Last year Harlee's Angels rescued Emmi from a horrific situation. Everyone that met her fell in love and who could blame them; she's the sweetest little girl I've ever met.
We work with Colorado Pug Rescue and knew they had a lot of applicants, but no pug babies so we sent Emmi to them because we knew they would take care of her and make sure she got a wonderful home.
Shelley was her foster and of course became a foster failure (I had secretly hoped she would stay and she did). Emmi was in the perfect home.
Fast forward to this morning. Shelley got home from work and Emmi could not breathe. When she could catch her breath, it was labored and she hacked. Emmi was rushed to her regular vet where they determined her condition was critical and she needed to go to the emergency vet because they were better equipped to handle her condition.
The news is not good. Emmi is in heart failure. Her heart is 3 times normal size and her lungs are full of fluid. She is currently in intensive care in an oxygen chamber receiving breathing treatments and medication. She has been slightly sedated to keep her calm and more comfortable. The good news is her bloodwork and labs came back great so she can handle the treatments and medication from this point. If she responds well/holds her own over the next 24 hours she will see the cardiologist on Monday and they will do an echocardiogram to determine further course of action.
We all know vet bills in general are not cheap and emergency visits even more expensive. The rough estimate for Emmi so far is $3700. Shelley has paid $1400 to cover the first 24 hours.
Not once did Shelley ask us to help, but that's not the way Harlee's Angels operates. I made a promise to Emmi when she left that I would always be there for her...I keep my promises.
This fundraiser has been set up to help Emmi and her mommy with these emergency expenses. We all know we would sell our souls for our babies if they needed something. Emmi and her mommy need our help.
I have included Emmi's xrays and a copy of the vet bill so far.
We ask that you please consider a donation of any size towards Emmi's care. All funds are going directly to Shelley so she will have immediate access to them. If you would like to donate to the vet directly you will need to contact Shelley directly to ask if this is possible.
On behalf of Emmi and her mommy, thank you so very much.
