Indiana is a 6 year old English Setter in Seaside, CA, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Removal and Pneumonia Treatment.

Indiana, Bimbi, Guster came into my life 5.5 years go via friend who had an accidental litter. Indiana was named after my favorite movie character, Indiana Jones. About a year after Indiana arrived home we started noticing some weird ticks which developed into gran mal seizures. After a long journey we were given the diagnosis of drug resistant idiopathic epilepsy - its been a long journey!

Indiana ingested a rope toy, we are not really sure how as we don't have them in the house. From there we rushed him to BluePearl in Del Rey Oaks. After some diagnostics it was determined he needed emergency surgery to remove the foreign body while in surgery they discovered a perforation which meant cutting part of his intestine out. 2 days later Indy developed pneumonia had to be treated aggress

Indiana is the sweetest dog you will ever meet! He is quiet, supportive, and comforting. He helped my through my cancer treatment, and I help him through his epilepsy. He loves others dogs, loves to play with ball, and he especially likes to go to grandma's house where she always has frozen watermelon popsicles ready to be given to her favorite fur grandchild. Indiana is a corner stone of our fam.

After learning about his epilepsy we developed a delicate financial balance, got insurance and felt that anything else that could go wrong would be covered. Our insurance denied our claim for both the surgery and pneumonia, leaving us with $25k of debt.
