Lilo & Claire

On behalf of Coastal High Flyers, we have set this up to help raise funds to support Claire and Lilo, who is currently hospitalised at SASH Tuggerah.

Lilo is a much loved part of the club since the very beginning of our club and has overcome a lot to be an incredibly reliable and vaulable part of our team.

Admitted to Coast and Valley Vets on Monday with abdominal discomfort, initially thought to be an obstruction or impaction, the vets xrayed and could not find an answer, on Tuesday morning was vomitting so another set of xrays and was moved to SASH that afternoon as her blood was not clotting and vomitting and pooing mucus. Vets began treating as a bait ingestion situation, treating with vitamin K and plasma transfusion.

Ruled out rat bait as Lilo's liver began shutting down.

Currently Wednesday and Lilo was stable over night, but still going downhill today. At this stage Lilo is looking to be hospitalised for at least another week and is on to her 2nd(maybe) plasma transfusion.

Some more blood tests due in house tomorrow.

We all know how costly emergency and long stay vet bills can be and those who know Claire know how important Lilo is to her and everyone who gets the chance to know Lilo would agree.

The bill is currently looking to be at its highest end $16K, with prior vet bills before heading to SASH too. Claire is lucky to hold pet insurance but this won’t cover everything and with expenses likely to rise above $16K she’s still looking at a reasonable expense even with her pet insurance.
