My baby seal needs help
Hi ! I would appreciate any help in getting more exposure for my kitty Kairo 🙏🏻 thank you to everyone in advance
… everything in my original post:
To start off, please let me know if I’m breaking any rules and this will be deleted (I didn’t see anything against fundraisers in what I thought was the rules for this sub)
My baby Kairo is 3 years old. He is a male calico! (: I call him my little unicorn because of this. I have only posted him once before because I didn’t have enough karma (?) to post him in other subs.
I would truly appreciate it if you’re able to look over this and at least send a prayer for my Kairo 🙏🏻. He’s not doing so well and may need emergency surgery this week.
I am doing a gofund me for him hoping I can get a little help with his upcoming vet bills.
Story:
Kairo started feeling a bit sick in March. I noticed he wasn’t chewing his food properly; he would bite and spit out, then eat a couple of the bits he had spit out. I noticed how odd this was and made a vet appointment. During the weekend leading up to his vet visit, he started throwing up a lot, not keeping any food down. I took him for an urgent visit and they found out that he had teeth that were being reabsorbed and they needed to be removed. We were sent home with pain meds and he slowly started improving and eating.
On April 14th we took him in for his dental surgery. They took dental X-rays and took out all teeth that needed to be removed; one broken canine and 3 teeth that were reabsorbing. As soon as he came home he was very hungry! Great news for us (: he had to remain on softened food while he recovered. Finally after a week we were able to reintroduce kibble. He was so hungry for it he would shove his head in the bag while I served his food lol.
A few days pass and he starts being picky about his food. I mixed it with water and that pleased him for a little while. Then I started mushing his food, going back and forth on wet food, he just didn’t want to eat much. I also had to be careful with what to give him because he has a history of urinary crystals. After consulting with the vet, I started his pain medications again. It helped for a day or two. Then I tried homemade chicken pate, also only lasted a couple days. Now we are doing tuna water for him mixed with mushy food…. But he won’t touch it unless it’s only tuna…
I took him to the hospital again today on an urgent visit because during a bath last night his tongue turned white; that’s when I noticed his gums were quite pale.
The doctor examined him, took radiographs, bloodwork. I got a call from them stating that his kidneys are enlarged and he has what looks like a mass filled with fluid. She said it could be a foreign object, cancer, his organs telescoping in on themselves, and a whole list of many other things that could be causing this thing that they saw in the radiographs.
I have to take him for an ultrasound tomorrow at a different hospital to try and confirm whatever this might be.
In the meantime we are keeping him as comfortable as we can at home. With doctor’s permission we are giving him gabapentin and liquified food…
It breaks my heart that he has been suffering for this long. He’s not even himself anymore. He’s lost so so much weight 💔😭
I miss him so much.
I have attached a few photos of my baby Kairo and today’s medical bills as proof of my story.
If anyone can help me spread the word please let me know 🙏🏻 I will take any help
