The Battle Continues - Yoda Needs an Ultrasound & Dental
Poor Yoda's bloodwork results are in and he's anemic and it seems he has an infection somewhere in his body. He started on antibiotics and a special diet to help with his diarrhea. So far there's been no change in his symptoms and he seems very uncomfortable. He will wake up from sleep to run to the litter box, but he often doesn't make it in time. The diarrhea is crippling for him and we haven't been able to give him any relief. One of the next steps in his diagnostics would be an ultrasound - but those are very expensive.
This imaging is likely the only way we can get answers to what is causing his severe diarrhea. But we can't book his appointment until we get the cost covered. It's a hit we just can't take right now with so many animals in need.
And to make matters worse, Yoda's mouth is in terrible shape. Just yesterday one of his teeth fell out! He's been having trouble eating and his gums are significantly inflamed. He will need a dental ASAP.
Please help Yoda continue to fight and harness the force!
We're on a quest to help Yoda find out what is wrong with him. He was surrendered to a rural Virginia shelter because of chronic diarrhea. His owner had far too many cats to properly care for them and at 10 years old, Yoda found himself all alone in a shelter cage. Things seemed like they were finally on the right track when he was brought to Homeward Trails. But now that we see all of his history, we know we need to get some tests done to make sure he's in good enough shape for adoption. We want to make sure Yoda is strong enough for his next quest.
