Leia is a 7 year old Great Pyrenees in Temple, PA, who needs $2,000 for Endoscopy and Ultrasound.

Leia came into our life as a puppy when she was about 4 mo old. We drove to Ohio to get her from a working farm where her parents lived. We live on a hobby farm, but now she only has 1 sheep to ‘guard’ besides our family, incl. grandkids and her four legged siblings. She loves to spend her days outside, laying in the porch and making sure we are all safe. She barks a lot, even at falling leaves

This Saturday Leia developed swollen hind legs and diarrhea with vomiting, so we took her to our regular vet (Douglassville Vet, PA). After many tests they sent us to Metropolitan Emergency in Norristown, PA for supportive care, where she is spending the weekend. She is loosing protein hence the edema - something is going on n her Gi track, but needs more tests done while she is there on Monday.

Her favorite friend is Marton, the golden. They hang out all day and sleep together as well. She does love digging holes and laying in them, she loves long walks and wading in creeks. She follows the grandkids all over the yard, watches them play in the pool, and makes sure they are all safe. At night she patrols the perimeter of our yard before coming inside to sleep… she is the best.

Our regular vet was $1270, and so far we paid $4k for her stay. She will need another ultrasound and endoscopy on Monday and possible more hospitalization. we aren’t sure where to get the rest of the money. She is the most loyal companion and means the world to all of us.
