Please Help Our Rodney After Someone Hurt Him
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jen, yesterday morning my beautiful boy Rodney came in and was clearly hurt, as you can see from the photo. We rushed him to the vet hospital thinking initially that he'd been burnt or poisoned as his mouth was all mottled and sore as if chemically burnt. Once in the hospital they said he has a major blunt force trauma and has a broken upper jaw, a bone had shattered from his upper palette and was sticking into his tongue causing lacerations and all his teeth are broken, he will need his canines removed at a later date but cannot do it now as he's not strong enough. I felt so helpless as I myself just got out the hospital on Friday after having surgery for Cervical Cancer. (I say this so to excuse my jumbled wording and if I can't reply or keep on top of this as much as I would like) he spent an agonising night in the vets on a drip and painkillers hoping he'd pick up but this morning they told us he is getting worse his temperature is rising and he's showing signs of infection. He is now at time of writing under general anaesthetic getting a feeding tube and also so they can have a better look down his throat as he still can't swallow. The worst part of this is that it is clear it wasn't accidental. He's been hit very hard with something. They said a kick wouldn't have been hard enough to cause these injuries. I won't get into how someone could do this to a cat cos I just can't. But I'll say this. I'll never ever forget seeing his face yesterday morning. I'll never ever forget Mavis the mother of his newborn kittens running over to him and him trying to vocalise to her and couldn't. I'll never ever forget that he was crying tears. I hate the fact that money even comes into this. We've paid £500 already and now that is running out. I hate asking for money or the fact that they make you choose what help to give him according to costs, business and healthcare don't mix. I don't know how much it'll cost in the end but it's looking like £500 a day so far. Times are hard, we know that more than anyone but we like I know you, if you clicked on this, do, love our cats. Anyway you can help will be so greatly appreciated,I mean that more than I can put into words. Your help won't be forgotten.I just want him home and back here safe with us. He hasn't even been with his new kittens yet and his bff Mavis is so worried as are all our cats. I wish I could do more myself but I'm still recovering from surgery and that makes me feel so helpless. I suppose I'm rambling on now as I don't know what else to say. Thank you. Please pray, meditate on, manifest for our boy. ⬛
Any money left after Rodneys treatment will go to the care of another cat that needs it (I'm not sure how to do that but we will work it out if there's spare money.)
