Peetie's Story

“Peetie is a nine-year-old CHI mix with an interesting, serious, stoic demeanor yet a very playful spirit. He came into my life as a puppy during a very challenging time. Peetie has proven to be a source of comfort and companionship, and he truly means the world to me.

In early August, Peetie started shaking his head. This quickly progressed into vigorous head shaking with every step he took and a pronounced head tilt to the left, making simple routines like going for potty walks incredibly difficult and uncomfortable for him. I took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with a severe bilateral ear infection. Initially, he was prescribed antibiotics and a topical ointment. Unfortunately, his ears were far too sensitive to apply the ointment, and he had an adverse reaction to the antibiotics. This required a second vet visit, where they prescribed a specialized liquid ear drop treatment. This new medication requires two applications spaced ten days apart.

We have successfully administered the first dose and are halfway through his treatment, but I am not in a financial position to cover these additional veterinary costs on my own. Peetie’s second dosing is August 31, and that will be followed by a final visit to ensure the medication took its course, and all is well. We still need to raise $100 to cover his remaining medical care.

Thank you so much to Keri at Paws 4 A Cure for their generous initial support, and to everyone taking the time to read Peetie's story—we are incredibly grateful for any help you can provide to see him heal. Please share Peetie's story!”

Every donation helps ensure Peetie can receive veterinary care that keeps him healthy.
