It looks like we may be taking our momma cat for an emergency exam.

She hasn’t been eating, and it’s getting to a dangerous point where she could have big problems. We’re not getting any help covering this exam’s cost. We’re really concerned she has some underlying conditions beyond stress/postpartum and Amanda wants to go ahead with this vet visit. The first vets called wouldn’t see her till early/mid-September, the only Vet willing to see her is an emergency place. So yay, that’s gonna cost extra. But they can see her today.

If you want to help, this initial exam was quoted at $125

If this turns out to be something, we’re fully expecting it to get pricey fast. (like in the 500-2000 range) 🙁

Cross your fingers, prayers if that’s your thing, and if you’re interested in Donating
Donate to Amanda aka Purrfostermoma – paypal.me/purrfostermama
You can use Paypal or a credit card

If this does go in to an emergency procedure we’ll make a more official Gofundme. But for now we just need to get the test done and cover the cost.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATES

Aug 26 2020
3:43 pm PT

Mom has been admitted to the Vet

3:45 – From Amanda

“They are going to do ultrasound and X-rays”

“She was really good and calm in the carrier”

Sidenote: As suggested by Meanz25 from the chat, I’ve updated the blog to use Amanda’s Paypal link directly to avoid streamlabs taking anything extra.

You can get to that through – paypal.me/purrfostermama if you missed it above.

4:25 – From Amanda – Good News

They didn’t find anything in x rays

4:44PM While Amanda waits outside the vet for the results

The kittens can’t wait for Mom to come back, so Amanda’s bottle-feeding them while waiting in the car.

4:52 – From Amanda – And more…

5:26 Wrapping up the visit

5:58 PM – The Vet Sent us the X-rays (of nothing)

6:26 PM

Amanda’s On Her Way home with Mom & Kittens!

6:56 PM

Mom and Kittens are back home and can be seen on the Live Stream

Mom is still closing herself off (not nursing), obviously not super happy with the experience, but otherwise seems fine. She’ll need some time to relax, hopefully she’ll start eating/drinking and her milk production will start up for nursing.

Not sure when to expect the results from the blood work and other tests. Be sure to Join us for our Chat on Thursday evening and Saturday morning - I'm sure we'll go over all of this and Amanda will be around to answer questions.

I'm waiting on a copy of the official bills, but the grand total was over $900

10:20 PM

Final update for this night, the bill is in for a grand total of $923

I haven’t even begun to process this, it’s a lot.

Here’s an archive of a live stream we did which answers a lot of questions about this whole experience
