Pita is a 7 Year Old Australian Shepherd in Wichita, KS, Who Needs $1,500 for Coughing.

Pita had a natural birth and was brought home at 7 weeks of age. He has stayed current on vaccinations, vet checks and annual use of heartworm prevention. Pita enjoys going to the dog park and playing fetch.

Pita has been struggling with excessive thirst and urination for 6 months. His bloodwork and urinalysis has been normal, but needs to be rechecked. His x-rays appear to be normal despite a periodic coughing. The vet feels there is maybe some concern with one side of his lungs. The hope is to address his pu/pd and then see if steroids would help his cough.

Pita is an active dog who still loves to cuddle. From the start he has always wanted to have his head on your lap for pets. He craves pets so much that he will push his head into your hand non-stop until you provide it!

With increasing living prices, a car accident that resulted in having to buy a new vehicle, a job change due to demotion AND needing to moving within the last month I am struggling to come up with funds for vet care.
