🐾 UPDATE ON WAFFLES FROM UC DAVIS 🐾
Our sweet Waffles is still fighting. ❤️🩹
The good news is that he is eating like a champ and going to the bathroom normally! 🙏 He does still have a fever. Thankfully, it has not gotten worse, but it continues to go up and down.
UC Davis has started him on antibiotics, but we know these can take time to start working. At this point, his doctors are fairly certain that we are dealing with some type of infectious disease (whether bacterial, fungal, or viral) and they are continuing to work toward figuring out exactly what is attacking his little body.
Because Waffles is only 5 weeks old, there is a limit to how much blood they can safely draw for testing. Today they plan to do a urinalysis to help test for a possible fungal infection without having to take more blood from him.
His doctors have told us that Waffles is a very unique case. So far, all of his littermates are still doing well even though they were exposed to the same environment. It is possible that Waffles simply has a weaker immune system and wasn’t able to fight off whatever he was exposed to the way his siblings have.
🏥 Waffles will be spending another night at UC Davis.
So far, we have had to put down $2,600 toward his care, which includes tonight’s hospitalization. His veterinary team is being incredibly thoughtful about his treatment and testing. They don’t want to spend money on tests that won’t help us get closer to a diagnosis or change his treatment plan.
❤️ THIS IS WHERE WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.
If you are able to donate, we are asking that donations be made directly to UC Davis toward Waffles’s hospital bill whenever possible. The hospital can see the funds available on his account, which helps his veterinary team determine which important testing and care we are able to move forward with.
We are a small rescue, and a $2,600+ emergency bill is a huge expense for us. Even $5, $10 or $20 adds up and gives Waffles another little piece of the care he needs.
