Artemis Needs Urgent Pyometra Surgery

Artemis is this cute female dog, she is in need of emergency care or she will die. We are unable to find the money, only you can help us save her.

Hello, my name is George, I am 19 years old and currently studying IT in the greek university of business and economics.  You have probably heard something on the news or talking with others about how bad the economy is in greece, things are really depressing here. My father is the only one that has a job and we live by whatever he makes, which is barely enough to pay bills, food and fuel for the car, sometimes it's not and we rely on my grandmother to pay stuff for us. Unfortunately at a time like this, my best friend Artemis is in need of urgent medical assistance, something we cannot provide

It all started in October 2012, our dog was bleeding, discharging pus and had bad fevers. We took it to a vet and she told us she needed a surgery for pyometra, and that could only happen in a pet hospital. We took it to one and they told us they can do it for 300 euros. It was impossible for us to pay that money then so we took an alternative, we bought Vibramycin and some cortizones and did a vitamin inection. That helped her for a while, but it didn't do much to cure her, we hoped that during that time my mom could find a job and we can pay for surgery but it is now the end of February and we haven't had any hopes of putting any money aside due to taxes and bills, you are our last hope.

I grew up with this dog, we didn't buy it or got it from someone, we picked it up from the road when she was just 2 months old, their mother was a stray who had given birth to some puppies during the winter, they had no chance of surviving in the cold so my family, my cousin's family and some other people decided to each adopt one. We wanted to give her the chance to live cause we couldn't let her die, in fact, she chose us and came to our hug and that's when we took her from her mother. This was about 8 years ago. During that time we took her to multiple vets for vaccines and the occassional checkup but nobody ever told us we should sterilize her, it took us all by surprise.

This is the story up till now, the past and present. However I don't know if there will be a future, that depends solely on you. I don't want her to die, but I just can't help her in our condition. She is in constant pain and it breaks my heart just seeing her because I remember how she was when she was healthy and she was jumping on the sofas and eating my stuffed animals and my socks, now she can barely walk and doesn't have an appetite. Please help us, I don't want to lose her to this, anything you can give would be great, it adds up so even if just a little bit, it may end up saving her life.

Thank you for reading this.

George.
