Lola is a 1-year-old Rat-cha in Kentwood , MI, who needs $2,000 for Gastrointestinal Surgery to Remove Foreign Object.

Lola was given to me by son is in Oregon. She was flown to Michigan when she was only 3 months old in July, 2022. She’s been with me since then and she has grown to recognize me as her guardian.

Lola has grown to love every family member and also some of the neighbors. She’s quite friendly and loves to peek out the window when she hears kids playing outside. She enjoys spending time with me and likes going for walks with me and sometimes other family members. She is also very comforting when she notices that you look sad or painful. Every morning she would come with her toy to wake me up.

She loves belly rubs and massages, and when you are massaging her and stop before she is satisfied she will signal by patting your hand for you to continue. She loves to go outside and try catching bunnies and squirrels which make me laugh just because of the way she chases after them. During walks she tends to get excited when we pass neighbors houses that have dogs. she got me through tough time

Lola has had diarrhea and throwing up for the past 3 weeks now. She has seen by Breton village and Cascade Hospital for Animals 4 times now. Treatment was provided with no improvement. She’s received fluids, antibiotics, steroids, appetite stimulants, etc without improvement. She is noted to have a linear foreign body. She was seen by Dr. C. Siegle today and was to have emergency surgery today.

I am currently not working due to poor health. For this reason Lola could not have surgery due to financial constraints. She was referred to Animal emergency hospital in Byron center Michigan. She will likely have surgeon Monday if funds will be available.
