Report on Ari's visit to the whitecoats

[moosmom]

Ari had a re-check on his left eye today. He still has an ulcer on his eye and he needs to see a feline opthalmologist to determine whether removal of the ulcer will help him see. If it is determined that surgery would be beneficial, that's another bridge I gotta cross.

I also found out that he at one time had ringworm and was given an injection and complete bath to get rid of it. Never knew that before!!

Poor Ari had 3 very loose teeth on the bottom front that the vet took out (poor baby is now hiding under the bed) because they were dangling and ready to come out. I couldn't BELIEVE how bad his teeth looked tartar wise. He's now scheduled for dental work (cleaning, etc.) next month.

Anyone remember the name of the orgnization that helps people with vet expenses? Ari has a bit of a road to hoe. But I'd do anything to help him see and get rid of that nasty ulcer.

This poor boy has been through so much in his short life. I just don't have THAT kinda money.

Imom - I think that's the name of the organization.

Hugs to Ari for all he's gone through and hugs to you for giving him the best possible care!

Scooter's Mom,

Thanks. I knew it was "I" something. This bill is gonna be a whopper but he's only 3 years old. It's no death sentence. I'll let you know how I make out.

They cover non-routine stuff, which poor Ari's eye certainly is.

Not sure about the dental..but heck, go for it.

There is always the PT Donation Fund too!

Poor widdle guy!

I've emailed my friend who runs Helping Paws and told her about it. I have no idea how much all of this will cost. The opthalmologist is over an hour and a half away. I'm going to see if there's one around here closer to me. It's always something.

Aw, poor little guy. I'm sure he'll feel better soon, though, now that you took care of his immediate needs, Donna.
