Ziggy is a 5-year-old Miniature Pinscher Dog in Wilmington, NC, who needs $1,700 for Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Ziggy lives with his mom and Dad and brother, Floyd. He is a Miniature Pinscher and he needs a job. He is typically the King of Toys. Always barking. Curious. Loved by everyone that encounters him. He makes sure that the neighborhood and neighbors are doing what they are supposed to be doing. If not, he will let you know.

Ziggy runs things. He is a Min Pin after all. He loves barking at joggers. He also has beef with the dogs that live in the apartments behind our house. They love to serenade each other as often as possible. He loves his belly rubbed. Sadly, he can’t have his favorite snacks anymore. There are going to be a lot of new adjustments now.

Ziggy is a loving, cuddly, sweet boy that has gotten us all through rough times. He sometimes knows when I need him to snuggle up in my lap and give me kisses. He is his brother Floyd’s favorite person in the world. When Floyd was little, he followed every step that Ziggy took. And they always love each other.

We just found out he is diabetic after not feeling well and acting unlike Ziggy. He started drinking a lot of water. We ended up having to take him to the ER and they ran tests and found out he was diabetic. They had a hard time getting the ketones out of his urine, so his stay was extended and the ER is super expensive.

This was a sudden expense. We already paid a lot of it. We have just exhausted all our resources. My husband is an English teacher and I work for a company that makes lab equipment. We have a 17 year old Senior in high school who graduates in a few days.
