Mia is a 10 Year Old Blackmouth Cur in Whitehouse, TX, Who Needs $1,000 for Ketoacidosis with Pancreatitis.

Mia was rescued on the side of the interstate with her brother Bentley. When I saw her sweet little face, I fell in love and brought her home. Over the years she has been with our family through ups and downs--a sister to her fellow furr-friends, a best friend to a boy through childhood, and a companion to this old lady. She is part of our family and loved dearly.

Mia is a survivor, a tough girl with a will to live. She was hit by a car at a young age and lost her tail, but we made it through. Later in life she developed heartworms and endured aggressive therapy, but she overcame it. Just a year ago, we learned of her Cushings disease which requires daily medicine. Now we have a new issue that will require more meds. I just want to give my girl a chance

When Mia was hit by the car, she had an open wound on the belly that could not be stitched or stapled. So we had to leave it open to heal from the inside out. Mia was patient through her healing, so trusting of us to care for her. I always get compliments on her polite, patient demeanor. She could teach us all a thing or two about having faith in people's kindness.

Over the past year, we have lost 2 of our other furr-babies due to unforeseen circumstances. So I have had vet bills, one on top of the other. I just don't want to lose Mia too because I can't afford another vet bill. Her condition is treatable but a little expensive.
