Description

This is a special online fundraiser for Save Brindi members who are willing and able to help pay for Brindi's vet in Nova Scotia to do an ultrasound and biopsy on her. The tests are being scheduled for the end of this month, around Jan. 23-25.

Dr. Larkin has been monitoring Brindi's health while in custody, at the request of her companion and lawful owner, Francesca Rogier.

Based on recent examinations of Brindi, Dr. Larkin has become worried that Brindi might have pancreatic cancer or some other serious condition.

THE TARGET GOAL:

The cost of these tests could be as much as $1500, based on the estimate drawn up by the vet today. Minimum cost is $700.

There is no treatment for pancreatic cancer. It is vital to have a diagnosis as soon as possible. The ultrasound and the biopsy are needed to make a proper diagnosis. Francesca is already struggling to keep afloat financially, as she is not permitted to work in Canada. For over a year, she has been borrowing money to cover the bills.

With your generous help, we plan to raise the money needed to pay for Brindi's tests. This money will only go to the vet's fees. Danielle Parsons has volunteered to keep track of donations and get a copy of the receipts from the vet clinic for verification.


HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:

Two ways: 1. Donate from anywhere via paypal, or 2. If you live in Nova Scotia, you may buy a raffle ticket!

BACKGROUND
During the two years Halifax impounded Brindi, she contracted serious chronic illnesses that are traceable to lack of proper care.* Pancreatitis is one of them.

Brindi was hospitalized several times for symptoms of pancreatitis - diarrhea and vomiting - in late 2009. Though since Sept. 2010, the city has been cooperating with the vet so that Brindi's health could be monitored, it has refused to turn over complete health records.

In the last few months of 2011, the vet has seen indications of increased pancreatic enzymes, but according to the poundkeeper she has not been showing symptoms of pancreatitis.


*(Note: This is an account in Francesca's name. She opened it for the sole purpose of donations for legal costs. Paypal keeps a record of all transactions.)

**Brindi's teeth and gums developed dental disease, which can cause staph infections that attack organs and can cause sudden death. Francesca tried to prevent this from happening from day one, by regularly bringing fresh beef bones to the shelter. Unbeknownst to her, they did not give them to Brindi. """""""""
