Help Bella the Service Dog #GivingTuesday

Campaign Created by: Deborah Galle

The funds from this campaign will be received by Deborah Galle.

Goal: USD $1,000
Raised: USD $ 450

Bella is a 6 year old Dane mastiff. I am disabled with multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, therefore I'm unable to work so i recive ssdi and ssi.  Its not much though,  just under 950$ a month. After rent and other bills I'm usually broke within a week.  She is a task trained service dog. She alerts me to seizures and also does mobility and stability.  A few weeks ago, I noticed she was urinating blood. I overdrafted my bank account to get her to the er vet but could only overdraft up to 300$. The vet did a.urine test and gave her 5 days of amoxicillin. The issue seemed to clear up and she was back to her normal self, but now she's having the same problem and she needs blood tests, x-rays, and a better antibiotic along with some pain relief.  Bella has saved my life literally and figuratively.  If I can't co.e up with the funds to pay the vet to treat her, I may have to surrender her. I can not stand seeing her ill. I've been trying to sell anything I can, I've applied for care credit and ben denied I've reached out to different charities and they are all low on funds to help.  This is my last resort. I've prayed for God to show me what to do and a gentleman on neclxtdoor app suggested this. Anything is appreciated thank you for taking the time to read.

so we had the vet visit. Dr thinks it's a stronger uti so he is initially treating with 2 weeks of a stronger antibiotic to see if that starts to ckear it up. I am to call him friday letting him know if there is still the blood and everything. IF there is then the next stage is cultures and imaging to rule out or in stones. 

He found something else though. She has a murmer and irregular heartbeat which is indicative of cardiomyopathy so he wants an echo done to see what kind and if she'll need maintence meds. I took care of the bill today and will upload the invoice along with drs notes and estimates

Bella had a virtual vet visit today. The vet strongly believes the issue is either in the kidneys, or possibly bladder stones or polyps.

After speaking with a highly recommended vet and getting more accurate estimates I realized I needed to raise the goal. 

Anything  NOT spent on bellas vet care will go to another campaign on here for an animal in need.
