Donate to help Crispin get his ear polyp removed
Donation protected
Hi! I adopted this sweet boy, Crispin at My Furry Valentine about three weeks ago. I had no intention whatsoever to adopt a cat as I was just volunteering in a booth. A coworker had asked me to grab a picture of a cat she was interested in. While looking for this particular cat, I laid eyes on Crispin, and the rest is history. Our names are only one letter apart, it was destiny! Fast forward an amazing 3 weeks of bonding with his new furry siblings.
On a random trip to my work to see his aunties, he was found to have a head tilt. After finding a severe ear infection, which is filled with so much fluid, his doctors were unable to see his ear drum. He was then sedated for a more thorough exam in which my Crispy boy was found to have an ear polyp. He has had this for a while, well before I adopted him. Overtime, Polyps can vary in size and cause infections, balance problems, and difficulty breathing. They can be plucked out but are more likely to grow back. Crispin is scheduled for what's called a Ventral Bulla Osteotomy. During the ventral bulla osteotomy procedure, an incision is made on the underside of the neck, just behind the jawbone. The muscles are separated to expose the bulla. The bone of the floor of the bulla is removed to expose and remove the polyp. I'm super in love with this guy and am devoted to do whatever I need to help him feel better. While working in the veterinary medicine field helps in amazing ways, it is not a high paying field. Even if you can't donate, Crispy man appreciates you reading his story!
