Chi Chi is a 4 year old female Golden Retriever that was rescued
in South Korea after being found in a trash bag with her legs bound.
In order to save her life, portions of all four of her legs had to
be amputated. She now lives in the USA, is able to walk, run and
play when wearing her custom prosthetics and is a certified Therapy Dog.
Chi Chi has faced far too many medical issues for one dog during
her short life.
In addition to being a quadruple amputee, she has Lupus,
Hypothyroidism and has battled 3 types of cancer (Nasal Cancer, 4
Mast Cell Tumors, & Thyroid Cancer) and has side effects from
the cancer treatments.
The past several months have been very difficult medically for
Chi Chi and have resulted in our family seeking care from a variety
of specialists in order to provide her the best care possible. Our
family and the team of veterinarians helping to care for Chi Chi are
focused on giving her the best life possible. She remains happy and
smiling and we are committed to providing her the best care possible
as long as she continues to fight and maintain her incredible will
to live, despite the challenges she faces every day.
Our family has spent more than $20,000 on Chi Chi from
mid-August to mid-October 2018 on the following medical treatments:
Chi Chi has experienced significant inflammation in her brain
since mid-August, resulting in ongoing neurological care, 2 MRI’s,
bloodwork, medication and regular Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments in
order to manage the post radiation necrosis and edema in her brain.
She had her first seizure on 10/11/18 and started new medication and
treatment to help control and minimize the seizures.
She had another Mast Cell Tumor removed in September and also
spent 2 days in the emergency vet for gastroenteritis and elevated
liver enzymes. Chi Chi has lost all vision in her right eye and has
been experiencing other vision issues requiring the ongoing care of
an ophthalmologist.
Chi Chi has ongoing challenges associated with her amputations
and receives regular cold laser therapy to promote blood flow and
healing in her limbs and needs medications and treatments to manage
the sores she develops from wearing her prosthetics.
Chi Chi has an integrated treatment plan that includes both
traditional and holistic treatments. She has an internal medicine
veterinarian that helps manage her overall treatment plan. Chi Chi
takes a number of traditional and Chinese medications to manage her
medical conditions.
We are grateful for everyone who is able to donate to help with
Chi Chi’s medical costs.
Any donation amount is appreciated, and please only donate if
you are able to.
Chi Chi and our family wouldn’t want anyone to be in a
financial hardship because of donating to help with her medical care.
