Prince is a 5-year-old Chihuahua in Liberty, SC, who needs $1,600 for Parvo Treatment and Exploratory Surgery.

Prince was my mother-in-law’s dog to begin with in 2017. She had gotten him as a puppy and not too long after she decided she couldn’t keep up with his energy and cleaning up after him. So we took Prince into our home, and he became king of the house, even though his name is Prince. He lives in the home with myself, my husband, our daughter, and his other fur siblings.

Prince always slept with our son until he moved out at the beginning of the year. Since then he now sleeps in the bed under the covers with me and my husband. We have a king size bed and he takes up over half of it. During the day he loves to play with our daughter, and especially loves to play tag with our two cats, Simba and onyx.

Prince is a character, that’s for sure. He is spoilt rotten. He is terrified of thunder and loud noises. He loves to chase the vacuum around and try to bite it. He also loves to play a game that we call sock-oh, it’s a literally where you put a sock puppet on your hand, and he likes to try to attack it and get it off your hand.

Prince is currently at Smith animal Hospital in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and is being treated by Dr. King. He started not feeling well a few days ago and had vomiting and diarrhea. He has been diagnosed with Parvo and also needs surgery for a blockage in his intestines and stomach, which is causing an infection

At the moment it’s just my husband working so we are on a limited budget. The first night he got sick, We took him to the emergency vet and spent $500 there which was our savings. He got some fluids there and then we were just basically told to follow up with his normal vet
