Medical Expenses for Senior Stray Cat

Thank you so much to all of our donors - without your kindness, us two broke students would not have been able to afford to take care of Scruffy. You have all given him a chance to live out his finals years in peace, safe from a harsh life on. . . . .

A warm hello to all of our kind donators and friends,We apologize for not giving a sooner update regarding our decision. Following Scruffy's heart ECG, we received a call from our vet informing us at that Scruffy has a leaky valve on the right side of his heart, and a. . . . .

Hi everyone!Yesterday we took Scruffy for his check-up after two weeks of antibiotic treatment to see if the infection in his bladder had cleared up. Unfortunately, his bladder was the size of a pea. The vet was unable to obtain a urine sample, even after we tried to give him. . . . .

Hi everyone!This morning, we woke up to Scruffy’s two food bowls which we left in his cage, empty! Hooray! Scruffy continues to be a good boy, cooperating with us as we feed him medication. Except for the antibiotics, which he absolutely detests. He scrambled to the window and lost two. . . . .

Hello everyone, Scruffy is not a fan of his new medicine. Its a syrup based medication which frankly smells like cough syrup. We wouldn't want that either. Unfortunately, he has to take it until the next vet appointment where we hope to ask for a pill version instead. I can't. . . . .

Hey y'all!Today we talked to our vet about findings from the ultrasound Scruffy did this week, and they also checked the potassium levels in his blood. Good news - they are back to normal, which is a good sign! Hooray! He has lost weight, though, going from 4.57kg to 4.05kg.. . . . .
