Help Our Cause

Louie is in the hospital now:
 

Louie is the sweetest dachshund you will ever meet. Unfortunately on March 6th we realized he wasn’t acting right. He started walking wobbly. We took him to Petfolk Urgent Care on March 7vth and after blood work and urine test our lives changed. His urine was all blood and his blood test showed his red blood cell count was only at 13%. This was now emergent and we were transferred to Wake Veterinary Medical Clinic in Knightdale. Louie was immediately rushed to triage as he needed fluids, more blood work and a blood transfusion. They believe he has Immune Medicated Hemolytic Anemia. Unfortunately Louie didn’t respond well to the transfusion after 2 ML and they had to stop treatment. His fever spiked to 104. They gave him antibiotics and let that kick in before proceeding to try the transfusion again. The blood transfusion is only thing that’s going to save him. We are waiting for an update but they may want to transfer him to NC State Veterinary hospital. If the transfusion doesn’t work NC State Veterinary Hospital is the only hospital in the area that has a “dialysis machine” in better terms, and that would be his last option. This option has a very high success rate but it is costly. After already spending over six thousand dollars between both clinics to keep him saved until Monday, the cost at NC state for the dialysis machine would be an additional 10-15 thousand. The vet at Wake Veterinary Medical Center was very sure that this may be the best option for him if this transfusion fails.

Update 3/9- Louie was transferred to NC state last night around midnight. His transfusions weren’t working at the clinic. NC state is monitoring him be it seems the only option that will work for him will be the TPE treatment (plasma) which ranges from $15-20k. 💗 

Update 3/10- Louie’s numbers what back down over night. He received a transfusion but unfortunately his only option is TPE. At 11:30 he was under sedation and they were getting him ready to start his first TPE treatment. We are praying for a miracle.

Louie is only seven. He has a whole life ahead of him. He is a lover and deserves a chance to live. I am unfortunately unable to come up with all of the additional funds to cover everything.

Update3/11- Louie did eat and got outside to pee on his own. He is handling the TPE treatment great so far
