Hey guys, my name is Dani and this handsome baby boy is Jack (the pumpkin king), a little over 6 year old siamese mix who's been with me his whole life. he's my entire world.
late on Tuesday January 10th I noticed he was in some discomfort and with assistance opened his mouth and saw a loose tooth. Obviously I panicked and my girlfriend and I took him to the emergency vet asap to be seen for the pain, and they kept him overnight so on the 11th they could do a full dental procedure including scans, blood work, antibiotics, cleaning, etc. Something costly but much more manageable and less scary than what it became.
Yesterday, the 11th, I got a horrible call that he stopped breathing after being administered anesthesia, and that they were performing CPR. I rushed down and for four hours watched and cried and prayed and begged as he breathed with a tube down his throat, some basic reflexes kicking in, but not waking up.
It is now 5pm on the 12th. Overnight he woke up long enough to have the tube removed, and scarily he had a couple of seizures that they quickly got under control, and those haven't come back in nearly 24 hours.
He's breathing on his own there in the hospital without that tube and has been a little more responsive, but he isn't showing enough signs of being alert enough to mean we're out of the woods, or anywhere near enough progress in the last 24 hours to be ready to leave. they believe he's got at least a 50/50 chance which is much more confidence than there was even at 6am today, or from where we were yesterday, but that really rides on round the clock care with a longer hospital stay and more hyperbaric oxygen treatments, his vitals being continually regulated, and his IV of fluids keeping him hydrated as of now with the potential for a feeding tube if this goes even longer.
Maybe people will think I'm insane for this. I've already put $1500 on my credit card just for part of this, not even knowing yet what the entire amount I'm facing is when this ends (and I'm barely cautiously optimistic that will be a happy ending) and thats not including the initial exam on the 10th being $230 before all of this started. but I can't give up on him if he's got a better chance.
I hate asking for help. I think everyone who's met me knows that, but I'd do anything for Jack.
please help me hopefully bring my boy back to normal and home with me.
