🐾 Help Bring Indi Home — My Little Shadow Needs Us Now ❤️

$1,150 of $15,000 goal
Given by 32 generous donors in 3 days

Please help my girl Indi, my beloved support dog, as she urgently needs specialist care. Every donation could help bring my girl home.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Meet Indi my beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel she is support dog and little shadow.

I fell in love when i visited a pet shop on a rainy day and saw two puppies, Indi & her brother. Her brother was full of excitement, but Indi sat calmly watching us. When the shop assistant offered a cuddle, I chose Indi.

The moment Indi was placed in my arms, she nuzzled into me and settled as though she had found where she belonged. I couldn't leave her behind — she came home with us that day.

She is my companion, comfort & a huge part of my life.

4 days ago, Indi became unwell with a sore, firm tummy and spent 2½ days on IV fluids. Although she briefly improved, she then developed rapidly progressing jaundice after being released home temporarily which has made her condition much more serious.

Indi is now back at the vets on IV fluids, pain relief and antibiotics. She has had 3 ultrasounds and 2 X-rays, but the vets still need specialist support to determine what is happening. She has to be ransferred to a specialist 2 hours away, where she needs intensive treatment.

Her prognosis is good if she receives specialist care quickly, but costs are escalating. Consults, scans, medication, is placing financial pressure on me after separating from my husband. She helps me with emotionally tough days with the waggiest tail, smile and the sweetest cuddles - she has always been by my side. With rent, mortgage, car and plumbing costs already weighing on me, I cannot manage this emergency alone.

Use of funds

Funds will go towards Indi’s emergency and specialist veterinary care, including hospitalisation, IV treatment, scans, blood tests, medication, specialist transfer, surgery, ongoing aftercare anf personal travel costs (petrol) to get her there.
