If you know me, you know asking for help isn’t something that comes easily to me. But sometimes life throws more at you than you can manage on your own, and unfortunately, this has been one of those times.
Our family is currently facing an unexpected medical emergency with our sweet Otto.
What started as a nosebleed quickly became something much more concerning. The bleeding became persistent, eventually coming from both nostrils, and required an emergency veterinary visit. The veterinarians are concerned that it could be a nasal fungal infection, cancer, or a tumor within his nasal passages.
Thankfully, Otto is home and stable for now. His initial bloodwork and organ function tests came back normal, which is encouraging. However, he still needs additional testing, including a fungal test that will be sent to a lab and X-rays to investigate the possibility of a tumor or other growth in his nasal cavity.
Unfortunately, these unexpected veterinary expenses are something we simply weren’t financially prepared for. My husband, Zach, is currently deployed with the Navy, so I’m navigating all of this at home while taking care of the kids and trying to keep everything else afloat.
I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for financial help, but right now, my biggest priority is making sure Otto gets the testing and treatment he needs without having to let financial circumstances stand in the way.
If you’re able to donate, any amount, no matter how small, would mean more to our family than I could ever put into words. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser or simply keeping Otto in your thoughts means just as much.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for your kindness, and for helping us through a time when we could really use it. We appreciate every bit of love and support. ❤️
