Man Slept In His Car And Was Willing To Sell His House To Save His Dog: “I Didn't Quit”

Jaxon Feeley found himself faced with a staggering medical bill, exceeding $25,000, for his dog, Rambo's treatment. However, his love for his canine companion knew no bounds.

In the United Kingdom, a man was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to ensure the well-being of his beloved dog. Jaxon Feeley was confronted with a dire situation when his 2-year-old Weimaraner, Rambo, fell into hypovolemic shock. After urgent medical intervention, the veterinary bills to save Rambo's life amounted to approximately $25,000 (£20,000).

Rambo's health took a severe hit as he also developed gastroenteritis, necessitating a 10-day stay in intensive care. Faced with the daunting bill, Feeley contemplated selling his own home to cover the expenses and keep Rambo alive.

In response, Jaxon set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for Rambo's treatment. Initially, the target was set at $12,000, but the campaign exceeded all expectations, reaching over $20,000.

Feeley explained on the fundraising platform that Rambo's insurance covered nearly $8,000, but the bill soared to nearly $14,000 after a week of intensive care. He also noted that Rambo's daily intensive care costs amounted to about $1,200.

Rambo's condition took a grim turn, with complications including vomiting, fluid in the lungs, and a lung collapse. Determined to give his pet the best chance at recovery, Feeley refused to leave the clinic, sleeping in his car to ensure he was always nearby.

Fortunately, thanks to the support of over 1,000 generous donors, Feeley surpassed his fundraising goal. He updated the campaign with the news of Rambo's miraculous progress. The dog's oxygen levels improved, he started eating and drinking, and his lungs began a slow but steady recovery, revealing his vibrant personality once again.

Despite the ongoing need for 24/7 observation and a significant medication regimen, Feeley expressed his relief at being able to bring Rambo back home, stating that he could never have abandoned his beloved companion. He expressed his profound gratitude to the donors who made Rambo's recovery possible, emphasizing that he would stop at nothing to save his dog. From the Feeley family and their dogs, Rambo and Rocky, heartfelt thanks were extended to all who contributed to their cause.
