Intestinal lymphoma is now a real concern for Fiona, and she has suddenly lost a significant amount of weight and stopped wanting to eat.
Fiona came to us after Animal Control picked her up on a reservation in Arizona, where a good Samaritan had seen her wandering with a puppy at her side and a BB gun wound in her body. When she was spayed, it was discovered that she was pregnant again. She had already been through multiple pregnancies before anyone ever thought to help her. Her puppy had been adopted out before she reached us, and we would have kept that little family together if we had been given the chance. She healed from the gunshot, and then something better happened. Her real personality showed up. Fiona turned out to be silly, playful, and endlessly social. She befriended nearly every resident of the sanctuary, including the cows, the turkeys, and the pigs. The only exception is the tortoise, who terrifies her completely. She loves her stuffed animals and she loves making a new friend out of anyone who walks by. What she has never been free of is her stomach. Fiona has battled chronic GI issues for a long time. A diet change and medication helped for a while, and then over the last two months everything shifted. She lost a significant amount of weight quickly and began struggling to eat. She stopped asking for walks. She stopped chasing her squeaky toys. She stopped wanting the treats she used to love most. Her internal medicine specialist suspects serious chronic gastrointestinal disease, with intestinal lymphoma now a real concern. Both of those are potentially treatable, which is the reason we are moving fast. But with cancer on the table, we cannot guess. She needs an endoscopy so her doctors can see inside her GI tract and take samples for biopsy, because the right treatment depends entirely on knowing what we are actually fighting. The procedure alone is $4,100, and with medication and initial treatment we expect around $5,000. The spark in her eyes has not gone anywhere. She has not given up on her life, and we are not about to give up on it either. Please donate to Fiona now to help us save her. Your gift will cover her endoscopy, her biopsy and laboratory work, her specialist care, her medications, and the treatment that follows once we have answers. |
