Anyone else dealing with a sick dog...?

Hey everyone,

I never thought I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out for help because my family and I are doing everything we can to save our beloved dog, Zoe, and we are struggling to keep up with the costs of her medical care. Zoe is a 7-year-old German Shepherd who has always been the most loving, playful, and energetic dog. She loves people, adores other dogs, and has always been full of life—running around, playing, and bringing happiness to everyone she meets. She’s been part of our family since she was a puppy, and we can’t imagine life without her. Two weeks ago, out of nowhere, Zoe caught a sickness that prevented food from getting through her body, causing her to throw it all up, and inevitably inhaling some of it into her lungs. This led to her being hospitalized, struggling to breathe and in pain. Watching her go from being so full of life to fighting just to survive has been absolutely heartbreaking. I refuse to give up on her, but the cost of keeping her in the hospital and getting her the care she needs is overwhelming. I want to keep fighting for Zoe and give her a chance to recover, but I can’t do it alone. That’s why I’m asking for help. If you’ve ever loved a dog or had a pet who meant the world to you, you know how much they become family. I know that asking for donations isn’t allowed, so I’m not here for that. If you can simply share her story, upvote this, or do anything to spread her story, it would mean the world to me. Please consider sharing Zoe’s story by sharing this post or the link in my profile. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to anyone who reads this or shares. Zoe is still fighting, and with your help, I hope to bring her home.

Aww I’m so sorry to hear about Zoe :cry::heartpulse:. It’s tough to see them in pain.

I bet, that’s a lot to handle. How’s she doing now?

@Quill
She’s still in the hospital. They’re doing their best to help her breathe better, but it’s tough. Just praying she pulls through.

I can’t imagine how tough that must be. Have you thought about creating a fundraiser or something?

Yeah, I know that could help. But I also want her story to reach more people instead of just asking for money.

@Bevin
Totally get that. Sharing her story really can reach more hearts. Hang in there!

Zoe sounds like an amazing dog! Dogs really are family, you know? Sending good vibes your way! :sparkles:

Thank you for the support! It really does mean so much right now.

Is Zoe getting good care at least? It sounds like a rough situation.

Yes, the vets are really great. They’re doing everything they can. Just hard to see her like this.

Just saw this post. What happened to her? Seems really serious…

She had a sickness that caused her to vomit and inhale some of it, affecting her breathing. It’s been a nightmare.

@Bevin
Oh wow, that sounds awful. I hope she gets better soon. Dogs are such fighters.
