Nikki is a 9-year-old Mix in Santa Rosa, CA, who needs $1,000 for Bloodwork and Ultrasound.

in 2015, I rescued this dog because I was having a very difficult time continuing to work due to family problems with my daughter. I have had her since then and she has been the best dog ever. I'm afraid she might have some thing wrong with her now I just lost my brother last month. I am very scared today we go to the vet.

she is the sweetest dog with everybody we go hiking have gone hiking miles together most days of the week. She's slowing down now at the age of nine. She loves to swim in the creeks in the legs, but she didn't know how to swim her best friend is a labrador had to teach her how to swim and then she loves it ever since.

she loves to hunt for lizards. It's her passion, if she finds one and she pause it a little bit and then it plays dead and she doesn't know what to do with it, so she just leaves it alone and then of course, it's just pretending to be dead, and it comes back to life she hardly ever catches them

she suddenly has a bloated tummy and I am afraid that it is going to be organ, failure or heart failure, but we will find out as we go to the vet today for Tests,, I am hoping that it is some thing like parasites, and not some thing worse

I am retired, and on Social Security, I worked in the healthcare industry for many years. I am on limited income. I have pet insurance, but I had to let it go because I couldn't afford it anymore.
