A Heartbreaking Goodbye: Help Cover Sissy’s $20K Medical Costs
Sissy fought bravely through what was expected to be a routine tooth extraction surgery that led to unimaginable complications. Over a month and a half, she was seen by 10 different doctors and two specialists, undergoing countless tests and treatments. Despite every effort to save her, her body could no longer endure the challenges she faced.
What started as a dental procedure spiraled into a battle for her life. An emergency endoscopy revealed two esophageal strictures that required a balloon dilation procedure to give her a fighting chance. She endured intense medical care, including being medicated 14-16 times daily. Unfortunately, the strictures reformed just nine days later, leading to aspiration pneumonia and worsening her condition.
In her final days, Sissy’s health rapidly declined. Her last trip to BluePearl Emergency Vet and Specialists revealed that her heart was beginning to fail due to a conductor issue and likely had a cancerous mass inside. Despite her resilience and the incredible efforts of her care team, she crossed the rainbow bridge.
Her medical journey left behind overwhelming bills across emergency treatments in the ER, specialist visits, her surgical procedure, medications, and 24-hour care, reaching over $20,000. I humbly request your support in covering these extensive costs. Your generosity can help me honor Sissy’s memory without the shadow of financial stress.
Breakdown of Costs:
- CareCredit financing: $5,000
- Southern CA Veterinary Specialty Hospital: $10,266.90
- AVIM (24-hour care for 2 days): $6,103.25
- Medications: Over $1,000
Sissy was more than just a pet—she was my heart, my companion, and my family. Though she’s no longer beside me, her love will always be with me.
