For those of you who haven't heard, Satchmo is very ill and is currently under the care of the wonderful staff at the VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists. They have found a large tumour that had caused a serious infection. He is responding well to the antibiotic treatment and we are waiting for the results from an aspiration of tissue from the growth. This will determine if the tumour is cancerous or not. Obviously, the cost of these very necessary procedures are adding up.

Many of Satchmo's friends have been asking how can they help... Please consider making a contribution so Paula and Satchmo can focus on getting better.

Any unused funds will be donated to local animal shelters.

We will use this page to update you on Satchmo's progress so forward it on and check back regularly.

Thank you.
