Donation protected
Cowboy has been my best boy since he was about 3 months old. It's almost 9 years later now and he has truly become my rock. Cowboy has always been a part of what I call home. The other night was the first night I've slept without him within arms reach. I had to bite my lip when I instinctively called his name to come lay with me.
Earlier this week (11/29/20) was one of the biggest scares I've had with him. Right in front of me as I brushed him, cow started to violently shake from side to side, losing all motor functions, and totally panicking in the process. It was really heart breaking to watch, and I am lucky to have been right there, in order to act quick. For now, he has been showing symptoms of vestibular disease. The cause is unknown, and this diagnosis is only a possibility as further testing is required. From what I was able to afford, we were able to rule out many different situations with the different animal hospitals I've taken him to, but I do not have the money to continue searching for what exactly is causing these symptoms. It really breaks my heart I can't do everything I can for my friend because of the money. The extent of what I was able to do is not enough to help him.
It is now a few days later (12/04/20) and cow has barely eaten more than a handful of food, and has drank less than a cup of water. I know I am doing all that I can, yet I am still watching him suffer in the process. I want to do more. As of today, I have been laid off due to how COVID19 has affected my company. Which makes it tremendously difficult to work all his care into my own budget. An MRI scan alone costs between 3-4 thousand dollars. And that is just step one towards getting him more help than I've been able to so far. As of now, we are treating him for an infection that may have affected his nervous system. But there is no way of knowing whether that is the case in a situation where time is of the essence. The medication unfortunately does not seem to be working. And it makes me anxious as in his current state, I am working against time to try and do more. Even working his appetite up has been an endeavor.
I am reaching out for help. I love cowboy, and I want him to have a chance. Even if this is our last chapter together, I want to be able to close it out as comfortably as I can make it for him. All those that know him, know that he is the goodboy cowboy. He is love. He has never been shown abuse or neglect which results in a loving and kind kitty. These funds will go towards his testing, treatment, and whatever else needs to be done for him. So far I have spent almost 3,000 in just a few days alone. I wish I had all the money in the world for baby cow. Any donation helps and I am forever grateful for all the help we receive. Thank you for reading, reach out to me for anything. Please share this link as much as possible!
