Our sweet Remi is only seven months old, but she's already stolen our hearts with her gentle cuddles and incredibly smart personality. As a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, she should be enjoying her meals without any trouble, but instead she's struggling to eat because of something called retained puppy teeth. Five of her baby teeth on the top front never fell out like they should have, and now they're causing her real discomfort.

Our veterinarian has recommended extraction surgery to pull these retained teeth so Remi can eat properly and avoid further complications. The procedure will cost approximately $10,000, which honestly wasn't something we were prepared for financially. The stress has been overwhelming for our family.

I've only had Remi for seven months, but she's brought so much joy into our lives. Every cuddle, every sweet moment with her reminds me why we need to help her through this. She's such a loving, smart little girl who deserves to live pain-free and enjoy her puppyhood. Any help toward her dental surgery would mean the world to us and give Remi the healthy, happy life she deserves.
