💎 Jewels Surgery Update 💎
Jewels is currently recovering from surgery, and we’re happy to share that everything went well. She was spayed to treat her pyometra, had the abscess on her head drained, underwent a dental procedure that required only one tooth extraction, and also had a wound under her arm repaired. She is recovering well and continues to be in great spirits.
Today, Jewels had X-rays to help the veterinary team determine the best path forward for her care.
The radiologist confirmed that Jewels has pyometra, a serious and potentially fatal uterine infection. Without surgery, pyometra will continue to make a dog extremely ill and can ultimately be fatal. As difficult as some of the decisions surrounding her care have been, spaying her was not optional if we wanted to give her a chance. Leaving the infection untreated would have meant continued suffering and, eventually, death from the pyometra.
The X-rays also showed pulmonary nodules in her lungs and an enlarged liver. At this time, there is no way to know exactly what the nodules are without additional testing. They could be related to cancer, heartworm disease, or another underlying condition.
Despite everything stacked against her, Jewels remains the happiest, sweetest, most bubbly girl. She has wonderful manners, loves everyone she meets, and her tail never stops wagging. She doesn’t know she’s supposed to feel defeated. She simply wakes up every day happy to be loved.
No matter how much time she has, Jewels deserves the chance to experience comfort, kindness, and a life where someone finally puts her first.
We still need help covering her medical expenses. Her estimate is $1,674, and thanks to your generosity, we have raised $594 so far. That leaves $1,080 still needed.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared her story, and cheered her on. We are incredibly grateful. Please continue sharing Jewels and, if you are able, consider making a donation toward her care.
Every share helps. Every donation helps. Every person rooting for her matters. ❤️
