Marty started having trouble breathing in the last few days. We rushed him to the animal emergency hospital and found he has a large tumor in his lungs. Our only option is surgery to remove it and pray that it is benign.
We adopted him at about 4 years old. He was our first baby, our best friend for the last 8 years. He has been there for the purchase of our first house, he was there the day we brought our son home from the hospital and in bed with us cuddling every night.
We're not the type of people that like to ask for help, but when it comes to Marty, I have to try whatever I can to keep him with us as long as possible. Unfortunately, the surgery & CT alone will cost about $5,000 - $6,000 in addition to the $1,300 emergency stay and approximately $2,000 in care after the surgery.
If you are able to help, even a little, our family would be more grateful than you could ever imagine. Thank you for your time either way.
