Help for Piccalo
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Bill Lohnes and I'm raising money to help my dear friend Vincent and his precious kitty Piccalo.
This is from Vincent:
An unexpected trip to the animal ER for Piccalo today. I thought he had ingested strips of plastic from a garbage bag. He was clearly in distress and was meowing and his paws were trying to take a foreign object out of his mouth. When I looked in his mouth I didn't see anything. Like humans, we get things stuck in our throats from time to time. The vet first said that it should pass, but he didn't improve overnight.
This morning I checked his poo box. He never went to the bathroom. When I tried to feed him he refused food. So I decided to take him back to the vet. $800 later I got horrible news. Piccalo has 2 nickel size objects his body. One in his stomach and one in his lower intestine. One could be a bell, the kind inside of a kitty toy and the other is undetermined. The cost to do this surgery to remove these items starts at $4,700 plus the $800 I've already paid.
Times are a bit tough at the moment and I don't have this kind of money to spend on my little man. The only other option is to put him down. I agreed to do so but at the last minute I changed my mind.
Right now he doesn't seem to be in pain but surgery may be needed sooner rather than later.
Please help Piccalo if you can.
