Sophie is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Dewitt, MI, who needs $2,000 for Entropian Surgery.

A couple of years ago, my sons and I were noticing our terrier mix was seeming to be more sad, and she had started vomiting bile. This was concerning, and we believe it was due to the passing of her companion, our labradoodle, of 18 years. We decided we'd be on the lookout for a puppy for our dear Zoe. My best friend Rene' had come upon a litter of puppies, & that's how Sophie's story starts.

Sophie appeared healthy to us, as well as to her vets, at her puppy visits. We adopted her, and things were going great! (Rene' and family, now have Sophie's brother too. He's healthy.) Then, on June 26, of '24, we noticed Sophie was acting really funny; she was walking into walls, wouldn't eat or drink, or respond to her name. After a VERY long day, she was diagnosed with a liver shunt.

The liver shunt has been about $26k with doctor visits, meds, and prescription food. She's been really doing well with these needs met. She enjoys running in the yard, playing tag with Zoe. She especially loves greeting everyone with kisses. She even makes a whimpering sound because she is so excited to see people!

Unfortunately, in Dec. she was diagnosed, and had surgery for entropian (eyelids rolling in), and continues to need 4 different eye meds, and will need another surgery in April. This has depleted my funds, and the surgery & continued medical needs are more than I can afford.
