Mistletoe update... and a bit of irony! (Michigan)

​

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an update on Mistletoe.

He’s home now, which is the best part. Yesterday was a bit of a rollercoaster... at first, X-rays didn’t show anything, but they eventually found a pocket of infection. He’s now on antibiotics, and we’re really hoping this gets him back on track.

Ironically, I ended up at the hospital myself yesterday for a few hours dealing with a tooth infection that my antibiotics weren’t clearing up either… so it’s been a bit of a week on all fronts.

As for his vet visit, the total ended up being just under $1300. We’ve already been able to pay part of that down, and we did receive one $100 donation, which we’re incredibly grateful for.

We still have $250 in matching support available, which can go a long way toward helping us finish covering his care.

Thank you to everyone who’s been following along and supporting him — it really means a lot, especially right now. I’ll keep sharing updates as he continues to recover.

🚨 S.O.S.- Emergency update... Mistletoe is at the emergency vet 🚨

Hey everyone,

I had to delete the previous post because I had some information mixed up... I wanted to make sure everything shared here is accurate.

We’re dealing with an emergency with Mistletoe, and he is already at the emergency vet this morning.

**We do have $450 in matching support ready from two donors, which will make a big difference as we figure out next steps.**

Mistletoe... who had extensive dental work earlier this year... has been losing weight quickly, throwing up, and struggling to get around, and it reached the point where we couldn’t wait. 😢

The vet has told us to expect the total cost to be around $1700 or more, depending on what they find through testing and X-rays.

We’re really hoping this isn’t related to his previous issues, but right now we just don’t have answers yet.

I’ll share updates as soon as we know more later today. Thank you for being here for him.
