Bella’s Bladder Tumor Surgery


On Sunday September 9, 2018 we rescued our precious baby Bella. She had a tough/abusive start to her life and we want to turn it around for her. She came to us with 3 days left of an antibiotic to take for a urinary tract infection. We knew she was not potty trained, but the day after she finished the antibiotic she was still exhibiting urinary frequency every 20-30 minutes and we thought her infection had not resolved. 

We brought her to the vet the next day and learned she did not have a urinary tract infection, but has a mass in her bladder. The next morning she had an advanced imaging ultrasound and we learned that the tumor has blood flow and were then referred for a surgical consult to have the mass removed and sent for testing to find out if it is a benign polyp, granuloma, terratoma or a malignant tumor.

She is only 11 months old so we want to do everything we can for her as she is an absolute sweetheart. At her surgical consult on 9/18/18 the surgeon told us to prepare for the surgery and testing of the mass after it is removed to cost between $4000-$5000. Any and all help we can get to take care of Bella will be extremely appreciated and go 100% to her medical care.
