Several of you have lived with him. And, if you've ever been a guest in my home, he's probably bitten you / pissed on your belongings. Unfortunately, Iggy is very sick. Yesterday when I was walking Igloo Bear, he gave up and couldn't move. When I carried him in to my friends house his legs went out from under him and he became unresponsive. I wrapped him in a cool wet towel forced him to drink some water and called a car to the Brooklyn VERG (emergency veterinary hospital.) Doctors there informed me that he was in shock, there were fluids in his stomach, and he would likely go in to cardiac arrest. Iggy, being the strong little bear that he is, pulled through the initial tests until he was in stable (but critical) condition. I was then given the choice of spending every penny I had (and then some) on having Iggy formally admitted in to the hospital or take him home with me (where he would likely die within days.) Obviously, I picked the former. The estimated bill had a minimum and a maximum amount the minumum was $2,478.91. The maximum was $3,030.32. I've gotten three updates on him from the doctors today: 1. He needs to stay another night so they can intravenenously hyrdate and sedate him and make sure he continues eating. 2. More tests need to be run (bloodwork, uniranlysis, etc.) 3. I can come visit him (which is what I'm going to do when I finish typing this plea.) As of today Friday, June 2nd (bewteen rent and Iggy's treatment) my bank account was overdrawn by over $1600, meaning I have reached the $3,030.32 maximum limit. If I can't raise more funds Iggy will be discharged Sunday, whether he needs further treatment of not. This is the part where I plead for your help. I don't want my dog to die. He's been my best friend for 9 years and as most of you know, he is my world. If you've ever loved Iggy, napped with Iggy, played with Iggy, used him to pick up women, or had him bite you/piss on you; you know how much he loves, how much joy he brings in to the world, and how upset he gets when people try to leave (see: biting/pissing.) Just like Iggy, I don't want my friend to leave. Unfortunately, I can't bite or piss on anyone to keep my friend here. Thats where you come in, not with piss or biting, but by donating to Iggy Bear's Medical Expense Fund. With YOUR help, we can keep Iggy hospitalized, where he will be kep stable and comfortable until he is fit to come home and live a happy, healthy life. This is the part where this site asks me to tell you how thankful I will be for donations: Iggy is my world and I don't think I can even tell you how much your kindness means to me AND Iggy Bear. Please give what you can, share this link with anyone you can, and know that ALL donations, no matter the size, are INCREDIBLY appreciated. Thank you and love you all, Matty. https://www.gofundme.com/saveiggybear
