I made the fundme for friends and workmates and I appreciate your offer sooooooo dang much but I have privacy autism stuff and I don’t know how to PM things on Lemmy… I left Reddit after Apollo died and PMs were easy there but yeah. You’re a wonderful person for offering and both my partner and I are so thankful for your offer. Much love :3
Thank you so much again—you’re sweet. Our little kitty boi is still in hospital but he’s stable now, it sounds like they’re hopeful he comes home soon. His littermate brother is very confused. :c
Our boi is not even back from the hospital yet and we’re halfway to our goal of $3k… I feel so insanely fortuitous and appreciative. Thank you again for offering to chip in. <3
He went from totally normal to hiding from us and refusing to eat all day. We brought him into the vet and she IMMEDIATELY looked horrified and said “I need to make a call”, then rushed us off to an emergency hospital who informed us that if we had waited another day, he had a super high risk of dying… I guess this is a thing that can happen with boi kitties.
So they had to put him under heavy sedation, put a catheter in, and keep him for a day to flush his bladder. There’s still crystals as of the morning but he’s showing great progress!
Alas, what we thought was going to be a 500-700USD vet bill is now a LITTLE BIT MORE… the deposit to leave him there was 2.7k, and it could be up to another thousand, which is the reason we tried a fundraiser.
Poor guy! That happened to a kitty of mine when I was a kid, with the same symptoms. We caught it early and he was fine, but it was a scary couple of days while he stabilized at the vet. I hope your furry child is alright.
If cats just weren’t so secretive and weird, instead throwing up all over the carpet and making a scene like dogs do, treating their issues would be so much easier.
Update in case you care: He’s back, he’s SO PEPPY AND HAPPY AND HE LOVES LOVE! He’s peeing a bunch and he seems perfect. He just has to be in his own room for over a week, his brother is super needy right now. They even refunded us a bit, so with all of the support we received it was about 1kUSD out of pocket… a FAR CRY from the 3-4k we were expecting.
Much love again for offering us help but this went from terrible nightmare to manageable situation and all we care about is that he’s back, being himself, and super happy.
Post it here and I’ll chip in. Take care of your fur baby!
Edit: or DM me the link, I don’t want you to dox yourself.

No worries, I completely understand. I hope everything goes well!

I’m so sorry you had a kitty that also dealt with that! I’m glad he was okay.
Horking up on the carpet and making a scene is cats’ favorite thing to do!

I was wondering! That’s great, I’m so happy he’s doing better!
