Tylanii is a 8-year-old Chihuahua in Poway, CA, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Colon Resection Surgery.

Tylanii (aka Piggy) was an attempt to foster a smaller dog, since I had major back surgery and was going getting older. The rescue group told me she was in imminent danger of euthanasia so I said I would take her. Well one became two as there was another Chi listed. I figured, one more isn't going to break the bank...that was eight years ago. I now have 3 dogs 2 cats. Chis became foster failures.

Tyanii has asthma, and no off button when it comes to food. Prednisone makes her MORE hungry!So we nicknamed her Piggy. Her broken tail looks curly, hardly has any hair and T snorts like a Pig. Mom has AZ and kept feeding her ("...because she's "HUNGRY!" She ballooned to 20lbs! She once ate a bag of steel cut oats, and another time a 1lb bag of Hershy's minis! One ER surgery and one ER visit $$$$

T is mos def an alpha female. She is afraid of NO dog, and won't allow herself to be sniffed. She dances for treats, and is so bossy! We love her and think her bigger than life idea of herself hilarious. She puts ALL the other dogs in their place, except for Elvis the 70lb hound (RIP) who would playfully antagonize her.

T rolled herself into something in the grass. Turns out a 2"splinter (see photo) made its way through her back around her soft belly and into her intestines! Dr. Singh took out a necrotized 4" piece, cleaned out the large intestine too to make sure they got all the mess! and gave her 28 stitches! There is no one else I trust to take care of my beloved pets than The Animal Medical Hosp of Poway

My ESA Boomerang was killed by my neighbor's dog, 4/21 and I had to build a 6 ft fence around my front yard. I am strapped with this debt and and T's surgery cost just under $4000. I have paid $1500 so far but still have over $3000 to pay.(2 follow up visits after surgery).
