What a wild rollercoaster the last 3 days have been. My lil buddy wasn't feeling well on Christmas Eve so we took him in to see the vet. It was decided that he would need surgery to have bladder stones removed. Friday morning he went in for surgery. After a long stressful day of waiting we were able to go pick him up and get him home. Within a few hours we noticed that things didn't seem right. We rushed him to the nearest emergency vet in the middle of the night. The staff there was great. They quickly identified the few possibilities that the problem could be. They determined that the care he would need may be beyond their capabilities and recommended that we take him to Gainesville if we wanted the best chance at saving him. Without hesitation we hauled ass to the University Of Florida's School of Vetenarian. They hopped into action quickly and immediately went to work to identify the problem. Here we are 2 sleepless days later. A few hard battles later. Multiple trips back and forth from Jax to Gainesville later. An unimaginable bill later and he's still fighting. My lil guy is fighting so hard. He's won a couple battles and he's also had a few set backs. We remain hopeful he's going to get through all of this and get back home to his family next week. My heart hurts. My stomach hurts. My eyes hurt, but my buddy hasn't given up and neither am I Please buddy, please pull through this and get back home

I've set the goal of this fundraiser to the projected cost overall. We've been able to use lines of credit to ensure that all of his care will be administered even though it's more than likely unaffordable for us. We know times are rough on a lot of people right now and we don't expect to get anywhere near the fundraisers goal. Anything someone is willing to donate would be immensely appreciated even if it's just your thoughts and prayers. If anyone would like more details on the procedures and costs associated, feel free to contact me.
