Iggy Needs More Help (& Lots of Positive Vibes!)
Donation protected
Unfortunately, the only good news regarding Iggy's surgery is that his tumor is benign.
Outside of that, he has been struggling with tremors, breathing and eating since his surgery 11 days ago and is currently at an emergency clinic on oxygen and antibiotics. He has aspirational pneumonia.
Today, he is still on oxygen because his breathing is extremely labored and is also still refusing to eat. Additionally, they have discovered kidney issues which are likely fatal. There is a possibility he won't come home and, if he does, it is very likely he only has a short time left with us. Please keep Iggy in your thoughts and prayers that he is able to come home.
We are so thankful for the amazing care he is getting (shout out to Veterinary Specialty Center in Lynwood!) but Katie is looking at a $5,000-$7,000 bill for this stay, which does not include any after-care or additional testing/treatment for the kidneys or other complications.
As you can imagine, Katie is spent emotionally, physically and financially and also has not been able to work much since she has been monitoring him 24/7, so I've offered to step in and ask you all for help. If you have the means, I humbly ask for your help again so Katie can focus on Iggy being as comfortable and happy as possible. If you are not able to financially contribute, we would love it if you shared the link!
We are so hopeful we can have our happy, sweet boy back to his normal self, no matter how long that may be!
