Support Kaia's Road to Recovery

Hi all,

I’m not one to ask for help but my kitten, Kaia, has been having serious medical issues which have led to many emergency room visits, surgerys, vet appointments and check up’s every other day. Last month, she had an injury to her back foot. She must have gotten stuck on something and ripped her toenail out. I was told she had severed her toe from the bone, and it was hanging by a ligament. She stayed in the ICU at the animal hospital for a few days to make sure the wound was under control and she was stable. She was finally released, and had gotten her bandage off her foot. Within a day or two, I noticed an open wound by her toe. I took her back to the animal hospital, where I was told they would have to do surgery to cut out the hardening and dead tissue. While she was finishing up surgery, I got a phone call that the infection was too deep and she would need her toe removed. She then underwent surgery to remove her toe. Since then, she has been having to go back to the animal hospital to get her bandage changed and checked every two days. On Saturday, she went for a bandage change and was told it looked great. That night she got the bandage off, and I had to bring her to an emergency vet again. I was told that her foot was so inflamed it was ripping her stitches out, and she had a high fever. She had her stitches removed and was cleaned up and put on medication. She is still getting bandage changes and I am continuing to monitor the situation. However, it seems she has a long recovery ahead of her. As you can imagine, between being in the ICU, multiple surgery’s, and multiple emergency vet visits, the medical bills have been thousands of dollars. At this point, I unfortunately have to ask for help to pay off her medical bills, along with the continued medical treatment she needs. I have never had to do this before, so I will continue to update the goal according to the bills as they continue to come in and as she gets continued care as we are still going to the animal hospital every other day.
