Help Moonpie Get Well
Donation protected
Please help us pay Moonpie's medical bills! We really need help with her past and upcoming medical bills - pretty please! Following is her story.
Poor Moonpie has so many health issues. She has clearly never had attention or love, has lived in a small wire cage all her life, but that has all changed since she came to Zooh Corner.
Findings from first exam with Dr Laurence Lebrecque:
HEART - Slightly enlarged and has a mild murmur.
LUNGS - Her lungs are what we would call "busy," and her breathing is a bit ragged.
LIVER - Liver is enlarged, which may be in part due to what appears to have been a rapid weight loss, as well as overall infection/inflammation.
KIDNEYS- One of her kidneys is enlarged, but there is no mineralization, and on blood work we're not seeing any signs of kidney disease yet. My guess is she does have some kidney insufficiency. Time will tell.
MUSCULOKELETAL - She has a collapsed disc and arthritis along her spine and neck. She has mild hock sores on both back feet and they are painful. Her from feet are extremely painful due to so much weight being focused there, plus lack of mobility (from a wire cage, we suspect) for most of her life (we estimate she is 8-10 years old).
TEETH - She had elongated molars and incisors, inflamed/impacted roots and a possible tooth root abscess.
Her dewlap appears to have fatty deposits inside. The abrasion that you see is likely an abscess that burst and is trying to heal. Cytology showed infection, no cancer.
So far she has had bloodwork and radiographs (twice) and will go in again next week for recheck bloodwork and radiographs. Her molars and incisors have been filed. She is on pain meds, antibiotics, GI support medications, milk thistle (liver support), CBD oil and cosequin ASU (arthritis pain), plus modified daily syringe feeding.
The goal is to get her healthy enough to have surgery to reduce that dewlap, which is currently preventing her from moving around in any normal way - and it frustrates her :(
We have made strides and she is at least starting to look loved and cared for.
Please donate whatever you can to help us help this lovely old lady-bunny.
THANK YOU!
