Support Colt and Remmy's Emergency Vet Care

Hi everyone,

I'm Annalisa and I am requesting help for two of my babies.

Early this morning, Colt and Remmy got into some Rimadyl. For anyone who doesn't know, Rimadyl is an anti-inflammatory drug. Together, Colt and Remmy ate 30 100mg Rimadyl's. Overdoses of NSAIDs can cause liver and kidney failure, intestinal ulcerations, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, etc.

We attempted to go to our regular vet but they are not equipped for the monitoring needed for NSAID poisoning and they recommended we try an emergency vet. It took three tries but we finally found an emergency vet that had space, Blue Pearl. They were able to induce vomiting and used charcoal to soak up any remaining medication. Colt got the worst of it and he is required to stay for in-patient treatment for at least 72 hours. Remmy appeared to only have a few in his system so we are able to take him home for at-home care but still need to take him back to Blue Pearl every day for 3 days for continued treatment. The outlook is good for both as long as they are able to receive the proper care.

As you can guess, emergency vets are not cheap and especially when they require overnight hospitalization. Blue Pearl is estimating our costs to be between $7000 to over $8000 for full treatment for Colt and Remmy. If you are able and willing, Christian and I would be forever grateful for any assistance. Our pets are like our babies and we will do everything to make sure they receive the best care possible.

Thank you and we love you.
