Ollie needs our help

On Monday 12 August Ollie has dragged himself home. His back legs were cold and stopped working. Ollie was taken to after hours straight away and has been hospitalised since.

We have learnt Ollie has a big blood clot preventing blood flow from reaching his back legs. He needs IV fluids, pain management and medication to help with the blood clot. The main focus now is to restore the blood circulation to his legs and keep him hydrated and comfortable.

Ollie has now been admitted to the specialist hospital and we have been told he has shown some signs of improvement and is potentially responding to his medication. However, he needs to be hospitalised for next couple if days for close monitoring for when the blood clot detaches and the circulation is back as this is linked with some risks.

UPDATE 15/8: Ollie’s blood tests had good results this morning, he coped well on less stronger pain killers and managed to use the litter box overnight. The specialist decided Ollie could be discharged this afternoon (hence why goal amount was decreased). This evening, he groomed himself, showed some interest in food and managed to get himself on and off the sofa. We are continuing his medication and physio and until he is seen by a cardiologist. Still hoping for the blood circulation to reinstate and a full recovery ❤️
