This Dog Has A Very Rare Blood Clotting Disorder And Her Owner Is Hoping To Raise Enough Money To Get Her Treated
Orlando, Florida. Our beloved special companions mean to the world to us, which is why, as pet owners, we often go the extra mile just for them.
In some cases, we can only go so far, especially when it comes to their medical bills.
Whether you are a human or an animal in need, medical bills can be pretty expensive. Thankfully, there are ways to reach out to your community and ask for help when you truly need it!
Honey, a doodle, is very sick and needs our help. She has recently been diagnosed with a rare blood clotting disorder that has caused no platelets or white blood cells.
When Honey started showing red and black bruising all over her body, her owner knew something was terribly wrong. Honey was bleeding internally.
Blood was filling up in her lungs, which led to an emergency blood transfusion.
While the treatment for Honey’s disorder is not easy, her parents are doing everything they can to ensure that she gets the best treatments possible.
They started a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising money for a portion of Honey’s medical bills. So far, they have raised $3,245!

Jillaine Henry, Honey’s owner, gave us an update on March 10th.
“They started the increased steroids and immunosuppressant meds yesterday and her platelets have gone up from 10,000 to around 35,000-40,000. Still low but Vet says they are breathing better about this and are not as worried about spontaneous bleeding.”
The bruising around her belly has also cleared up tremendously!
“Honey’s white blood cell count is still dropping (hence suspicion of bone marrow producing issues) so they are starting her on a chemo drug as well. She does not have cancer though!”
Overall, Honey has no signs of additional bleeding, no fever, and is back to eating her food like normal!
Honey has kept up her spirits throughout this process and is just as playful as ever!
While things are looking up for Honey and her family, the road to recovery is never an easy one. Her family appreciates your love and support!
Jillaine says it best, “We just have to keep praying, manifesting, and sending all of the good vibes to Miss Doodle.”
