Robert D. KiefertHeidi Christina Hausmann update 3/8/14: Nakoya has a mass attached to her rib-cage, we do not know if it is on the inside of the rib-cage as well as the outside, we do know it is not a fatty deposit. Nakoya requires two surgeries, one to do a biopsy and hystopath to determine what the mass is and then a second to remove, the first vet i saw will do the first surgery and lab tests/biopsy for approximately 200.00, and the second surgery for approximately 100.00 as long as it is an easy removal, if it requires removal from both sides of the rib-cage it will be more, and xrays for 150.00. received two other quotes and both others are 500 to 600 just for the exploratory surgery and biopsy, not including removal. the appointment for the exploratory surgery/biopsy is March 21st. because of the highly possible additional cost of removing something from the inside of the rib-cage, and any medications, and prescriptions, and also that GoFundMe takes a percentage of all funds received , we are asking for a total of 1000.00, If any funds are left over they will be distributed evenly between all non-anonymous donors, unless donor wishes money be kept at veterinarians office for future care of this Medical Service Dog for Robert Kiefert, donations can also be sent to: PayPal: badger_at_inteltec@yahoo or directly to vet at: C/O Dr. Jim McMinn Cabool Veterinary Clinic 920 Highway 63, Cabool, MO 65689 (417) 962-4223 Thank You! gofundme/7douk8
