Help Frankie and Goku's Wellness Journey

Donation protected
Just days after Christmas, Goku felt ill with mystery symptoms like weakness on the left side, a high fever, lethargy, and wasn't drinking. We took him to Quakertown Veterinary Clinic.

$1,500 later and about 6 different meds led them to this: They believe that he has feline infectious peritonitis, an often devastating illness that is not only rare but also fatal.

FIP affects about 2% of cats and is triggered by a feline-exclusive strain of coronavirus. Coronavirus is transmitted by the feces of infected cats. 90% of cats will encounter coronavirus in their lifetime. Most will never become ill.

Due to FIP being genetically linked, it's imperative to have his sister Frankie evaluated too. As you can well imagine, there were many tests to come to this suspicion.

These weren't without reason. He had an ultrasound, x-ray, blood work, urinalysis, and lots of care from QVC's often vaunted (and rightfully so) staff. He was given fluids, nausea meds, and the first round of antiviral medication intravenously. For home, we have antibiotics, prednisone, anti-nausea medications, and a probiotic.

He and his sister have evaluations at QVC in 1 week. I am uncertain how much this will cost, especially if they both wind up positive. Even a dollar would be helpful. If you can't afford to donate, please don't feel bad; it was just the holidays after all. All of our pockets hurt. Do share. They are my entire world. Goku has not spent a moment away from me, and I prefer it. Let's give him our best.

From the bottom of my rotten black heart, I appreciate you.


UPDATE: Hello my loves! a brief update on Frankie and Goku. Goku has made a complete turnaround, bouncing back to his usual self, if not a little more bratty than before. Frankie has had a good day, although she's had some bad days lately and her eyes have been oozing again. I don't know if she'll have to go back to the vet yet. Please keep her in your thoughts. Also, thank you so much for the donations, well wishes, and everything that has been sent our way in such a positive light. I love you guys and I'm forever grateful and indebted to you all.
