Helping Noodle
Donation protected
When we got Noodle, we found him and 3 of his sisters on my birthday. They were outside at two weeks old all alone. I spent all my time outside of work caring for these tiny kittens. We kept Noodle and one of his sisters, Marlyn and found loving homes for the other two. It was a lot of work but after watching them grow up, it was all worth it and I'd do it again in a heart beat. They are 3 years old now and both have such amazing personalities.
The reason I'm starting a GoFundMe for Noodle is: Noodle had a blockage in his urethra. He masked his UTI so well that it got so bad it blocked him completely for a day or even longer. When we came down stairs Thursday, he was laying with his face in the water dish. We thought he drown. Everytime we moved him, he went right back. We took him to the emergency vet. He had a UTI, a lot of crystals and the blockage. We were given the ultimatum of paying $2,110.37 right now or put him down... He had high levels that could affect his heart, and kidneys. So he needed to have a catheter put in and be put on fluids.
We agreed to pay and get him help. He was supposed to stay for two nights and everything should be okay by then. We got to go in and see him after two nights and he was up and walking around, which was amazing to see, but it wasn't all good news. He was still bleeding and his kidney values hadn't come down, so he may have been facing kidney failure. He had to stay another night and we would find out the next day how things look. It was a hard night for us.
Noodles been there for 3 nights now, and after talking to the vet things look much brighter. His kidney values have come back to normal, so the scariest part was done. The only problem now is he is still bleeding. So they want to keep the catheter in for another night rather then risk taking it out and risking a blood clot and him being blocked again. As of now he has to stay till Monday, meaning a 4th night. Noodle's doing better but still need to be monitored or a blood clot could bring us back to square one. And the bill is rising fast..
By tomorrow, and hopefully it's his last day, the bill will be around $4,500. I was hoping I wouldn't have to make a GoFundMe but me and Noodle could really use your help. Please help me save my baby.. I can't stand spending another night without my cuddle buddy always being at my side but if it means I get to spend many more nights with him, I'm going to need help..
