Progress and Set Backs
16 February 2017Sorry for the lack of updates. A lot has happened since.
Boyds biopsy results came back as squamous cell carcinoma in situ. He had surgery to remove the lesions (cryotherapy). The surgery cost $575.
His wounds are healing nicely but he has had some complications. Due to the stress of having 2 surgeries in 2 weeks he developed what looks like either a urinary tract infection or cystitis (or both). The lab results will provide more details than the in house test, and we hope to get those in a couple of days. He has been given antibiotics and pain relief for the mean time.
The vet bill for this last health issue was $198.50.
In the last two months the vet bill has totalled over $1800.
It's been very, very hard. Not just on my finances but also on the cats, especially Boyd, and it has me in a constant state of worry. Without my mum taking us to the appointments and the clinic allowing me flexible payment options, all of this wouldn't have been possible.
Where does that leave his eye treatment? On hold for the time being. I need to get Boyd's stress levels down to help clear up his uti/cystitis, and to be honest I can in no way afford it at this time.
Please let your friends, family, colleagues etc know about Boyd's journey. Any donations are so helpful.
