Phoebe has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) and is in need of a BLOOD TRANSFUSION , plus many other tests and we do not have the money to pay for and the vet can’t help until we pay. This is not just a dog to us we are unable to have kids, so she is our child and we love her with all our hearts. This is something she can recover from, just a matter of funds. We have never asked anyone for anything, but today we beg that you will find it in your hearts to help our baby Phoebe. Thank You!!

Phoebe is unfortunately back in the hospital!!! She was doing really well all day she ate twice for me today, she was drinking plenty of water she even pooped today. But at about 7ish she passed out again. I picked her up an ran her over to the vet they took her back and gave her oxygen. And are going to do what they can to try to get her blood back up. Her blood levels dropped down to a 12!! We did what we thought was right.

Just got off the phone with the vet. Her blood count is at a 29! That’s huge her count hasn’t been that high at all yet! They did a second transfusion last night. I’m so glad we opted to do that and gave her a fighting chance!!! She will stay at the hospital at least through the day. They are going to start her on a new medication that is supposed to help give the steroid a chance to build her blood up. Please keep praying and sharing as we know anything could change. The vet said she is strong and she is fighting really hard.
This is our baby, our only child since we were never able to have kids. She means the world to us and we refuse to let her go when we know it is something that she can beat, there are many dogs that have beat it and Phoebe is definitely a fighter.
We are asking everyone who is willing to help pass along our GoFundMe page in order to reach as many people as we can. We do not know a lot of people, so we are reaching out to strangers because it is her only hope.
Sincerely
Marshall & Tonya Curtis
