💔 Jewels Update from the Vet 💔
💎 Today was a difficult day for our sweet girl, Jewels.
💎 The veterinarian confirmed that Jewels has advanced heartworm disease, and her blood work is extremely concerning. While the large slice under her front leg looked like one of her most serious injuries when she arrived, it is actually one of the lesser concerns right now.
💎 Jewels has multiple abscesses and infected wounds on her head that need to be drained, but at this time she is not stable enough to undergo anesthesia.
💎 In addition, Jewels has enlarged lymph nodes throughout her entire body, raising concerns about the possibility of cancer. She is also experiencing a thick vaginal discharge, which has the veterinarian concerned about a possible pyometra (uterine infection). More testing and treatment will be needed before we have answers.
💎 The list of medical concerns seems overwhelming, but somehow Jewels remains the sweetest girl imaginable. She continues to wag her tail, soak up affection, and hand out kisses to everyone she meets. Even after everything she’s been through, she still trusts people.
💎 As you can imagine, her veterinary bill is already growing quickly. We paid a $250 deposit today, but this is only the beginning of what will likely be a lengthy and expensive medical journey. Our last medical boarding case resulted in a veterinary bill of more than $4,000, and Jewels may require extensive diagnostics, medications, treatment, and ongoing care before we know exactly what we’re facing.
