Help Me Save Lune's Life

Hi, my name is Erin, and I'm asking for your help to pay for my cat Lune's treatment. She was admitted to the ER today when my roommate found her lethargic, vomiting, and not eating. It was found that she ingested a large amount of my vitamin D3 supplements and has cholecalciferol (vitamin D) poisoning. I'm currently out of state and am very, very lucky that someone was present to care for her.

Cholecalciferol poisoning is very dangerous because it dramatically increases calcium levels and can damage kidneys, leading to renal disease or death. Her blood pressure was low when she came in, and it was still low the last time I talked to the doctor a few hours ago. Her calcium levels were so high upon initial testing that they weren't even registering. She will be hospitalized for 3-5 days while the veterinary team administers fluids, monitors her blood work, urine levels, and overall health. If she pulls through, we'll probably be looking at months of frequent vet visits for continued monitoring.

The amount I've listed now is the high end of the estimate I received from BluePearl. It may rise depending on how she does and subsequent vet visits. I'm currently living paycheck-to-paycheck and receiving financial assistance from my family just to cover my own bills. I've been applying and interviewing for better paying jobs, but nothing has come along yet.

I adopted Lune in 2017 after my own trip to the ER. She has absolutely saved my life over and over. She's super chatty, full of personality, and helps me keep smiling through my own hardships. Keeping her alive and healthy helps the both of us - though of course, her life is much more important!

I apologize if this post sounds stilted or the wording is off. It's been a frenzied day trying to stay on top of things and go through hoops with CareCredit to get that secured for an initial payment. I'm extremely worried and terrified of losing her.

I appreciate anything you could donate toward the cost for her care, and I'm thankful that you've come to this page and read our story. I'll update as I learn more.

Take care, and thank you again!

Erin
