My beautiful boy

My baby has been sick since February 6th. I don’t know what else to do. I never like asking for money; this seems so wrong, but I need the help. I can’t let him go; he’s my everything My sweet boy Puff, I’ve had him since I was 13 (I am now 24). He’ll be 12 in July. He was three months old when I got him. The only issue he’s ever had was tail rot when I first initially got him. Other than that, he’s been great all 11 years. He started to slow down and get a little weak in the legs early February. I didn’t think much; he is an old man, just thought he was getting old. He then began to swell at his cloaca and leak continuously mid-February. I took him to the vet. His blood work came back great, his weight is great, he had an ultrasound, couldn’t find anything. He’s had a culture swab and was initially diagnosed with staph and yeast infection, so we treated him for that. February 28th, he stopped eating completely. He’s never done that before. I rushed him to the ER; he was severely dehydrated and still swollen. We ran more tests; we can’t find out what’s going on. I began syringe feeding, anti-inflammatory shots, and fluids. It’s now March 23; he still hasn’t eaten on his own. He drinks on his own; he’s still his old happy self, and then boom, he crashes. I rush him to the ER again; he gets fluids, perks up, everything seems okay. I take him home for the night. I wake up, do my routine, tell him GOOD MORNING, turn his lights on; he looks good, orange, happy, alert. The day goes on. It’s now 6 pm; I’m getting ready to feed him, give him his fluids and attention again, he crashes. I rush him to the ER; he’s been hospitalized, and now it’s the 26th. He’s still there in an incubator, more alert, less black. I’m praying we find out. I don’t know what to do but wish for the best. I don’t know how to be so upfront, but I am at my breaking point with money. I really need help. Anything, even a dollar, a prayer, advice, anything helps. I’m getting ready to crash out. This is my son; I don’t know what else I can do for him, and it’s killing me. I want to hospitalize him at least one more night since the doctor told me today he’s perked up and is less black and sitting there actually watching the vets. I really want him to be there one more night, so anything helps! Thank you.
