Piper - a darling little black cat

Piper was a wild kitten born on a farm I work at. She was caught and I tamed her, now she is 3 and the most affectionate and clever little cat. Unfortunately she has had an ongoing issue with a dental disease called Stomatitis where her immune system attacks her own teeth and gums, causing tooth decay, inflammation and ulcers.

She had dental surgery in July, but needs more treatment.

Very painfull, but she never complains.

She also has an underlying condition which I was in the process of getting her tested etc.

UPDATE: She may have a tumor in her liver, or a nasty little blood parasite called Bartonella that leeches onto red blood cells, or an immune disorder that causes her body to attack its own red blood cells.

Need further blood scans, xray or ultrasound to rule out each possible cause of her anemia.

She is currently on stetoids, anti nausea and antibiotics...so she is dealing with all this..plus a sore mouth.

Ever tried to pill a cat with a sore mouth? Not easy. I normally hide them in her dinner, but days like today when she is not interested in food makes it a tad difficult.

Due to unfortunate circumstances I'm currently off work awaiting surgery and no ACC cover so I'm struggling to meet her much needed vet treatments.

Piper has been back and forth to her vet.

She is such a tough little cat.

Please help me, I am so desperate to help her. She is feeling rather awful.

Her tongue continuously sticks out now as some of her front teeth have gone...but it is quite cute.

Donations will be used at Mangere Vets, they are fantastic.

Piper and I are so grateful to you. I will always help an animal in need but am unable to temporarily, so thankyou for helping me to help her.
