vitamins so I rushed her to the initial dr for help. Her kidneys fail as a complication and they put her on iv fluids. She was there for about one hour. They could not keep her overnight so the dr said she need it 24/7 ivs and they sent her records to blue pearl hospital and said they were waiting for her. so I drove back to pick her up and drove 1h and 30 minutes to Blue Pearl hospital. They placed me in a room with her on critical condition. I waited. I could not understand why she was not rushed in. They confused her with another dog that need it an ultrasound. She was rushed to the back after and I assume she was getting the life saver ivs she need it for her kidneys. Hours go by. Shift change. Paper work with estimate delayed. Finally I was given the amount of the deposit and treatment. During all this time I though she was getting treated. She was not. I paid the initial $3,000 on credit and they allowed me to say goodbye to her. She was not on iv’s. This is 4 hours after arrival. They won’t start treatment until getting the initial payment. My poor baby need it iv’s and pain and antivomit meds since Monday morning to save her life. This series of unfortunate events caused her kidneys to fail from dehydration. She is hanging for her life. The bill will go up for several days and I already used all my savings on the Bills from the other 3 vet visits. I already max out my credit and they will keep my dog if I can’t pay the remaining balance that is building up.

Chiki comes to dr appointments. Every where I am or go she is with me. She has safe my life and I’m failing her. She is my alert dog.

I love this dog. She is my family, the reason I get up every day. My life and companion. I have no other family. She is my service dog and my life. Is just me and her. I’m a senior with poor vision so I apologize for any gramatical errors. She is currently at Blue Pearl in Louisville. I’m not asking for money for me. I need the donation to go to Blue Pearl hospital in Louisville ky and I need all your prayers to help her pull through out this nightmare. I don’t resent the vet clinics that postponed the treatment she needed Monday morning till late Tuesday. I need her back. I’m a mess without her.

Acute pancreatitis with secondary kidney failure. She needs iv fluids to try to get her kidneys to bounce back. Possible several days hospitalized.
