We know it's been quiet over here at Safe Haven as we wait for Elizabeth to close on the new building, we’ve been busy prepping for everything that’s coming up, as well as taking care of those sweet fur babies you all love so much.
Unfortunately, one of those sweet fur babies is really struggling right now. 😔 Over the past month, animal care staff noticed that Frogger had become bloated, consistently panting, and overall seemed very uncomfortable. Our animal care manager and veterinarian worked together to drain as much fluid from his abdomen as possible, and determined that Frogger has developed congestive heart failure with pleural effusion. 💔
Yesterday, we sent Frogger to Oak View Veterinary Hospital to get an echocardiogram from their mobile ultrasound veterinarian, Dr. Miller, who provides advanced diagnostic imaging. She was able to complete half of the echo before determining that the findings were so severe, she would not even be able to sedate him to complete the echo. Frogger’s health is at such a risk that he cannot be sedated again.
We are managing Frogger’s health with additional medications incorporated to his already busy routine. He is handling it like a champ 💪, but staff are watching him like a hawk. Our job now is to ensure he is comfortable while he is still with us, no matter how long that may be. 🥺
Donate $5 today for Frogger, to help us keep him as comfortable as possible, guarantee he has the medications he needs, and pay his vet bill. Every dollar helps, especially as we prepare to move into our new building. We hope Frogger sticks around to see it. 😭
