Hi, my name is Wilson. I have a kitty, named Tom, 1.5 years old. His jaw was dislocated twice in the past week. First time on Sept 5th, doctors at ER could put the jaw back, however their diagnosis was completely wrong.
The second time on Sept 10th, we went to a different ER. This time, doctor was not able to put the jaw back becasue of inflammation and scar tissue building up around the jaw area. We were also told that this medical situation could not occur and deteriorate in a such short period of time. And our family remembered that Tom was bitten by an animal before our adoption from the shelter. The shelter has tried to hide Tom's real medical history. Until two weeks later after our adoption, his forehead kept bleeding. Sadly, the shelter denied any responsibility. During that incident, our family was mangaed to save Tom at the ER.
However, Tom's situation is more severe this time, and we were given two options.
First is to seek help from a professional vet dentist to perform an open surgery at Tom's jaw area, however the medical bill could reach at least $10000. The second option is to Euthanize Tom.
Because the bill for hospitalization for Tom to get appropriate treatment is way too high, we have brought Tom home. He could not sleep due to pain, keep shaking, and only eat and drink a little bit at a very slow pace. Our family has decided to continue seeking help for Tom for a week to prolong his life since he has been a cute and playful baby, even though his health has always been concerning.
