Tiger's newest medical needs

Friends, we have some news about everyone's favorite giant, Tiger.

We took Tiger in 3/23/2023 for his annual exam & vaccines. Right off the bat Dr. Cely noticed a heart murmur that was not heard during any prior visits. She also noted that he seemed a little more bloated than usual & his tummy didn't sound quite right. We muzzled him so she could do xrays, an ultrasound, urinalysis, bloodwork & get his weight. This was a safey precaution because we were not sure if Tiger was in any pain & he would be getting moved around quite a bit to have those tests performed.

The bloodwork showed that Tiger had, among other things, low protein levels. His urinalysis was clean, including his protein levels. His ultrasound showed some concern around the kidney area & the xrays showed alot of gas build up. Because Tiger's stomach is tacked due to his tendency to get bloated, his organs are in different places which makes reading films & ultrasounds a bit challenging. Tiger also lost 11 pounds since his last visit, which was in October.

The next step is to get Tiger into specialists for an echocardiogram as well as another ultrasound. His initial vet bill from his primary vet was $1,362.92, which did not include his vaccinations. We will be accuring alot of additional charges once we get Tiger into the specialists in the near future. Can you please help us towards Tiger's medical expenses?
