Vladimir’s Salivary Gland Removal

I am a young stay at home mother, and our sweet Vladimir needs his salivary gland removed. It is a surgery that requires a specialist as it is surrounded by nerves. He loves my 7 month old baby, and is our best friend. He is 4 years old and is sweet as pie. He is a Thailand Ridgeback, and it breaks my heart to see him like this. The side of his face has swollen the size of 3 golf balls! We have taken him to have it drained twice, and it just fills back up. Now its larger than it was before we had it drained! I don't know what to do, my husband is the only one who works, but we barely get by as I do not have a job. I have sold my two saxaphones to try and raise money for him, but that only ammounted to $200.

Please, even if all you can afford is $1 or $5 anything helps. Also, please send your prayers out for him. He is the kindest dog, and is gentle with the baby and the house cat. He would seriuosly not even hurt a fly. He has always been right by my side, and I know that if something was wrong with me he would be right there. Thank you so much for any help you can give!!
