JJ Update 6

Update posted by Mary Joy Gutierrez

As you can see from the photo above, JJ's gums are still paler than normal. We still have 27days medication for him to fully recover. We managed to buy his remaining medicines through other fundraising activities such as borrowing money from good people, and selling liptints for a cause.

JJ's also panting so much due to his anemia. He gained a little more weight because eating is his coping mechanism to fight this disease. We will undergo a weight loss management after his recovery.


We made him drink a herbal tea called tawa tawa, which is believed to increase the platelet of an anemic person. It is commonly used here in Philippines for patients with dengue. We consulted his veterinarian before this and she said it is okay to accompany his prescribed medicines with herbal or organic ones.

Save JJ's Life Fundraising

Diagnosis: Ehrlichiosis (Canine Dengue)

Jj's positive with Canine Dengue and is Anemic. His platelet is 39 only, while the normal platelet count must be atleast 200. He doesn't show any signs of this disease until it became clinical (his nose bleed, may also be the cause of his blindness). We've been struggling to find money in this trying times. Because of the pandemic, we only have limited funds, but we can't afford to lose our JJ. The estimated vet bills is more or less Php 15,000 (or almost $300 US) - includes blood transfusion fee if the prescribed medicines didn't work. In this humbling situation, I am asking for your prayers and support. 2020 is really a rough year.

Target: Php15,000.00 or Almost $300.00

For Confinement Fee, Medicine, Blood Transfusion, and other Veterinary Fees
