I am writing you a request for help. Our Beagle Sniffy has tested positive for cancer in a lump from our regular Veterinarian Dr. Pierce at Leesville animal hospital ( 919-870-7000). He has referred us to the North Carolina State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (919-513-6690) in Raleigh, NC and we have an appointment at 11:00 am on Wednesday morning the 9th of April with their Oncology department. The appointment is to set up treatment besides do a few tests. The amount of testing may actually end up cheaper than they have quoted me. But the appointment itself costs $160, the tests they say could be $700 - 900 and possible c-t scan of 600. We have already spent our savings and March's bill money on blood/chem/urine/xray/needle aspirate tests with Dr. Pierce. So I am hoping the cost will be several hundred lower. I am able to still do a little but it is tough being a single mom with a five year old daughter who also needs my care. I am requesting your kind consideration in financial help for our Wednesday appointment. Any help is good help.
I also want to mention that I am trying to sell our Ford escort wagon for $1200 and am advertising it in the herald sun newspaper. It has a book value of $2200, gets great gas mileage, has 130,000 miles on it, only needs a bolt and a clamp, has 4 doors. I am willing to donate for free to any group that helps with the appointment costs on Wednesday. The chemo-treatment could be as soon as this week and NCSU has quoted approximate cost of 100 to hundreds for it. I also want to say I have enrolled Sniffy in pet insurance previous to our knowledge of the cancer but the waiting period has overlapped with that knowledge so this appointment is not covered but in the future all other medical expenses and wellness is covered. Without this medical treatment Sniffy will die.

Thank you, please contact me with any help or ideas or questions,
