Hikari is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in ALLEGAN, MI, who needs $2,000 for Treatment of Life Threatening Infection.

Hikari was surrendered to Allegan County Animal Shelter with her 7 puppies. The shelter vet spayed her, on Mon 6/2. I took her as a foster on Wed 6/4. Hikari developed a red patch near her incision which gradually got worse, until it ruptured, on Sat 6/7 around 7 pm. At 10 pm I checked the dressing I put on her and the wound had gotten worse. I rushed Hikari to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital.

Blue Pearl discovered the spay area was infected and Hikari’s liver enzymes were elevated. The hospital bill came to $1,904.61, plus $49.24 and $10.13 for prescriptions.
Her recheck revealed a double ear infection and skin infection, plus blood tests show a possible parasite infection. The checkup bill and medications total $483.47
Next up - fecal lab tests...

Hikari is such a sweet girl! I can’t even begin to explain it. Just look at her eyes… She came to me, showing no interest in my other dogs, no interest in toys, no interest in peanut butter filled Kongs (a pack favorite). Now, she is happy and playful! She loves playing chase with her younger sister Harper and absolutely loves treat puzzle toys and peanut butter and pup cups. And walks!

Sadly, because I took Hikari to the ‘wrong’ Emergency Vet, even though the shelter never told me what emergency vet to use, the shelter has refused to cover any of the bills. I put everything on my Care Credit and I am selling things, doing anything I can to cover the bills.
