Help Stevie with Arlo’s Recovery

Hey y’all, I’m making this GoFundMe for my friend Stevie and his sweet boy Arlo.

Around 2 weeks ago, Stevie had noticed that Arlo was acting out of character and unwell within a short span of 7 hours. After spending some time with Arlo and monitoring him, Stevie noticed that he was bleeding from his urethra. Unfortunately it was around 11:30pm on a Friday night, meaning all vets were closed aside from Animal Emergency Hospitals. Thankfully, Stevie and I were able to take Arlo to the hospital and get him the medical attention he desperately needed.

Once at the hospital, the veterinarian discovered that Arlo had developed a severe UTI that nearly shut down his kidneys. This resulted in Arlo being hospitalized for a total of 8 days and ultimately undergoing a Perineal Urethrostomy surgery. Essentially this surgery created a new urinary opening by attaching Arlo’s pelvic urethra to his nearby skin to allow him to properly urinate.

Thankfully Arlo has been discharged from the hospital and is currently recovering at home with his favorite human, Stevie. However, Arlo’s medical needs have been very costly for Stevie. Stevie doesn’t like asking for help from others, especially financially, which is why I’m making this GoFundMe and asking for him.

Arlo’s Emergency Room visit costs totaled to $3,800.

Arlo’s Perineal Urethrostomy surgery costs totaled to $4,000.

Arlo’s general hospitalization and observation costs totaled to $1,050.

Arlo’s ongoing medication costs currently total to $150.

Thank you guys so much for taking the time to read all of this. Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing this would help make a difference for Stevie and his sweet Arlo.
