Peaches Medical Fund: Ongoing costs for a brain damaged rescue dog making a miraculous recovery!

**There are currently two different pages for Peaches, please find the other page here: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/peachesprogress**

Peaches is a stray Chihuahua suffering from an incredibly serious (but treatable) brain condition. Peaches is brave and strong, she has surpassed vet expectations and continues making a steady recovery.

We welcomed Peaches on 3 June 2023 to Christchurch by plane. We were shocked to discover Peaches arrived with no vision and was "circling" relentlessly. However, after a series of consults, we proceeded with some preliminary tests advised by vets then leading to a diagnosis of Meningoencephalitis ("MUE"). Essentially Peaches' immune system was attacking her brain causing inflammation.

While scary to watch and incredibly serious, we learnt with the right treatment symptoms can improve (or reverse!) but it has been a tough, expensive journey.

Peaches is surpassing vet expectations - she has her vision back, learnt commands, been crate trained and improved a lot. But we need a little help to ensure we can meet her ongoing costs.

This Page funded her initial MRI and diagnostics in June 2023, alongside her nasal x-rays and procedure. Plus ongoing costs such as: repeat bloods (3-weekly), physio, vet consults, daily medications, Cytarabine infusions (3-weekly) plus anything else she needs to live happily in foster care.
