URGENT - Hi Friends, It's me Chewy Bear,

I'm reaching out to you for an urgent plea to help me. I need to go in for a PU revision surgery ASAP. They just sent the quote over and I need a 75% deposit. They are waiting so I can go into surgery. I fought so hard and desperate to get this PU revision surgery. This is the last chance I have to save my life as some cats need to have the revision surgery. I am otherwise a sweet healthy boy and just need to pee.

I need so many earth angels to help me right now. If there is any amount you can help me with so I can get back into surgery, I would be so incredibly grateful! No amount is too small and every dollar adds up.

Please, please, please, share this post. I'm in a desperate situation and need to reach as many people as possible to support me. I only have a few hours before the hospital calls me to see what my decision is. The timing is crucial and I don't have a lot of time to work with.

My dearest Earth Angels, please help me get through this. Please don't give up on me!

Chewy Bear

UPDATE - Sunday, July 6

Chewy has been admitted to the ICU at Tufts.

Last night we noticed Chewy was having some difficult passing urine. He had a big healing scab stuck to his surgery stoma site and thought maybe that the scab was blocking his urethra but not knowing, we had to take him over to the ER at 4:00 in the morning. He has been admitted into the ICU. They were able to remove the scab but his urethra is having trouble passing the urine and he's not able to empty his bladder completely. They have placed IV catheter in his arm and he is on burpnex, gabapentin, onsior and prazosin. They're removing his urine from his bladder with a needle and are testing his urine to see if his UTI has cleared up. Because he is still passing some urine, just not able to empty his bladder. They're hoping it's something more on the lines of inflammation and they want to try to treat that first and don't want to reinsert a urine catheter or do anything else that may interfere with his healing. He will stay hospitalized tonight in the ICU and will know better tomorrow the next step. We are praying he does not need the PU revision surgery. He has urinated 25 times since he's been home over the past 2 weeks since leaving the hospital. So the surgery worked, we just need to get over this hurdle.

He has fought so hard to get to this point and so many things have been going right. We are hoping this is just a small bump in the road but we still need current support for his 2 nights in ICU, diagnostics and medical care. He has been eating, drinking and playing all the way up until last night. He just wants to pee.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and much needed donations to help get him get through this, so we can get him home! No amount is too small and every dollar will help Chewy with the care he is currently receiving in ICU. ❤️

UPDATE- Friday, 6/27

Chewy peed on his own and finally made it home! After 16 days in 2 different hospitals including 4 full days in the ER, 4 surgeries, 10 unexpected days with a urine catheter as a urethral tear prevented him from peeing after pu surgery, numerous blocked catheter issues, a developed seroma in his belly, a uti, a fever, a upper respiratory virus, medication changes, IV problems and several other complications he overcame these issues for another chance at life that is normally a death sentence for kitties that can not urinate. He fought through every complication to reach this incredibly massive milestone with one wish in his little heart, to have the ability to urinate on his own.

He is now at home, in recovery for two more weeks, in his own room to avoid stress, relax and finish up his healing journey. All of this hospitalization, complications, unexpected and extended medical care he received for his life-saving, urinary blockage emergency, has racked up daily to become an enormous amount.

If you would like to contribute to his 16 days of hospitalization or even help him with his ongoing urinary care that requires a strict and very expensive prescription urinary diet. This will greatly increase his chances of long-term survival to help prevent him from any future blocking. We definitely do not want Chewy to go through this again. ❤️‍

No amount is too small and every dollar goes directly to Chewy's urinary medical care.

We are so very thankful for each beautiful soul that has supported him in this awfully long journey. Chewy Bear is alive and thriving today because of YOU!

As his mama, your extreme kindness given to my son in his desperate time of need will forever hold a place in my heart. And for that, I am truly grateful.

Intro:

Chewy Bear has been a beloved part of my life for years, always bringing joy and comfort with his gentle purrs and loving nature. He’s the kind of kitty who greets everyone with a soft nuzzle and is happiest curled up next to me, purring away. Sadly, Chewy is now facing a serious health crisis. He’s been having trouble urinating, and after a visit to the ER at my local Animal Hospital, the vet confirmed he’s suffering from a urinary blockage.

This isn’t the first time Chewy has faced this ordeal. Almost exactly two years ago, he needed emergency care for the same issue, right after his beloved little brother passed away. That period was extremely stressful for him, and it’s heartbreaking to see him go through this again during the anniversary date. This condition is not only very painful but also life-threatening if not treated quickly. The vet has recommended immediate surgery at Veterinary Emergency Group in Shrewsbury, MA to relieve the blockage and give Chewy the best chance at recovery.

The cost of this urgent care is extremely overwhelming, and I’m reaching out for help to cover the expenses so Chewy can get the treatment he needs immediately. Every contribution will go directly toward his surgery, medication, and follow-up care. Your support means everything to us, and will help give Chewy the chance to return to his happy, loving self.

Thank you for considering helping my sweet boy during this difficult time.
