Hello my name is Abbey. I am an 8 year old chow mix. My mom calls me her wuzzy bear because my big triangle ears and short square nose remind her of a mini grizzly bear. I'm a spunky little mutt. Recently I developed a tumor in one of my mammary glands. It has gotten quite large and needs to be removed. The Veterinarian said it doesn't seem to have spread and that if we remove it now she should be able to remove the whole mass rather easily. The problem is, the surgery is expensive and my mom can't afford it. The tumor has gotten very large and the skin around it has ruptured causing an ulceration that has gotten infected. I am on antibiotics and wearing the evil cone of shame so I don't lick it to make it worse. But until the tumor is removed I am stuck wearing the collar and at risk for further ulcerations and infections. Plus the longer it takes to get the surgery the greater the risk the mass might spread to other areas and become inoperable. So my mom decided to reach out to as many people as she could to ask them for their help so I can get the surgery I need to continue to live a long, happy, healthy life.
