Surgery Unlikely
17 April 2021
Kia ora all, unfortunately it looks like we won't be hitting our target goal for donations, and because surgery requires payment upfront (no payment plans available) it looks like Bernie will have to forgo surgery :(
She is at home resting now, and will be in a cage for the next 4-6 weeks, and inside the house for 2 weeks after. She got her fentenyl patch off yesterday, and after not defecating since the accident, she finally did so! She is still on anti-inflammatories, pain killers, and laxatives. She has started standing a bit occasionally, which the vet says is good. She's also been eating shredded chicken and soft foods now! We're hoping with complete bed rest, she will be able to heal without surgery. The vet said she thinks this should be doable.
Just letting you all know that every dollar means the world to us, regardless of not meeting our donation goal! Money will go to current and ongoing vet bills, medical care, special dietary needs, and care while she heals and beyond. We wouldn't be able to afford even the primary vet bill without your help! So thank you all so much for sharing and caring ❤
I'll be working on art pieces next week to send to any donators who would like to recieve. Please feel free to email me with your address any time and I'll post them when they're complete.
Loves and snugs
