Oscar's Urinary Bladder Stone Removal Surgery

Donation protected











My name is Trisha, I am fundraising for our 11 yr old cat named Oscar.

We took Oscar to the Capital District Veterinary Hospital on March 26th as an emergency visit. The few days before hand, we though Oscar was constipated, as he was trying to go to the bathroom, but wasn't able too, within a very short days, His health declined rapidly.

So we took him to the hospital, which at this time we still thought the constipation was the issue, but it... was not.

We found out that Oscar's Urethra was blocked, and caused a backup into his kidneys which was leading to kidney failure.

Today- 3/27/24, I spoke with the vet around 8:30am this morning. He has Urinary Bladder Stones,which one got stuck in his urethra.

Some of our options are- to see how he is after the catheter is removed, but another stone could get stuck trying to pass through.

Surgery to remove the stones- and hope they don't come back.

strict prescription diet that would take a long time to dissolve the stones, which then these issues could be caused all over again.

or Euthanasian, which to me, is not an option because I can't do that knowing that he can improve and he still has a lot of life left.

We have already covered the cost of Oscar's hospital stay for the few days, but seeking a little bit of help for the surgery which they said could be around another $4000-$5000 .

Anything that can be donated will be used towards Oscar's surgery and possible follow up exam after.

If you can not donate, I completely understand , especially with the financial hardship these days, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Oscar is such a good boy, and he deserves whatever the best option is which is why we're trying to lean towards surgery to get the stones completely removed.
