Meet Nova, our 5 month old Shiba inu puppy who is the light of our life and beautiful funny cheeky little girl beloved by all who has the pleasure of meeting her.
Nova recently became poorly with a very rare condition.
We noticed she was becoming tired doing normal activities, progressing to barely moving and struggled to breath. We rush her to the vet immediately!
They processed to do testing and found a large mass of liquid in her chest cavity.
The vets drained 16 ounces and we where rushed up to the nearest pet hospital. Nova had another 10 ounces drained in the night whilst having an emergency CT scan. Nova was given pain medication and came home for a night and was put on emergency referral to see a surgeon.
We took Nova to the surgery team at midday the following day where she began to stop breathing and needed to be in an oxygen tank for 2 hours.
Nova has been in intensive care now for 4 nights, has had to have 2 tubes installed into her sides to drain the chest cavity every 4 hours (100ml at a time) and her only option is to have a very special surgery on her lymphatic system.
This surgery has 3 different procedures in one, this will affect her heart, lymphatic system and her lungs.
We love our little girl and miss her so much. We also have her sister (Eevee a 5 month old shiba inu puppy) who has never spent a day without her sister and now pines for her return. All we want is Nova home and back together with Eevee. Obviously with specialist surgery and being in the intensive care unit now for so long Nova's vet bills have excessed our insurance by a significant amount and we are now struggling to pay them. As a teacher and mechanic we work around the clock and support our puppies in every possible way.
We adore our babies and would just like our little family to be reunited.
