Story
Chef Hugo is the cheeky frenchie behind Hugo's Pawtisserie Doggy Bakery/ Loved by all, he is a little doggo with a big character (and bigger voice) and somewhat of a local celebrity.
You may have noticed Hugo sporting some questionable jumpers lately, despite it being 34 degrees on a cool day! Well, unfortunately its not for Fashion purposes darling, though of course Hugo does look super stylish!
Recently, poor Hugo has developed Extensive Calcinosis Cutis - the accumulation of calcium salt crystals in his body. These deposits are causing him to lose fur and develop sore ulcerated lesions, all over his body and he has been fighting off bacterial infections, as a result.
On top of this, after lots of tests, Veterinary experts now believe that Hugo has a Tumor on his Pituatary Gland, and that the growth of this tumor is causing an over production of cortisone in Hugo’s body, and has lead to the development of Cushings Disease.
Sadly, due to it's location in the brain, the Tumor remains inoperable. However treatment of Cushings Disease is possible to make Hugo more comfortable.
Getting a Diagnosis of this condition has been a complicated and lengthy process, and we will soon surpass the limit for Insurance Cover. Therefore, for the time being Hugo’s Pawtisserie will be fundraising, and welcoming donations in place of payment, for Treats and Cakes.
With your help, we hope Hugo will continue to live his best life, for as long as possible.
£10 could buy saline to clean Hugo's wounds. £30 could buy a special shampoo to help his itchy skin. £63 will pay for around 1 month's worth of DMSO Gel to treat his skin. £83 will pay for around 1 month's worth of Chemotherapy to treat Cushing's Disease. £131 will pay for around 1 month's worth of antibiotics to help prevent infection inside his skin.
Thank you for your support, love and understanding at this difficult time.
Lots of love, Hugo and his family <3
Please note that Just Giving will deduct 2.9% + 25p from every donation, so when paying for Cakes and treats please consider adjusting your donation accordingly: £3 (Bag of treats) - £3.34 / £20 (Cake) - £20.45 etc

2 years agoHappy new year friends! It’s middle of January now, and mummy said I should update you all on how well I’m doing! I have lots of energy and am being playful puppo. My skin is still itchy and I do like a good scratch (mummy says this is naughty) so have to keep wearing my special tops when mummy isn’t looking. But I’m tolerating my medications well, eating lots and sleeping even more. Am good boy. Thank you to everyone for your support and love, as we enter 2023! 💕

2 years agoSome days it’s easy to get weighed down in the demands of Hugo’s care, but a quick flick through my phone and I’m reminded of how strong he is. Hugo, my brave little warrior is fighting hard, all things considered, he’s doing so well. This year he taught us so much about resilience. When you’re surrounded by love, you can overcome life’s challenges. He’s shown us the importance of enjoying little things, like a simple walk, a cuddle and a tasty treat. Thank you everyone who has contributed to Hugo’s progress, I will forever be grateful 🥹

Hugo is the cheeky boy behind Hugo's Pawtisserie Doggy Bakery. Unfortunately Hugo's veterinary care will surpass the maximum level of insurance cover. For the time being, we will be fundraising and accepting donations in place of payment for cakes and treats orders.
