Vet says it's some kind of tumour and will cost at least $450 to remove.

Auckland

Hi, my name is Benny. About a year ago, an overenthusiastic husky bit me in my ear while I was minding my own business in the dog park. Eventho it was bleeding profusely, my buddy, Andy, stopped the bleeding and got me cleaned up. The incident was forgotten ... until recently!

A few weeks ago, Andy began noticing a small growth on my ear. Thinking it may be a wart, he started treating it as such with wart removers. But nothing worked. It grew larger and larger.

Yesterday, Andy decided to bring me to see the vet to get it fixed. The vet asked if I had been bitten and sure enough, I had been! He said that it's some kind of tumour and will cost at least $450 to remove.

My buddy, Andy, simply can't afford this as he just started part-time work after not being able to work while suffering from depression due to a personal tragedy. I have been Andy's constant companion throughout his ordeal.

I really hope you can help as I would really like to get it fixed so it doesn't get worse. Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated.

Use of funds

The funds will be used in surgical costs to remove the tumour on Benny's ear.

Thank you for all the support  1 June 2018

Hi everyone! My buddy Andy had made an appointment with the vet and got the tumour removed ... YAY!

It's gone now ... but I'm not as good-looking as I used to be :( - my left ear looks like it has a bullet hole! But I'm all fine now. I just can't wait to get out of this pesky cone!

Thank you, again!
