Tillies Vet Bills

Auckland

I've never asked for help like this but....

Only 6 years young Tillie has been diagnosed with Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia which is a relatively rare disease where her own immune system is killing her own platelets which means any cut graze does not clot ultimately leaving her to bleed out.

She suddenly started to vomit blood and this hasn't stopped, putting her into hospital.

At the moment Vet fees have been hefty, around $1050 to $2500 a day to keep her hydration up and administering of medication to suppress her immune system. We cannot support her alone unfortunately and we want to give her the best shot she can with life.

She is our fur baby and we couldn't imagine life without her, with a heavy heart we reach out please help Tillie today.

Use of funds

All funds will be used to help Tillie recover any surplus will be donated to another give a little in need similar to Tillies situation

Latest update

Pupdate...  4 December 2020

The vomiting of blood is now under control, and with daily monitoring and check ups Tillies hematocrit levels are beginning to stabilize, at one point she was as low as 24%, but has now made it back to 34.8%. Normal level for a dog would be around 45 - 55% with 35% being the bare minimum. Hoping she does well over the weekend and doesn't need another weekend with the emergency vets.
