Please help stop Alfie's pain

$6,823 of $12,685 goal
Given by 53 generous donors in 4 weeks

Please help with Alfie's vet bills to give him back his life.

Paremoremo, Auckland

Alfie is my world and has gotten me through some tough times, especially in the last year or so, with a spinal cord injury and losing my best friend. It's just him and I at home so he's not allowed to die of Cancer too!

He's lost use of his hind leg and severe pain has put him off eating which contains his meds. For pain relief he can use Fentanyl patches for a little while but he desperately needs surgery to treat his condition. This also adds to bills to manage his pain in the interim.

Thanks to generous donations he was able to get an MRI. The results revealed an aggressive cancerous tumor in his leg pressing on the sciatic nerve.

The only treatment for this is amputation of his leg.

He's 9 and it's expected he won't need any further treatment for cancer after surgery as it is contained currently.

The surgery alone is $8k, which with the other bills (MRI $5,289 + X-ray $1,365 + $100 approx each vet visit + physio + meds + spec consult) I don't quite have.

The target value is the cost of an MRI and surgery less private donations received.

The other option is euthanasia and I don't want to say goodbye to him over money alone.

Please help if you're able to and share this link.

Thank you for your support.

Use of funds

The money will be used to pay for his MRI and treatment that will be required.

Surgery complete, time to heal  25 April 2025

Alfie had his surgery on Wed and I picked him up yesterday. The specialist was shocked at how well he's been doing. He's getting the hang of walking pretty well although still a little wobbly as he figures it out, he's eating by himself again for the first time in ages. He is much happier without that painful leg dragging behind him even though he will have post op pain. We'll get the histology on the cancer in a couple weeks most likely but we don't expect to need more treatment for that. Will get him to physio in a couple weeks and go from there.

Thank you again for all your support, it's been so amazing and blew my mind, I didn't expect everyone to be so generous and loving towards us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love Nicky and Alfie x

I lost my wee boy to cancer a few years ago so I can relate to what you're going through. Sending love to you and Alfie, and hope he gets better soon ❤
