Hello world I am unfortunately having to turn to the internet for help with my sweet baby Winston Churchill aka Church. He is a very sweet and lovable 15 year old domestic blue. He has a history of chronic illnesses such as chronic kidney disease, chronic pancreatitis, an anal gland cyst that burst, and now liver issues. He is to have his annual dental cleaning and an extract of one of his bottom canine teeth.

I dropped him off at the vet and before the surgery he had to have labwork. His labwork came back with very high liver and pancreatic numbers. The vet consulted with an internal medicine doctor on what could possibly make his liver numbers high and the doctor stated it could be cholangiohepatitis and wanted to treat it as such. The vet also did an ultra of his liver, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder. His organs looked normal minus his kidneys since he has ckd so naturally one looks different than the other.

He has been on Clavamox for almost 2 weeks and Denamarin for a few days. He is to have his liver re-checked on November 11th. The doctor said if after 3 days he isn't better he will need to be hospitalized to get stabilized. Currently I cannot afford to have him ized. The last time he was hospitalized for pancreatitis it cost me $4,000 for a 3 day stay but he got better. It has been a struggle to get his pancreas numbers to normal and now he is getting worse and I am so afraid of losing him. Since he came home from the vet 10 days ago he hasn't been the same.

He has been distant, won't let me touch him or hold him, the first week he would stay in the kitchen and mostly by the water bowl, I had to move his bed to the kitchen as he wouldn't leave it, he stays in the basement and specifically in a dark area, he's not playing with me or the other cat, today he wouldn't eat, and stayed in bed from 2pm to midnight, and he doesn't seem to want to come in the bedroom like he usually does.

I am so worried and just want to help my baby as much as possible. I am disabled and live in a fixed income and my credit cards are maxed out. I have had him since 2013. I adopted him from the Austin Animal shelter in Austin, TX. He is the first cat I have ever owned and I can't imagine life without him but I know one day I will have to. In the meantime I still want to fight and get him better. I am determined and hopefully with the kind souls out there that can help out financially it will be possible. Thank you all in advance and if you aren't able to donate please share this with your family and friends.

The funds will STRICTLY be used for Church's vet care and medication. I will upload receipts of the funds paid to the vet.
