I am so sorry to hear that Scruff is so sick. The cost is astronomical.... and is my greatest nightmare! I am so sorry that you are going through this.

I know that you are in Illinois, but I don't know where in location to Indiana. Purdue University (my alma mater!) has a wonderful Vet School. Maybe they could help. I am keeping you and Scruff in my thoughts and prayers.

Please keep us posted.
