Hope by sharing just now could at least help, wishing all the best love, heal and care for Paige.

Paige has a promising lead with UC Davis. They have worked with IMOM before. If that falls through, there is a vet in Menlo Park that may be willing to work with IMOM.

In the meantime, a member has issued a matching challenge. For ever $1 you donate, she'll donate $1 - up to $100.

So, if you're in a position to donate, here's your chance to double your $$. Thank you.

Wonderful news! Finally, hopefully, she will be seen! Thanks IMOM for helping this precious girl.

Patient Precious Paige has an appointment with UC Davis on Tuesday.
Once IMOM gets a estimate from them, fundraising can begin again.

Please keep Paige in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm not understanding why she can't be treated for the pyometra first and worry about the tumors after that.

Anesthesia in an older dog can be a higher risk, especially one that is compromised -- I'm sure they'd rather put her under once and take care of everything than have to put her under twice.

I don't know the whole story but I will try to get more details from IMOM. I've always heard that pyometra is life threatening and is an emergency. IMOM usually only raises funds for life threatening situations. I'm not sure what is different in this case.

I do know that the vet who originally agreed to treat Paige backed out for some reason saying that they could not comply with IMOM's fundraising policies. What their specific objection was, I don't know.

Paige has an appointment at UC Davis on Tuesday. I'm praying that the breathing problems are not lung cancer.
