Hello my name is Lilly, I'm the furry cute one on the left and that's Missy with me. She is my best friend and sister, we do everything together. She says that I am very sweet and so much fun to be around but lately I haven't been myself. I have had a serious middle ear infection for some time now and it's not getting any better. The inside of my ear is so swollen that my family can't get any medicine into it or even clean it. Not only does it make me uncomfortable all the time but unlike regular ear infections it is very painful. While I was at my doctors office the last time they told my family I would need a culture done soon which is going to cost around $250, which is a lot of money for them right now. After the culture comes back they are hoping it will tell them exactly what bacteria it is that's infecting my ear, if it does then they are going to attack the bacteria with a special medicine that will be made specifically to fight that exact kind of bacteria. I can't even imagine how much that will cost my family. If the medicine doesn't work though I will have to be put under anesthesia and undergo a surgical procedure to remove the ear canal in my ear. They told my mom that if my ear doesn't get better soon I will lose my hearing and start to have neurological issues and that scars me more than the idea of surgery and makes my family very sad. I can't even imagine what all that will cost but I know it won't be cheap but my mom is determined to do whatever it takes to help me and get me better. She is such a good mom and loves me so much, I sleep with her every night and she cuddles me and wakes me up with kisses on my head and belly rubs. It's awesome and I love it! Me and my family need your help, I know you may not know me or my family but they are a great family and I am good dog dog, at least that's what my family always says. It doesn't have to be much, every penny would be a blessing to us. I know my family is hurting right now seeing me like this and not knowing how to find the money to pay for this but I have faith that there are good families out there that will find it in their hearts to help us. Even though I am terrified about everything that is happening right now and in pain I still have hope that it will work out. Even if you don't donate please pray for me and my family during this time please. Thank you for reading this and giving me your time and I hope I've touched someone that is willing to help me and my family.
Sincerely,
Lilly Bug
p.s. That's what my family calls me!
