Story
I am trying to raise money to support a recently widowed man afford the medication to look after and keep his late wife's dog alive. Sheba has EPI Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is the inability to properly digest food due to a lack of digestive enzymes made by the pancreas. symptoms include weight loss, poor hair coat, flatulence, increased appetite, coprophagia, and diarrhea. The medication used to treat Sheba's condition is called Chemeyes pancreatic enzyme powder, it can be purchased easily without prescription off the internet. But a months supply is almost £65. This is a whole weeks money for this widower. He is unable to work at present due to ill health, he also is being hit with bedroom tax. He struggles to feed himself never mind pay his bills. He has used his yearly trips to the food bank. If we can raise just a little to help pay for Sheba's medication and vet bills it would be a weight off his shoulders. Many of you may think why not rehome the dog? Have you tried rehoming such a sick expensive animal? Also Sheba is the apple of the wife's eye therefore cannot bare to let her go.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story

I've donated but this is the reason it's paramount for people to take out insurance if they have a pet. As I well know as my 15 month old dog has just had to have a total hip replacement at £4,300.
