Raven is a 3 year old German Shepherd Dog in Phoenix, AZ, who needs $1,000 for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

Raven came into our life at 6 months old in Sept 23 . A co-worker from my husband's job had a litter. The last two left, the family decided the female pup needed to go. She was named after one of Santa's reindeer. However, when I saw her, She had the most beautiful coat of black that reminded me of a beautiful raven that would often frequent our home. I named her Raven.

The following year in May 24, we found out Raven was born with hip dysplasia. What to do. Well $13,000 later Raven had her surgery at Arizona Canine Orthopedic & Sports Medicine . Raven has since recovered and runs as a healthy three year old dog can! It brings tears to my eyes watching her gallop.

Raven is my heart. She is happy and is my side-kick. How could I not have had her surgery. She is my family and since retiring we are glued to our hips! Now we are facing other challenges since I retired. Her visits to Laveen Vet Center have been costly. I went straight to Texas A&M for a diagnosis of EPI. I just couldn't afford another bill that was $945. Now She needs enzymes for her survival!

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. She needs enzymes to eat. These enzymes are very expensive. She needs 4 teaspoons a day. I can't afford to go back to Laveen Veterinary Center to get her a prescription, so I have ordered through Enzyme Diane. I appreciate any help . Ty.
