This is a GoFundMe for my baby Griffin He is 18 month old Yorkie born with cleft palette He was tube fed until he turned 4 months old. As he got older he graduated to drinking out of a rabbit water and eating hard dog food but as he got a bit older he started getting sinus infections really bad to the point where he had pus in his sinuses and it was very painful for him. We finally found a vet that that would do his cleft surgery. It took the vet three times to get it to close. Griffin continued to have sinus infections for a couple months after. Then he stopped having infections. We decided to adopt a couple new dogs everyone fit in beautifully and then a month later they attacked Griffen to the point of death. We took care of the situation with the two new dogs and they were euthanized unfortunately we could not rehome them because I would never want to put anyone else through what I am going through now. I rushed Griffin to the emergency vet in Brewer Maine He was lifeless and could not walk. They placed drains in him that had to be removed in a few days. When I took him to the vet they sedated him to remove the drains and found that he was septic and had necrotic tissue throughout his stomach and under his armpits and legs. They recommended that I bring him to Scarborough Maine to have a blood transfusion because all of his white blood cells and red blood cells were gone. I drove him 3 hours to the Scarborough emergency vet and they estimated his care the low end 10,000 in high end is almost 17,000. I was alone and heartbroken Griffin is like my son I've never had a bond with a little dog like him He is my world and the love of my life. My option was to give them the $8,300 deposit or have him euthanized. I set in a room holding him wondering what to do crying. We decided to have an euthanize because The vet bills were astronomical. So I paid for his cremation and euthanization and set with him in the room holding him in the lady said to hit the call button when I was ready. One of my friends sent a comment on Facebook and told me to just take him home. She said this last minute right before I was going to hit that button to have Griffin put down. I hit the button but I also told the vet tech I'm taking him home. They pleaded with me and told me I was cruel to bring him home. They recommended that I had him euthanized right there they were mad at me but I didn't care I brought Griffin home that night and gave him iron pills. I syringed food into him just to get him through into the next day. My friend messaged me and told me to call these event and she said she would pay for it. I am so thankful that I did because when we brought Griffin in they didn't think he was in his bad shape as they said in Scarborough. Even his blood was up from the day before! Although all the muscles are exposed in his legs because of the necrotic tissue that keeps slothing off. They gave him IV fluids and iv antibiotics 2 days in a row. Since then I have taken him to the vet everyday for the past 11 days. He's continuing to get better and better we just have to make sure we go to the vet every single day. I'm financially drained but my baby's still alive He's even wagging his tail and barking when his daddy comes through the door! Griffin is a miracle and such a blessing to our family we love him so much. If you want to be a part in his recovery please help us out. He has to be sedated to have his dressings cleaned it's very painful for him so we want to keep it as less painful as possible. 2 to $300 a day is a lot of money but if I have some awesome people chip in it won't be so bad. Griffin is well known in my town especially at Dunkin' donuts. Instead of him getting a munchkin they give him bacon. He also does this cute little thing where you say hey Griffey and he shows his teeth and smiles. He's that type of dog that you could bring him anywhere and he's just the bestest boy. We bring him the Bible study and he just sits on my lap and sleeps until it's done. He's like the service dog that never had to be trained. Very special boy I believe God wants him alive or he wouldn't have lived that day. Something else that is really strange is a few days before the attack Griffin's collar fell off I found it on the floor. I ended up just setting it up on my dresser. after this all happened I realized if he would have been wearing that collar I really don't think he would have made it through this I really think they would have pulled at it and it probably would have killed him.
