About this campaign

Sox is a sweet little chihuahua with a huge heart. He is fiercely protective, very loyal, and will love you if you give him a chance. We brought sox into our lives 7 years ago when his uncle Kody's sister had a litter. He was 1 of 4 and the sweetest of the bunch. He is the best little baby and took to walks and going outside very easily. He loves to talk and is always sad when you have to leave.

Last week, he had to be rushed to the er for breathing issues and we found he had fluid on his lungs. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He is on a lifetime of medication for his heart and to control the fluid in his little body. He will need to be seen by a cardiologist to have scans done of his heart and constant checkups to have medication reworks.

My baby is special to me becaue he is my heart. I see everyday, he sleeps on my lap, we go for walks together, we play with his toys, and he eats when I do. He is a much my baby as my children are. Live without him would be very quiet and sad.

I do not have much money and do work everyday but it is barely enough. I need help keeping him healthy and happy. We used all of the savings we had and it is still not enough to keep him going.

    Sadly Sox has passed from his congestive heart failure. His little heart pushed too much fluid into his lungs and he could not overcome it. We will miss him so much in our daily lives as he was our baby. Thank you for taking the time to care, to read, and help others who may have to suffer this journey.

    Sox is comfortable at home. He goes back for bloodwork to check his kidney functions on Tuesday but today he is just napping and enjoy being home in his favorite chair-me.
