Hi, my name is Kristy, and I am fundraising for my baby boy Frankie. Next month, he will be 11 years old, and I got him when he was two weeks old as raccoons killed his whole family. About six weeks ago, he started losing weight and vomiting. The vet palpated his abdomen, and we found out he was constipated. We had no idea as we have three other cats who all share litter boxes. The doctor suggested abdominal x-rays and an enema. X-rays confirmed constipation and the enema helped. At that point Frankie was isolated at home from his fellow cat friends with his own litter box to keep track of his bathroom habits. Frankie was not defecating on his own, he was prescribed two medications to help him defecate and was continuing to vomit. At that point he started with loss of appetite as well. It was then suggested to do abdominal ultrasound which we did and found out he has pancreatitis. We prescribed two other medications and put him on subcutaneous fluids daily. Frankie is still not getting better, he gets enemas at the vet 1-2 times per week. He is barley eating and losing weight rapidly. Yesterday we went to a specialist internal medicine department in Richmond. We suspect the pancreatitis is secondary to GI Lymphoma. It was suggested to sedate him and do an endoscopy with biopsy and to also place an esophagostomy tube (feeding tube). Frankie is over 7 pounds down in his weight over the last few months. The specialist in Richmond quoted us almost $7,000 to do those procedures and that is just diagnostics. Sadly we did not have the money at that time so we had to take our baby boy home feeling so defeated. We need to do the diagnostics to figure out how to help treat this sweet boy and make him feel better. Despite all of this he has still been the sweetest boy, head budding and begging for love from everyone. We are not ready to let go of our baby boy and his spirits show he is not ready to go yet either. Please help us raise money to do these diagnostics and hopefully save our baby. He has appointment this Tuesday for the endoscopy and biopsy and then Wednesday for the feeding tube as long as I can come up with the money by then. Thank you all for reading this and thank you to those who can donate. Even if you cannot donate a prayer for his health would be nice. Again thank you all and wish us luck!
