Nikki is a 11 year old Shiba Inu in Norwalk, CT, who needs $2,000 for Kidney Failure 2-day/Overnight Hospitalization.

Nikki is an orange 11 year old Shiba Inu that lives on the 3rd floor of an apartment with me and both my mom and dad. We have had Nikki since she was a couple weeks old and she was always very happy, full of energy, goofy, and loved to run everywhere, until these last couple of months.

This fundraiser has been created to help my family pay for our 11 year old Shiba Inu, Nikki’s, emergency surgeries (she has kidney disease, arthritis, an enlarged bladder, sudden muscle weakness, and a foreign mass/potential cancer and had an enlarged and fluid filled uterus with cysts and tummy swelling). We had just got her back today 08/19 from hospitalization after 2 days ... kidney failure.

Nikki is and has been my best friend for more than 11 years. Her beautiful and heartwarming smile and crazy zoomies always filled us with so much happiness and laughter. She would always bump us with her nose when she wanted attention, to play, or eat what we were eating. But, what was once our energetic and happy baby is now lethargic and unhappy. She barely wants to walk now and sleeps often.

The vet bills have already accumulated to over $8,000 in the last couple of weeks and the next surgery is going to throw that overall total to over $15,000. In total, after all of the urgent care, advanced testing, and further imaging the sum will be approximately $20,000.
