ππ KAI UPDATE ππ
Our fighter is home!
He is still ill and not out of danger yet, it's going to be a very nerve-wracking time watching him closely for any signs of deterioration but we are *very cautiously* optimistic Kai may pull through ππ
He is on medication and the main thing we need to do is make sure he keeps eating, keeps drinking plenty and hope the medication kicks this infections bum! Then it's a case of waiting to see if he's left with any lasting damage to his liver or kidneys.
Kai is much brighter in himself than he was Friday night, is eating well (although being a picky monster!) and, now he's home, seems very happy to be back β€οΈ
We're even seeing some playful moment and very nearly getting some woooos!
As we still aren't sure what the infection is, we're treating it as contagious so we have strict biosecurity in place to make sure we greatly reduce the risk of it spreading to the other dogs here. This means a shake up of sleeping and feeding spots, foot baths, PPE and limiting trips between Kai's area and the other dogs! Further testing is being carried out on samples taken whilst Kai was at the vets so hopefully that will bring a clearer answer and these measures don't have to last too long π
We cannot thank the vets, nurses and rest of the staff enough for taking such good care of him and acting quickly to start medication and fluids β€οΈ
They told us he's been a very sweet boy and they've loved getting to know him which was lovely to hear xx
Absolute heroes π
Now on to the bill!
Amazingly, we actually got a Β£226 refund from the Β£1500 we paid as a deposit on Friday π
This was a big surprise and again, we are so, so grateful to the vets for being so understanding and conscientious of costs whilst making sure Kai got exactly what he needed
This puts the total bill at Β£1472 (Β£198 at our usual vets before he was admitted to the vet hospital) and we hope that is where it stays as if he continues improving, Kai shouldn't need further treatment π€π€
We have had approximately Β£372 in donations for which we are so, so thankful π
This leaves a Β£1100 shortfall
Alongside a Β£400 spay bill for another of our babies
So we desperately need Β£1500 of vet bills fundraising for!
Any donations are very gratefully received and if there are any fundraising events you would like to see such as photo competitions, an auction, sponsored events, anything! Please do let us know π
Simple comments and shares are also incredible so please even just tell us what the weather is like where you are today!
Engagement and reach are ridiculously low right now so knowing what you guys want to see before we arrange it would be a massive help!
Thank you again to those who have helped Kai fight for his life so far, we will keep you all updated β€οΈ
