Nugget's Endoscopic Biopsy and Vet Bills
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Patti. But there's a decent chance you know my cat better than you know me.
Nugget achieved some viral fame through her twitter account, which SHE POSTED ON HERSELF and I DID NOT MANAGE. If you hear anything else it's a lie. She's just really good at using social media, Nugget is a star that way. The most I did for her was take pictures since she does not have opposable thumbs.
She is also, sincerely, the best cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Nugget provides endless laughs and companionship every day. Sometimes I stare at her and bust out giggling. Why does she look like that! What's wrong with her face! She always appears sort of haunted, like she just peered into the void and saw the heat death of the universe. Nugget is also incredibly friendly, sweet, cuddly, and goofy. She charms everyone she meets and I'm convinced people have visited my apartment/office to see her, not me.
Nugget also has a lot of health problems. God had to nerf her somehow, I guess! She suffers from asthma, feline herpes, and has recently been dealing with severe stomach issues. I've been able to manage her diarrhea and vomiting, but can't treat it until I know the cause. I have seen the vet for multiple visits and she has determined that it's either IBD or intestinal lymphoma.
To decide which problem needs to be treated, Nugget will need an endoscopic biopsy totaling around $2200. Even then, if she is dealing with Lymphoma, there will likely be additional costs for chemo and continued treatment. It's hard to know at this point, but I'm doing everything I can to get a diagnosis as soon as possible and her biopsy appointment has been moved up to 11/14/2022.
Lately, I have been hit with a lot of expenses hindering my ability to save money. Most of them have been emergency vet visits for Nugget. I've been able to hold out this long, but right now I need a little help to get through this diagnosis/treatment and every bit makes a huge difference. If you are financially able, I would greatly appreciate a donation to get my best furry friend through this difficult time. I love her so much and I just want to make sure she's living her life to the fullest.
Also, please excuse any typos in this summary. Nugget is currently sitting in front of my screen and walking all over my keyboard. I'm trying to save your intestines, Nugget, chill out!
Thank you,
Patti + Nugget
