Basil goes in for his FHO surgery on Tuesday, since the dislocated hip he suffered when he was attacked by the loose dog hasn’t stayed in the socket and the toggle pin option for surgery is just too out of budget. His skull has healed really well, which at the time has been my biggest concern. He’s got a permanent dent above the left eye now and a lumpy ear with the scar tissue, but that’s just cosmetic. The stitches are fully dissolved on the healed lacerations to his leg.
I’ll be really glad to get him through this last hurdle of his recovery, the pain management has been keeping him mobile to go in and out for potty breaks, but it’s affected his appetite so his weight has suffered.
Between the initial emergency vet visit after he was attacked, the MRI, and the follow ups, it’s run us about $6500 so far, $1300 of which y’all contributed when I initially asked for help. Thank you so so much for everything <3
I’ve got about $1800 of the ~$2300 quote for his upcoming surgery covered and can put the rest on CareCredit if needed to make sure he gets in for his surgery date either way, but if you’re interested in chipping in towards what is hopefully the last big vet procedure for Basil, my PayPal is [email protected] and Venmo is @gabriel-ogle-wilderun
