Poor Blue. Blue was found with his mom and his siblings living in a storm drain. He is the runt of the litter but he's always been off. He gains weight, then loses weight. His stomach is always bloated and he has been dewormed multiple times. At 2 months old, he weighs 1.6 lbs and has a thin layer of peach fuzz, not fur (does he have a hairless breed in him????).
Foster mom realized his private area was very large and swollen. And he didn't p*e in a stream but in drops. Then there was some puss coming out. So off to the vet he went.
He was diagnosed with a fused/tight prepuce (phimosis) causing poor urine outflow. And, because of this, his bladder is all backed up and he has a pretty bad bladder infection (hence the enlarged abdomen). Tomorrow Blue is undergoing an emergency procedure to make the hole bigger so he can p*e comfortably and completely. At 1.6 lbs, we are TERRIFIED of him going under anesthesia but he won't survive for much longer without this procedure.
We can't rescue these tiny babies without the support of our community. We are 100% donor funded. And we do not take a paycheck, every single cent goes to the animals.
If you can donate even $5 it would help us cover these costs immensely. We don't ask for money often but this was an unexpected expense that we can't say no to. All together with pre-op testing and diagnosis we're looking at $1,300 in vet bills.
Thank you to Bark Avenue Veterinary Services in Riverdale. He was at the vet last week and that vet completely missed this. This is the second complicated case we brought to them that they were able to easily (and honestly pretty affordably) diagnose.
