My name is Maja and I am three. All I wanted for Christmas this year was love, safety and help to grow well again. B.O.N.E.S. provided it a few days before Christmas.

I have had severe seizures for the past year, sometimes three a month. Unfortunately, I have had no medical care for over two years because my family could not afford to take me to the vet but they wanted to help me. In addition, in my first home I was treated roughly and become very scared and anxious at times.

My foster family has given me a safe place to recover and my medical issues are being addressed. However, my medical bills have already been over $2,000.00 and I will need more treatment, perhaps even an MRI. Could you please help with some of my medical expenses?

Everyone who meets me instantly falls in love because I am such a sweet and lovely girl. I just know I will make a wonderful addition to a very special family someday with your help.

UPDATE (1/26/2013)
Maja continues to do well in her foster home. She has had a few break through seizures, but they seem to be less intense then the initial seizures. Her neurologist has adjusted some of her medication to see if the increase will help keep any break through seizures to a minimal. Maja is not out of the woods yet. This is a long process of trial medications with routine blood work to check organ function and to make sure the medication is at therapeutic levels. Maja is still that sweet beagle girl that continues to win hearts and friends every where she goes. A big arrroooo to everyone that has donated to Maja's medical care.

UPDATE (3/07/2013)
Maja is making progress with some social skills, house training and is a smart girl - learning how to sit, come, master her favorite toy - her busy ball filled with chopped carrots. She has learned to walk nicely on her lead and loves her daily walk, fascinated by every new thing she sees.

Maja's medical issues continue. Maja is not out of the woods yet. We are still working with medications to control the seizures with mixed results. Maja is having an MRI to rule out any other neurological issues. We continue to work with a Board Certified Neurologist for medical guidance. Please keep Maja in your thoughts and prayers.

UPDATE (3/26/2013)
Maja had some set backs with her seizures but is doing great again.

Mass Vet Referral Hospital in Woburn MA did a MRI study of her brain and it came back normal. (Or as normal as a beagle can be!). They also did her spay, hoping that reducing the hormone changes might help. Her meds were also adjusted. That seems like a lot for a little girl but she came through with flying colors. Something seems to be working as the seizures have taken a break.

So, please keep Maja in your thoughts as she continues to get better and works toward finding her forever home. Thank you for all your help.
