Help Mochi Heal: Urgent Tail Amputation

Note: There is one image of Mochi's tail that some might consider graphic, discretion advised when viewing.

My story starts on the evening of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It was a definitely a long day for me. I was traveling among the woods, with an injured tail, and in the distance appeared a paved road. I didn't know any better, but I hobbled across thinking it was safe, determined to get to the other side. Suddenly, a truck went above me; I narrowly missed getting hit. Frightened, I tried as quickly as I could to get across. I became tired and laid down on a bed of grass. That's when my mom found me. Shivering, in pain, and confused about why this could happen to me. She quickly took me to an emergency room where I underwent initial treatment.

After a long night of tests and evaluation, I was told that my tail needs to be completely amputated. The damage was just too great. The tail was degloved all the way up to my body, and the doctors said it will take someone very special to take care of me. If it isn't taken off with the proper care, I could have issues using the bathroom for the rest of my life.

My mom is asking for help in taking care of me. The special people the doctors referred to are very smart and will need lots of "dinero" according to her (is that a kind of fish?). Anyway, if there is anyone willing and able to assist, that would mean so much to my mom, but more importantly, me. To ensure I get the best care possible.

My mom told me she wants to give me the best life. I know that will take time, but as long as it comes with my health, lots of wet food, and spring toys, it will be worth the wait. Thank you so much!
