Help Gizmo Get Life-Saving Surgery

Hi! My name is Kristin. I am trying to help my sister Michele raise money for her fur baby Gizmo. He recently became more picky with eating and started having diarrhea. We took him to our Veterinarian and they did some blood work and radiographs. To our surprise, they found a mass in Gizmo's abdomen and recommended immediate referral for an ultrasound to see where it was stemming from.

The specialist said the mass was stemming from his spleen and he was able to do a FNA sampling with a needle to check the cells. Luckily, they are not seeing any cancer cells and his lungs on chest radiographs are clear right now. We are now needing to have urgent surgery for Gizmo to undergo general anesthesia for a splenectomy. The removed mass will then go out to the lab for testing so we can confirm 100% that it was fully removed and there are truly no cancer cells seen.

The ultrasound appointment was $906 and estimate for surgery is roughly $2000 and then supportive medications afterwards and follow up treatments are TBD pending how surgery goes. Any help that you may find in your heart to give would be greatly appreciated. Gizmo is a part of our family and his 7th birthday is coming up in September.

If you would like any additional details before making a contribution I would be happy to share with you. I have all of his records and pictures of his radiographs. He also has routine visits every 6 months at the vet up to date with all vaccines, heartworm, and flea/tick prevention. He gets all of the recommended care to keep him healthy but as mentioned before this was a surprise to all of us.
