Pepé Is a 9 month old sweetheart who recently became very ill. The cause of his illness was diagnosed as an unusually large intrahepatic liver shunt, which is a birth defect affecting less than 1% of all dogs. Essentially, Pepe’s portal vein that carries the byproducts of his protein digestion from his small intestine to his liver for processing has an extra vein (shunt) that is diverting much of this digested protein material around the liver and dumping it directly into his blood stream without proper filtration. This is what was making him feel so sick, so our vet put him on some medications that helped Pepe’ feel much better right away. These medications, however, can only provide a temporary fix due to their toxic effect on the liver and dogs only survive 9 months on average with only this approach.

Fortunately, Pepe’ can be fixed permanently with an innovative surgical procedure pioneered by veterinarian surgeon, Dr. Bill Culp, who is the leading authority in the U.S on Pepe’s condition and happens to practice just a few hours away from us at the UC Davis veterinarian hospital. We communicated with him and he is available to perform the surgery on Pepe very soon. This surgery will cost between $9,000.00 and $11,000.00. My fiancé (we’re getting married this June 22) is a new high school teacher and I am still completing my teacher’s certification hours, so I won’t be able to start work as a teacher until next year. This expense is far beyond our financial capacity right now, but we are determined to help Pepe’ get this life saving surgery. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Pepe’ and for any help that you feel you want to offer him.

Latest Update

A perfect bill of health! Thank you so much Dr. Culp and Dr. Min-Jee for saving Pepés life and to all the technicians who watched over him these past 3 days. Every person we talked to commented on what a good boy Pepé was and that his surgery and recovery was the best they've ever seen! Idk how many times they experience hiccups during this procedure, but they were all so excited to tell us how perfectly it went. Good boy Pepé! 😄🐶🐾 Thank you everyone who made this possible! Pepé will be able to grow up a normal and healthy pup thanks to all of you, and if you've met him before you know he'd give you 1,000 kisses to show his appreciation. I'll keep you all updated on his recovery so keep an eye out posts on FB and Instagram @pepe_le_pupp Love forever and ever Kaylin, Jeff, and Pepé 🐾

Consultation is done! Pepé will be receiving a CT scan tomorrow, then his surgery is Wednesday afternoon. We were told some pretty scary risks, but Dr. Culp said he personally has only has 2 or 3 dogs ever have serious side effects out of the 100's he's treated. Our CT scan and MRI will also be paid for by an ongoing study the college is doing, so we saved over $2000!!! If we didn't get Pepé this surgery, the Dr. Said the average life span of an animal is ~10 months after showing serious signs, and Pepé showed signs 2.5 months ago 😟 so everything is looking good so far and we will keep you all updated! ♥️🐾🐶
