Hey y'all.
A couple weeks ago, we found out Ozzy has thyroid cancer.
It has absolutely rocked my world in the most horrible ways possible - I'm sure it's no secret that he is my everything.
I started Ozzy's Crew just a few months after adopting him so I could spend more time with Ozzy. I can't stress just what he means to me. If you've had the pleasure of meeting him, I'm sure you also know just how special he is.
Since then, we have had a few appointments to learn more - currently, we don't see any signs of metastasis. His pain is being managed with medication + our usual CBD drops. He has gone from feeling horrible to being mostly his usual, goofy self.
His prognosis is anywhere from 6 months to 3+ years, depending on what form of treatment we are eligible for.
Our initial quote from MedVet was $12-$13k, on top of the $2500 we have already spent (and, quite honestly, didn't actually have to spend).
We have been VERY fortunate to connect with and they are helping us out as well (I cannot stress how grateful I am for them, please support them if you're able)
To be real honest, though, we need as much financial help as we can possibly get. I am planning to post a GoFundMe, but I'm trying to figure out just what amount of help we need before sharing that.
Business has been down both here and with for months now. We are surviving, but barely.
I will need to take time off for Ozzy's appointments, and will also need to cover gas and travel costs associated with them (the vet is approx 1.5 hours. away from us).
Two very lovely friends have put together a sweet bake sale they'll be hosting at this Saturday, March 8th! Please stop by and pick up some delicious treats if you're able to 💜
I'll be with both Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm at the International Women's Day Market at with as well - come stop by and say hello!
Thank you all for being here and being a part of Ozzy's life - I am grateful everyday that I get to do something directly related to him and it's because of you 💜
