Help Oliver get lesion cytology, bacterial culture, xrays, biobsy — Lafayette, LA

Oliver is my three-year-old, 13-pound Maltipoo and the sweetest little shadow. He is timid with the outside world, but at home he is silly, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. We lovingly say, “I jussa baby,” because that is exactly who he is—our little baby. Oliver came into my life nearly three years ago and quickly became my constant companion. He sleeps tucked beside me every night and has comforted me through some of the hardest seasons of my life. He isn’t simply my pet; he is my family, my comfort, and one of the greatest loves of my life.

What initially appeared to be one of Oliver’s recurring allergy-related skin sores has developed into multiple painful, ulcerated lesions beside his eye and along the lower eyelid. Beneath the visible lesions is a deeper cavity with severely inflamed tissue and gray-green discharge. His exact diagnosis is still pending, but there is serious concern for a deep infection or other ulcerative skin condition that could affect the surrounding eye tissue. Oliver needs an urgent examination, eye testing, diagnostic sampling, professional wound care, pain relief, and medication based on the veterinarian’s findings. He will be treated at Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Oliver has helped carry me through some of the deepest loss and grief of my life. He may not understand why I am hurting, but he always seems to know when I need him—curling up beside me, following me from room to room, and reminding me that I am not alone. He brings laughter, comfort, and tenderness into our home, and our family cannot imagine daily life without his sweet, playful spirit. Helping Oliver recover means giving back even a small part of the unconditional love and comfort he has given all of us.

I am currently unable to work because of ongoing medical issues, leaving our household with limited income and no financial room for an unexpected veterinary emergency. We are reaching out to family and using every resource available, but the cost of Oliver’s examination, diagnostic testing, and treatment is more than we can manage alone. Asking for help is difficult, but delaying his care could allow these painful lesions to worsen or endanger his eye. Any donation, no matter the amount, will help Oliver receive the urgent care he needs at Town & Country y
