Beepers update: he went under anesthesia today and needs further surgery…

Beepers.. ugh he is my boy but now I’m in a tough spot.

He went to an unscheduled vet appt Monday because he was vomiting and wasn’t eating. The newest meds (antibiotic and antihistamine) were making him sicker. He stayed the day for fluids since he lost 8 oz on his 3 lb body. My vet has done as much as she can do. She put him under to hopefully remove a nasal polyp but it was clear and not in the palate. He has lots of mucus in his ears and she thinks there is polyps in his middle\inner ear. This bulla surgery is pricey. Diagnosing to get this surgery is as pricey as the surgery. He needs a CT scan to get a diagnosis to get referred to a specialist who can do this. Right now we are doing steroids to keep swelling down so he can breathe without hyperventilating. The other option is an NSAID that causes a lot of kidney damage. Sigh…

I’m just in this spot. Like the surgery is $5-6k at the research university hospital 30 minutes away. I found another option 4 hours away that can do the surgery for $1000 but I have to come with a referral and CT scan completed. $1500 is what I have found for the cost of the scan.

I love Beepers so much. I’m looking into options of how this will play out. I really need yall to send good vibes and thoughts. I hate this. I can’t afford $2500 and I’m feeling broken and defeated. I wanted to keep you all updated on him and I have been avoiding posting because of this wall we have hit.

Go Beepers! I love u my friend.
