Help Frank the Tank and his huge vet bill

Donation protected
Hello, as most of you are aware Frankie is recovering from major abdominal surgery in Southfields Specialist Veterinary Hospital in Basildon.

We had to push hard for this referral after our own vets tried to write him off after two days with incorrect information and diagnoses. We were told 3x during that time that he would need to be put down and we had to think about “drawing a line”. Frankie has been with specialists at one of the leading small animal hospitals in Europe. In that time we have a diagnosis of pancreatitis that has been missed for some time, diabetes linked in with that (all treatable) he has had an abscess on his liver drained (not noticed) by vets back home and a cyst on the liver removed. 

He remains stable currently, pulling through so he can start his journey to healing. He has had his NG tube removed and is eating solids once again, he has started walking with a little physio to help strengthen his legs. His catheter has been removed and they are starting to reduce his pain meds. He continues to amaze us in every way!!

We are fortunate to have insurance but that only covers us so far. We are currently at £14,500. We have an outstanding bill of £800 from the emergency vet hospital in Canterbury that wanted to put him down there and then with “liver cancer”. Then a bill at his old vets (he’s been moved) also - amount unknown as they haven’t contacted us after their incorrect diagnosis of pancreatic tumours, not even to see how he is.

We have to pay a 20% co payment fee on his policy as he is over 10 so we are asking friends and family if they can spare any money to help cover costs. Even a pound would honestly really help Frankie and get him further along the road to recovery.
