Lucky vs. Hemangiosarcoma
Last May our beloved 12-year-old Lucky went into the vet after acting strangely for weeks. We received the worst news when she was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma. She required immediate emergency surgery to remove her hemorrhaging spleen and even after that her prognosis was 4 months. Her cancer was coupled with stage 3 kidney disease. We managed her health by cooking her meals twice a day with a dozen supplements added and monitoring her bloodwork monthly. When people would visit they could not believe she was even ill. She made it until her 13th birthday in January before she started showing signs of illness again, so much further than her original prognosis. She was showing serious signs of illness yet we went to a handful of doctors and none were able to pin it down. One Saturday morning I woke up and looked at Lucky to see her gums were completely pale white. We went to the emergency vet to find she was internally bleeding-and quite badly. We were referred to another vet down the road to perform an ultrasound which confirmed our fears, the cancer was back and her liver was hemorrhaging. There was one last Hail Mary if we could swing it. Blue Pearl had a surgeon that could perform this operation and possibly save her. We drove her to the facility, they performed the surgery and two weeks later she went swimming in our pool. I can say, without a doubt that without Healthy Paws we would not have been able to do this for her. I never received a single denied claim, only amazing customer service and quick turnaround. We received reimbursement within 2 weeks for every single claim. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone reading this, they are an amazing company that truly loves pets
