🚨 Bagel had an unexpected trip to the emergency vet last night and we really need help with his $600 bill! 🚨
Yesterday morning I noticed Bagel’s only eye was watery. I assumed he was developing an eye or upper respiratory infection, so I started antibiotics and didn't think much of it. It got worse VERY fast which is not normal so I made him an appointment at my regular vet for today. As the day went on, he got WAY WORSE. By 6pm his face was swollen, there was blood and pus pouring from his eye and nose and he had a huge lump on his forehead. I had never seen this happen before so I panicked and immediately put him in the car then headed to the emergency vet.
It turns out Bagel has an abscess on his forehead. What I thought was nasal and eye discharge was actually pus/blood draining from the infection. The vet couldn’t find an obvious cause and believes it may have started from a small scratch, with the infection building for quite some time before I could see any signs.
Bagel was also very dehydrated so he must not have been drinking water or eating much and they gave him sub q fluids via IV.
For the next two weeks Bagel has to stay crated, wear a cone, and take two different antibiotics while we make sure this infection clears completely.
Unfortunately, this emergency visit came at a really difficult time for me. I’m already not accepting new fosters because I need to catch up on existing bills, and the low-cost clinic I use has closed.
I can't afford this bill right now! If you’re able to help Bagel, even a few dollars would help! Small donations add up quickly when people come together!
