Rocky’s fight to be able to open his mouth

UPDATE Rocky has had his surgery. Before surgery he could only open his mouth 1 millimeter, post-surgery he can open it 1.5 centimeters. The surgeon removed his cheek bone that had fused to his jawbone, and some scar tissue. The surgical team was unable to traditionally intubate him but instead did something called a retrograde intubation. As a result, he has 2 incisions on his neck, plus the incision on his cheek. Lots of pain, but he’s on 3 pain meds to help manage his pain. Thank you all for your continued support of this little fighter ❤️

I am raising money to benefit Precious Paws & Friends, and a tiny kitten named Rocky Boo Boo. Any donations made will go toward helping to save his life. He is currently fighting for his life at an emergency vet. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Rocky Boo Boo came into my rescue at only a few days old. He had several puncture wounds, 2 of which were located under his chin. Even with his injuries, this sweet boy was able to latch onto the bottle, and over the next 2 months I bottle fed him and he grew to be a healthy happy adorable little kitten. The injuries he suffered caused his lower jaw to grow a quarter of the size it should be, giving him an adorable overbite. Unfortunately, as he continues to grow, his teeth are starting to come in crooked, and his jaw is growing asymmetrical (one side shorter than the other). The short explanation is that his crooked teeth are causing him to bite his tongue, and causing lacerations on the roof of his mouth, sides of his mouth, all of which are causing blood loss. He has lost 86% of his blood and currently at an emergency vet fighting for his life. I have had his blood type done and have blood standing by should he need a blood transfusion. Rocky needs our help more than ever. If you can help save his life, I would be ever so grateful.
