Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
We are so fortunate that we are able to "heal" or "cure" so many of the dogs who find their way to our door....thanks to your love and support, we are able to provide them the treatment that they needed or were deined, their troubles are made to be a thing of the past, and they find their "happily ever after".
Every now and again, our normal "magic wand" is not enough and we struggle to understand how the cards are dealt that a sweet dog who has already faced one life and death battle can be forced to face another one, and Solstice is one of those dogs.
Solstice came to us just a few short weeks ago with a huge mass obstructing her eye. She had been surrendered by her family to a partner shelter where we rescued her from, cheating death once, and our hearts broke when we received the pathology on the tumor on her eye and leanred that it is an aggressive form of Melanoma, making Solstice face yet another life and death battle as with no treatment, the cancer would likely kill her in 3 months.
We do not take those sort of results easily or lightly, so Solstice and her test results have been to see Dr. Seaman, DRSF's Oncologist at Broward Veterinary Specialists, who is able to treat Solstice with Oncept, a melanoma vaccine, manufactured by Merial, that will slow the progression of the cancer and based on all avaulable research, will provide her several more years.
Dr. Seaman is offering the vaccine to DRSF and Solstice at their cost, but as with many life saving medications, the cost is not minimal.....Each dose of the vaccine is $800 and the starting dose is 4 shots, two weeks apart, with follow ups after.
We know this is a BIG ask for our community, but after seeing how Solstice had been forced to live with a tumor in her eye, we could not stand by and let her cross the bridge just 3 or 4 shorts months after having it removed.
Would you consider a donation of any size to help us fund the $6,400 for Solstice's 1st round of treatment for 8 shots? YOU are her only chance as we are taking a big gamble as if we are not able to fund her, this will be a big amount for our war chest to handle.
As always, we welcome your support in a donation of any size and even if you are not able to donate, we still invite you to leave a message of love and support and/or to share her story as you never know whose heart you will touch <3
