URGENT: Rigg needs an endoscopy!!

For the past couple of months my little guy Rigg has been dealing with chronic vomiting, regurgitation and hacking. As a result I was making trips to the vet/ ER weekly for fluids, nausea meds and additional testing. Rigg was doing good for going on 3 weeks; I started muzzling him on walks (so he could not consume trash and we could rule out dietary indiscretion). Unfortunately, he ended up having another chronic vomiting episode and continues to have them with no specific pattern. I have gotten numerous diagnostics performed including an ultrasound, x-rays, CBC panel, Texas A & M Maldigestive Profile, fecal and heart worm tests. So far a foreign body and pancreatitis have been ruled out. The ultra sound revealed inflamed stomach tissue lining, and the CBC panel showed an elevated white blood cell count.

My vets are currently attempting to treat Rigg even though they do not have a diagnosis for him. However, Rigg has lost weight and continues to deal with chronic vomiting episodes. I've placed him on a home cooked diet, supplements and am continuing to try different protein sources. He will require an internal medicine specialist ASAP to have an endoscopy performed. As any pet parent would be, I have been highly stressed and anxious about not being able to get him the medical attention that he requires.

If you are able to contribute to helping get him on the mend, it would mean the world to us. 100% of the proceeds will go towards an endoscopy and any future follow-up appointments/treatments he may need.
