Help Remi the Sphynx

Donation protected
I am not the kind of person to typically ask for help. I have been fighting to save Remi since last Wednesday. He was perfectly healthy and suddenly had a seizure like event. I rushed him to an ER doc immediately and they suggested I take him to a neurologist. We then took him to a neurologist in Richmond where he was diagnosed with significant swelling in the cerebellum. He was at neuro for two days and we believed that all would be well. When we got him home I noted that his respiratory rate was double what it should be and that his gums were white. I rushed him back to the ER doctor in Suffolk where they found significant fluid in his belly and lungs. He is currently waiting for an analysis of the fluid in his belly to get a more specific diagnosis. I have been trying to handle all of this on my own without asking for help but have reached the point where I am running low on funds. I have maxed cards to save him and taken time off of work. He is my therapy animal, he sleeps with me all night every night and has brought me so much comfort. After fighting so hard to help save him, I could not live with myself if I didn't overcome my pride and ask for help. I am hoping to keep him hospitalized until Tuesday. At that time I hope that I am hoping that another treatment will arrive which will save Remi. I just need to keep him in an oxygen tank until then as the fluid in his lungs and belly are making it incredibly difficult for him to breathe. The oxygen tank and overnight stays for the last two days are where I have officially run out of credit card money to save him. I have put on a balance of about 15k at this point and I do not want to give up yet. Any help is appreciated and I will definitely pay it forward. I will not use anything to pay off my credit cards this is in case he needs another couple days at the er. If not, I can pay it forward or refund the money.  Thank you.
