💗TUMOR REMOVAL FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL💗

It has been awhile since I have had to do this but I’m in need of some mutual aid and financial support.

My names Riva, I am a queer, non-binary indigenous person from Minneapolis and I have two emotional support dogs, Florence & Zuko, who make up my family. A couple weeks ago i found a lump on my dog Florence, underneath her tail. I took her to urgent care the next morning to get it checked out and since than we have been in and out of the vet for testing and physical exams.

The tumor is what is called a mass cell tumor and can be pretty aggressive. Good news is that a lot of the time these can be removed and that’s the end of it, not so good news is that because it is so close to Florence’s anus and rectum area we need to go to a board specialist surgeon. Fortunately our Vet clinic, which has low income options, does have a specialist who can perform the surgery but it still is not cheap.

The next step is to see the radiologist for ultrasound testing and sampling to make sure the tumor hasn’t spread to Florence’s organs yet. These results could determine what treatment options we take next, wether that is surgery to remove the mass and hopefully be done with it or seek radiation and chemotherapy or just measures to make Florence as comfortable as possible. I already have this ultrasound appointment scheduled for this coming Thursday October 1st but haven’t come up with all the funds for the appointment which is $664.97.

The most likely scenario is that Florence will need the lump removed as soon as possible so our vet clinic has priced this out for us as well and the total estimate is $2,785.06.

Florence and I have been through so much together, iv had her for eight years since she was a tiny puppy and I can’t imagine life without her (I know you have to say goodbye are some point) but besides this lump Florence is in excellent health, she is full of energy and life and is constantly playing with my other dog. I believe if we get through this we can have many more healthy years together.

Any help and reblogs would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
