My fur boy, Joe, is dealing with infectious fluid filling in to his pleural cavity—an area that should remain empty to allow his lungs to expand. This condition is called pyothorax. We found this out when we took him in to WAVES in Langford, where he'll stay for a couple of nights.

He just turned 2 and the vet thinks anything from a one-off cat fight could have caused this. At the moment, he has tubes in his chest to help drain the fluid, and he's on antibiotics to clear the infection as quickly as possible.

The cost for his care is estimated at $8,100, which is a significant amount for anyone and I’m praying that this will be all he needs to get back to his usual self.

Any support would mean the world to both of us. <3
