Mojo is a 6 year old Pug in Pasadena, CA, who needs $314 for Comprehensive Fecal PCR Panel.

Mojo is my beloved rescue Pug, & I am currently struggling to get her healthy yet again. Two months ago, I bought some ostrich skin chews, but upon seeing their long, stringy filaments, I decided they were unsafe. I wrapped them up to return & put on my desk. She managed to get to them while I was gone. In just 30 min. she ate them entirely and has had diarrhea and vomiting ever since. I've tried

various gentle foods to try to calm her but nothing has worked. I tried graphing her meals to see what might be food causes. She has taken to eating grass. We now need to test for parasites & bacteria like Salmonella or Cryptosporidium that the ostrich treat may have introduced. Due to similar symptoms between us, I am also being tested by an ID (infectious disease) doctor.

Mojo is usually very attentive & active, but lately, she just mopes & lays around. She is a brave girl who deserves to get back to her happy, energetic self & continue being the best friend I could ask for. Diarrhea for 2 months is unacceptable & as I've had the same symptoms for even longer than her, we need to see if there is a connection. There may be a ZOONOTIC (shared) cause.

The images show what is happening on a daily basis. The hospital wants cash in advance. I'm living on Social Security & won't have anything until Apr 10. Mojo will have to suffer until then because of the hospital financial rules. We both need treatment at the same time. TY.
