I thought I was done (for a good while) in asking for monies for the cats here, but apparently not. Bentley crashed earlier and I rushed him to the vet fully expecting him to be given a pass to the Bridge.
Instead, he will be spending three days in isolation with supportive care; continuous IV drip of not only subcu fluids, but they have him on a morphine drip and an antibiotic serelina? I think he said.
It will cost $312.00 for these measures and although I don’t usually go the distance for one cat- Bentley is just different. I can’t explain it. Some cats are just special and he is worth breaking the bank in order to save him.
The vet does understand that if at any time in this three day period that Bentley starts spiraling downward, he is to be euthanized so he won’t suffer.
The vet said he can’t guarantee that Bentley can kick this- but there is a good enough chance to risk it. He is older than the other kittens and he does have one vaccine onboard.
So if anyone can help with the Bentley Crusade that would be wonderful. I have to admit leaving him in their hands is a mixed bag of emotions. One that I feel I am letting him down by throwing in the towel, and then also a big sigh of relief that he isn’t under my care right now. Like I said, hard to explain- but he is worth the risk we are taking-
I will try to send something in the next few days, for certain.
yes you are right he is worth fighting for, my pleasure to offer a little assistance to you both. Both in prayer and a little funds. Bless you for taking care of him and all the babies.
We’re still purrrrrrring for you, Bentley. Hang in there, kittie.
Hope this little bit helps.
Ok, sent you something just now. Hope it helps.
You’re not giving up on Bentley, you’re just letting get medical care that can’t be provided at home. I’ll be sending you something.
