Please Help with Koby’s Vet Bills

As many of you know, i have a boston terrier roommate/companion/familiar/best friend named Koby. I rescued him a couple years ago and we have been the bestest of friends since. Recently koby suffered what seems to be a scratch on his cornea. We waited a couple days because it seemed to be okay and i just kept it clean and put him in the infamous “cone of shame”. Unfortunately, today his eye ruptured.. I had to call out of work and rush him to the emergency vet where they confirmed this to be the case. Apparently this isn’t all that uncommon with a corneal scratch, especially in a smoosh-face dog like a boston or a pug. I’ve been really blessed because he is otherwise and incredibly healthy dog. 

The part where this gets hard for me is they have to remove the eye. The cheapest it could be done was for about 900$. That’s where you come in – I don’t have that money. I’m spending the next day or so contacting some rescue orgs that sometimes have “Angel Funds” set up to help people with medical costs, and i’m hoping against hope that they can help me out to some degree. If possible, any donation would be helpful. Koby means the world to me and it kills me that i am not financially stable enough to handle this on my own. He’s spending the night with the vet and though they agreed to do the surgery it’s not likely they’ll be willing to set up much of a payment plan with me. So i’m really hoping that something comes through.. i don’t know what else to do in this case. Koby means the world to me. I love him so much and this breaks my heart. 

Please, if anything, just share this post. i know there are animal lovers out there who might have a little something to give, and i really appreciate it if you do. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopfully reblog this. I will keep you updated.

Please help Dee and Koby if you can.
