Story
Comet, a cherished tabby girl from New Jersey, has been struggling with a painful condition. Comet was frequently going in and out of the litter box and often urinating outside of it. Her mom saw blood in her urine and immediately took her to a local veterinary clinic for an exam.
A urinalysis showed that Comet had a bacterial infection and was treated with antibiotics. However, after two weeks, Comet was still exhibiting signs of urinary stress. She was prescribed Amitriplyine, a medication used to treat Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC) however, her symptoms persisted. πΏ
X-rays later revealed that Comet had bladder stones, and they have not resolved with a prescription urinary diet. Heartbreakingly, Comet continues to suffer and now urgently needs surgery to remove the stones and ease her pain.
Cometβs surgery has been estimated between $1,636.09 - 1,836.09, however, Comet's mom can not afford it. She has paid over $600.00 so far for Cometβs veterinary care and applied for care credit but was denied, and with the increase in the cost of day-to-day living expenses, she barely gets by.
Comet is only four years old; this procedure will drastically improve her quality of life furever! Please help if you can, even a $5 or $10 will help this cherished furbaby girl.
