We promised some updates and we have a major update to share on sweetie Kai. Last weekend before Thanksgiving he went into respiratory distress, thankfully I have supplies on hand for emergencies like this. However I was incredibly disappointed to find that the handheld nebulizer that was loaned out to a former foster was EMPTY! I like to be prepared and I still had access to tabletop nebulizer. So Kai was able to get treatment asap. This continued for a few days, giving him treatment and I also started him on oral antibiotics. Once we got him to our vet for full diagnostics he was still struggling. We had him on nebulizer treatments, oxygen in the incubator and oral antibiotics. Our fear was this was asthma, however after his x-rays it was clear it was pneumonia. Which he was already on the correct treatments for, but we did add on another stronger antibiotic. So here we are about a week and a half into treatments and Kai is showing some improvement. π The last photo is of him this morning while he was out of the oxygen chamber for a break. He goes in the incubator several times a day for a few hours, there he receives nebulizer treatment and he receives oxygen supplementation. He also is in the incubator overnight for oxygen as he can't go too long without it still. When he was at the vet, there was a moment where we didn't know if he would make it back home, without portable oxygen or a proper chamber at the vet and approaching the holiday he couldn't stay there. I took the chance and drove him home, when we got back home he was turning blue. There is no doubt in my mind we would have either racked up quite the emergency bill at an emergency vet since he needs oxygen or worse lost Kai without our supplies and lifesaving medial equipment.
πThank you for helping us have this equipment, for helping us maintain the equipment and to ensure we have proper supplies on hand. π
