Meeko is a 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Pittsburgh, PA, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Surgery and Post-Op Complications.

Meeko is the baby when it comes to our family of 6, cats and dogs that is! Meeko will be 3 this April and we have had him since he was a few months old. He is quite a character and a little piglet. He hates hot weather (much like his mom). He loves spending his days playing ball with his brother and pappy. He loves food more than anything in the world and enjoys a good nap throughout the day.

Meeko starts his day by announcing breakfast to his older sister and brother. He gets very excited! He spends his days hanging out on the couch with his brother or playing on the floor with his pap. He is very close to his 2 brothers, one of which is another Cavalier named Max and a cat named Kylo. At night he sleeps in bed with his pap, doggy brother and sister and sometimes even Kylo!

Meeko is super silly. He makes silly faces, and sometimes has silly hair. He is so sweet and wants so badly to be a lap dog even though he is on the heavier side. He loves a good belly rub. He has the saddest puppy eyes sometimes and those are the moments I wish I could take any pain or sadness away. He is a great brother to his dog and cat siblings.

Meeko had surgery for foreign body at BluePearl Pittsburgh North on Saturday. He did poorly post-op and suffered from regurgitation and inappetence. By Tuesday he was doing better and set up to be discharged later that day. That afternoon he became lethargic and regurgitated several times. Doctors in the ER and Surgery Dept found an internal abscess. He had to have a second surgery.

The cost of initial surgery was all we could put on CareCredit but our bill keeps increasing due to furthering need of care. We miss him dearly and he is fighting so hard. Such a sweet angel that deserves to come home safe and sound.
