Nargle Needs A Little Help
After being intubated twice in December, Nargle has had complications and challenges healing her airway. Genetics already gave her a smooshy face and complicated brachycephalic airway, she really didn't need this extra challenge when it comes to breathing. But this is happening and is very real for Nargle. We greatly appreciate and thank if you are able during these unusual times to help Nargle and I through this financial challenge. Any contribution, even those that are 'just the cost of a coffee', help alleviate the stress and burden associated with a procedure like this.
Nargle's current state which has led to this choice we have to make is due to the fact that Nargle can't eat without coughing, wretching and at times regurgitating food. Her airway will close at times and cut off the oxygen to the rest of her systems, which causes her to pass out and loose control of her bodily functions. That's a scary event for her humans and we have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure we are there when she goes hypoxic. To hold her as she panics and make sure she wakes up from her fainting spell.
There is never a good time to reach out and ask for help and well, this is probably the worst timing for a critical surgery, especially when we could all honesty use support in some way. With the encouragement of friends we are reaching out to our extended community.
With this surgery we are hoping that Nargle will be able to eat without pain or discomfort and be on her way to chasing her feline roomate around again without gasping for air. Her surgical estimate is between $6,500 and $7,800 to correct her pallet, nostrils and possible larnyx tiebacks which will help her to breath without complications.
We thank everyone so much for every and any form of assistance you are able to contribute during this time. Nargle would love to give you all big Frenchie kisses once she has recovered!
