A huge thankyou to everyone who has helped - Jack has had his surgery
19 June 2015
Hi everyone, thank you all so much for your donations, I have been well and truly blown away by the support Jacks story has received, I never expected such an amazing response.
My vet Andrew (St Lukes Vet Centre, Auckland) agreed to go ahead with Jacks surgery and receive payment after the fundraiser closes. Jack has now had the splenectomy - Thanks to all of your help.
The surgery itself was a success, but sadly further tumours were discovered in Jacks abdomen in the middle lobe of his liver and on the diaphragm, areas where they cannot be surgically removed. Removal of the largest tumour on the spleen was still worthwhile as it might give Jack more time, and make him more comfortable. He is recovering well and seems much more his happy self.
Again, thankyou all so very much for the donations, as a result Jack has been able to receive all the care he needs, and it has been a huge burden lifted for me. I had of course wished for a better outcome, but we have done our best and as a result I might have some more precious time with him. If you would like to receive a card from Jack, please send your name and address to minnie.fb24@gmail.com.
Love,
Minnie & Jack
