Help needed to Cover Bentley's Medical Bills

Donation protected
Bentley Blu went to the hospital after having a seizure at 1am on October 9th. The Hospital gave him 3 different seizure medications and then an antibiotic for aspiration because he has laryngeal collapse stage 2, so fluid can go into his lungs and he was also on IV fluids. nothing by mouth all meds through IV. Then at 1pm, they said he could go home with medication the seizure had stopped. When my son picked him up, he was lethargic and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth, but he was so happy to see my son. I was out of town, so he FaceTimed me. I called the hospital about the tongue hanging out and walking a little wobbly, and the man told me that Bentley was barking and making his Frenchie noise, so they gave him a drug to sedate him because of the laryangel was swollen. He also said that Bentley was drinking water, which I found weird because he was on IV fluid nothing by mouth and another reason since his water is in his food. Bentley has not drunk water from a bowl in over 4 years. I was told due to the laryngeal collapse that he was to be on prescription canned food with water in it plus they had his records so he doesn't aspirate and not drink water from a bowl. he is to be fed with meatballs in an upward position
My son tried to give him the medication in meatballs at 8pm for the seizures to prevent having them, but Bentley didn't want the food; he couldn't use his tongue still hours later. I called again, and they said that's not right, to bring him back and they will waive the emergency fee for this time. My son brought him back, and they said they had to put him in oxygen due to the aspiration and oxygen levels but never addressed why his tongue was like that still and kinda out of it. , I was told that he had been regurgitating prior, but we were never told that before. i asked is he taking his regular medication metroclopramide and omeprazole and then I asked them to send me his chart for the 9th , and with all the medication he was taking, no medication for nausea or his tummy with all that medication . From that point on, I called for check-ups. they started to give him his regular meds metroclopramide but never did his omeprazole or nausea medication and they said he was in the same shape, no change, and needed 24 more hours of oxygen. I had to wait to see in the morning if there was a change. BUT if any changes occurred, they would call. If his breathing got worse, they would intubate him so he could rest.

At 5am, I got the call from the doctor saying Bentley went code and they were doing CPR and had intubated him. How long did I want them to try? I said save my dog! Then I called back, and the nurse said they tried with compression for 8 minutes. He's gone and blue. That's my nightmare. Anyone that knew me or Bentley knew that I was his support person and he was my support. We were together 24/7 unless I had someone watch him. He was my life, and I am devastated. He was not my pet, but my baby. 6 years old, gone way too soon. Someone messed up for sure. Now I have to pay this bill and my baby is gone. No insurance. If you have the means to help, that's great; if not, I understand, but I can't have them holding my baby over my head and they already sent me some credit companies to apply to so they get paid.

10/15 of course meeting with hospital they were able to adjust some of the fees but this won't bring my baby back! I am still waiting for my meeting with the Dr.
