Emergency Vet Funds for Bandit
Donation protected
Hi all, I am making a GoFundMe to help in paying for my cat Bandit's emergency vet bills. He is a 4 year old Medium haired Tuxedo cat who I have raised since he was a kitten, and he has been a healthy kitty for all of his life up until this point. Very quickly within the past 24 hours he started showing obvious symptoms of a UTI, and last night around 6 pm he started really struggling to urinate and what he did get out was bloody. He was acting very irritable and was not interested in his dinner or his water either, and very much looked to be in pain.
First thing this morning I was able to get him into the Pet Emergency Room where they were able to get him seen fairly quickly. They determined that it was not a UTI but a blockage of his urinary tract, which is something unfortunately incredibly common for young male cats. Additionally, due to the blockage his potassium levels were dangerously high early today when I brought him in, I have received an update since that he is unblocked but they are monitoring his potassium levels.
The estimate for his full care as given to me by the vet was around $3300, possibly more as the blockage and potassium medication/tests are going to be more.
Every cent of this GoFundMe will be put towards Bandit's medical bills and any after care supplies he may need (i.e. take-home mediations).
The fact of the matter is that I live paycheck to paycheck and with the pandemic and the economy the way it has been these past months, I am struggling to put the funds together myself while keeping the roof over my head.
Even $1 towards our goal will help immensely in getting my boy the care he needs, and if you're not able to donate a share goes a really long way. If you are able to donate, then I thank you so much in advance, you are directly helping to save my baby boy.
