🚨 URGENT 🚨 Emergency Fundraiser for gorgeous Jack O’Lantern 💔🐾
We just can’t seem to catch a break... 💔 Just as we were celebrating getting sweet Cassie home, long-term foster boy Jack O’Lantern found himself in a terrifying situation. Jack escaped on Friday night and returned home with a severe, gaping abdominal wound.
He was rushed straight to UQ VETS Gatton Emergency for assessment where he underwent surgery to clean, debride, and repair a deep 7cm wound and insert a drainage tube. The vet team think he has found himself in a precarious situation and was injured while freeing himself.
While initial estimates were lower, Jack’s temperature and heart rate spiked overnight, and he requires extended ER care, scans to monitor for fluid build up, pain relief, and IV antibiotics. His hospital stay through to Monday morning is currently at $1,946—with costs likely to rise if he needs further tests or hospitalisation.
Thanks to your incredible generosity for Cassie last week, we had a buffer that we hoped would cover Jack’s care. However, with his extra stay and ongoing treatment, his bill has already exceeded our reserves.
If you can spare a few dollars to help us cover Jack’s ER stay, he and our team would be forever grateful.
