Results are in! Surgery needed.
Thanks to your support, Liam was able to have his x-ray, and we now have the information we need to move forward with treating his head tilt.
The x-ray revealed a mass just behind Liam's eardrum. The location of this mass is incredibly sensitive--not every vet is equipped to handle the surgery. Removing the mass without damaging the eardrum requires a specialized surgery, and a specialized surgeon to perform the procedure.
We've reached out to the very best vets we know to find just the right one. They're ready to operate, but we will need at least $1,500 to cover the cost. Can you help?
Kitten Liam has been feeling a little topsy-turvy lately! This little guy has had a persistent head tilt, that just won't go away. We've already treated him with antibiotics, in case the tilt was a result of an inner ear infection. But no luck! He continues to tilt.
We need to see what's going on inside Liam's head, but to do so we'll need a sedated x-ray. This will let us see his skull, and understand whether there is some deformity or other thing amiss which could be treated and fixed.
The tricky thing is that we cannot schedule this procedure until we have fundraised the cost!!! PLEASE HELP! We're doing all we can, but Liam will have to wait (and tilt) until we can pay the bill before the x-ray can happen.
