Kodi is a 9 year old Golden Retriever in Stockton, CA, who needs $10,000 for Thrombocytopenia.

Kodi is a gift from my daughter. He and I live together in my family home, he loves to go to the ocean in summer and snow in winter, but the past year or so it's become impossible to keep up financially- for all of us, I'm sure. cost of everything up and up, my pay went down just when my puppy needs so much extra.

Originally, I took Kodi to his doctor Hanh at Venetian Pet Hospital because he wouldn't eat for 3 days and had not pooped for that long. I thought maybe had swallowed some bits of bandaging from a hot spot on his tail and that was blocking his intestines. They did blood work, took x-rays and an ultrasound which revealed a mass on his spleen. the bloodwork suggests a serious autoimmune disease.

Kodi is loved by EVERYONE he meets. He has this joyful exuberance that can make the worst day all better. We live alone, just the two of us since he was 3 months old, but my neighborhood is small and we have all known each other for longer than I've had him, so he makes his daily visits to say hi and they love him so much!

I have been lucky with the health of my Kodi. Probably took it for granted and assumed we would have many more years together. Just the initial office visits and diagnostics cost over 2 thousand dollars. I had to choose him or the monthly bills- no brainer. It's not over.
