Joe Exotic Needs Surgery
Donation protected
My name is Jillian Keith this message is from Phil:
I have never and I mean never asked for prayers from social media.. I spend my life making jokes and shooting pictures. Trying to make dreams come true for people that deserve it..
My poor Joe Exotic is in poor health and was rushed to the animal hospital.. the bill as you can see is something that I just don’t have at the moment.. I’ve asked a very good friend to help but I’m worried it won’t be enough.. I’m not asking for money from anyone.. I’m asking for prayers and please whatever people do for good luck..
If anyone wants to financially help I wouldn’t say no.. but I won’t and don’t expect it.. but MORE than appreciated
Sorry to make this long but I’m sitting at an animal hospital with my head in my hands.. I’m not a god fearing man but please god make Joe pull through.. he has a long life ahead of him..
Joe Exotic has developed stones and crystals in his bladder. Male cats have an extremely small urethra. It is very common for those crystals to travel down into the urethra and create a blockage which makes it impossible for him to urinate. When kitties can't urinate, it is an emergency and fatal if left untreated! Treatment includes sedation in order to pass a urinary catheter which will need to stay in for a few days to ensure he will not reblock. The good news? The surgery is typically very successful and with a life long prescription food that is designed to lower urine ph and dissolve future crystals, the kitties do great and no future treatment is typically necessary. The initial procedure is the big hump that we need to get past. He is only 3 and has a long life ahead of him! Any help would be appreciated as my animals are my children!
