Time critical surgery to save Snickers
Canterbury
Hi everybody
Snickers needs a life saving surgery called perineal urethrostomy due to ongoing bladder blockages which is life threatening Unfortunately In the last month he has been rushed to the vets 3x for emergency unblocking 2 of which have been this week
He was put on a special diet but as it's happened again 2x unfortunately The only guaranteed way to stop this happening is to get the surgery above before he blocks again
snickers belongs to my 14yo boy who has autism who struggles socially, barely leaves the house as he doesn't do well with people and his cats are his everything they are his best friends
I'm not 1 to normally ask for help but my sons my everything and the cat is his everything which is why it's so important to us to save his cat but at the same time We have exhausted finances beyond our means which have totalled around $4000 in the last month alot of which we still have to pay back (we did get some help with 1st bill which we are immensely grateful for) but if Snickers blocks again it could cost him his life so it is time critical to get this surgery done so here I am exhausting all avenues possible
Weve been told it's going cost $3500-$4500 but to allow the higher end for any unexpected expenses
Whilst I wiil not be able to raise all funds on here nor do I expect to any help no matter how small would be truly appreciated and we will be forever grateful
Weve set up pet insurance unfortunately hes now not covered for anything related to this
Veterinary cost related to Perineal urethrostomy Surgery
Hospital stay for Snickers
If target is not met funds will still go towards the cost of this surgery
Surgery gone well 1 November 2025
Snickers has had surgery, all went well, he needs be in a cone and crated for next couple weeks as hes got to rest and not allowed to jump or exert himself so he's feeling a little sorry for himself but overall hes doing well
