FatCatHercules has been on a weight-loss journey for 3 years. With constant vet checkups and special food, we have invested heavily into Herc's health and want only the best for him.
In January 2019 Hercules had a horrific episode of vomiting and diarrhea. Accompanied by behavioural changes and an uncharacteristic LACK of appetite, we went to the vet. Tests showed pancreatitis; a disease that can be acute (a one time thing) or it can be chronic (it can come back). After about 10 days on a supportive care regime, our regular sassy Hercules came back.
6 weeks later, we found ourself at the vet again with the same symptoms having crept back up. We were told that if symptoms keep coming back, we would have to investigate further because there's obviously a root cause that would need to be treated.
On April 9th we landed at the vet for a third time in 3 months; same symptoms.
Herc had an ultrasound and it was determined that he has chronic pancreatitis. A condition that can be stabilized but is often a fight to get there.
Since the ultrasound there have been more flare-ups,more meds, more special food all while trying to maintain his diet as well.
It's a very difficult situation to navigate.
With a mini hooman at home, daycare bills, a few other bills from unfortunate events and the fact that we already invest considerable money into Hercules's diet care, we are struggling with these bills.
We're asking if anybody has anything to spare to help us out, we would be forever grateful.
We have included copies of the bills thus far + estimate for the ultrasound. This is only to reach the diagnosis stage, more visits and treatment will come after as well. WereW not out of the woods yet.
Thank you so much for your support.
