Hi everyone, my name is Tiffany and if you know me, you know that I am a huge animal lover. It feels like that’s my strength but also my weakness when it comes to times like this.

My sweet baby boy, Cinnamon, recently found out that he has a diaphragmatic hernia that has caused his intestines, liver, spleen, and possibly colon to make way into his chest cavity, and I was told by my vet that surgery is the only real chance of survival. My vet does not do said surgery because of how severe it is, so I have made a consultation appointment with the specialist for today (October 28) to see what his next steps are.

I do know that the specialist clinic quoted me anywhere from $8.5-9k+ for this type of procedure.

Right now, I’m just focusing on my sweet boy and really hoping there is a positive outcome to this. He is only 4.5-5 months old, weighs about 4.5 pounds, so the risk really does terrify me, but who am I to not try to help him enjoy the life he was given to the fullest?

I rescued him from my work, and I do truly believe he was brought into my life for a reason. I will forever hold my fur babies close and do what I can for them.

If you can donate, any bit helps as I will be doing tests today I’m sure to see his levels for surgery are good and possible ultrasound to see what other organs are involved in this.

Thank you so much
