Help for Siren the Kitty
Donation protected
This campaign is for Siren who has suddenly started having severe health issues and her owner Kaylyn is having trouble covering the costs. Money from this campaign would go to diagnosing Siren and future treatments.
Siren's Story:
"She recently was seeming to have some balance issues. She stumbles as she walks, falling over a little bit. So I took her to the vet. She had scratched the inside of her ear and I thought that it might have been some kind of inner ear infection, as she still seems to have her personality and her appetite for the most part, and always wants to be with me and keeps trying to live normally, even though she's struggling to do it.
The vet tried to look into her ear but didn't actually see anything in particular, although she said an inner ear thing was still possible. But she said that she saw concern with Siren's eye, since her third eyelid was showing. Their concern is that she actually has a growth growing on her brain.
They said they could do bloodwork, and then if it turned up anything, they'd recommend a neurologist. But the cost of all of these things was just way too much. Just the cost for the bloodwork alone would have been over $500, closer to $600 I believe. And even if I could afford to do that, if I ended up having to send her to a neurologist, I would never be able to afford treatment for whatever may be growing.
I spent $250 on antibiotics and ear drops for her to see if that would help. It has been a few days now. Her eye is slowly getting more and more closed, and she is struggling more and more to stand up and walk straight without falling over. She seems frustrated because she seems to want to keep doing things like normal but can't. She's started rubbing at her eye because I'm sure it's bothering her. She's 13 years old. I've had her her whole life. And I hate myself because I am in no position to prevent her from dying. I'm certain I'm losing her. And I'm a mess over it.
I love her so much. She is my family. I don't know what I'm supposed to do without her."
This campaign is being run on Kaylyn's behalf because of recent harassment and death threats she has received online. Any small amount helps! Thank you.
