Maliki is a 10-year-old Red Heeler in Ogden, UT, who needs $1,280 for Ear Hematoma Surgery.

Got my pup when he was only 11 weeks old. Got him ksl classified he is seriously the smartest dog. When he was a pup he has always been so itchy. Found out he has seasonal allergies. He is on medicated shampoos and allergy meds. He plays outside and loves to run and roll around in the grass or snow or mud so tht makes his allergies worse

He loves to be cuddled my dog is very needy. he loves to play fetch with me and my 3 year old. He sleeps on the bed with us but sometimes likes to lay on the hardwoods floor in the kitchen with my border collie if he gets too warm. He loves treats and will speak or roll over or sit or lay down he is the entertainment when people come over.

His favorite friend is my border collie they are crazy when they play together. They are very competitive when they play fetch my red heeler will bark all the time because my border collie is extremely fast compared to him so I make them take turns. He also when he lays down will have his back legs behind him and it looks so funny I call it frog dog because that’s what it looks like lol

So long story short he has had these allergies for basically all his life. It started getting worse this last year. He scratched his ears so much it caused a ear hematoma on both ears so they are filled with blood. I would have them drained often and then it stopped draining because of too much scarring. Because of how swollen they get he gets bad ear infections. The Clearfield vet clinic

I’m having brain surgery in march and going through custody stuff with my ex so money has been tight. To have him healthy again would mean the world to me and my son because that’s our fur baby and we love him so so much
