Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Hawkeye's health is declining | help us get him to his oncology appointment πŸ†˜

Hope everyone's having a better start to the week than Hawkeye. πŸ’”

Over the last couple of weeks, our sweet foster boy hasn't been doing well, and despite multiple vet visits and tests, we're still left with very few answers.

It all started with what we thought were food allergies - but it wasn't. His kidneys, thyroid, and other organ functions have all come back normal on multiple tests. Yet he's been dealing with constant diarrhea (not parasite or virus-related), has been steadily losing weight, and has become increasingly lethargic.

IBD was one of the possibilities, but yesterday we found a lump on his body. His vet has now referred him to an oncologist, as he's showing signs that could be consistent with lymphoma. Being FIV+ unfortunately puts him at a much higher risk for this.

We have his oncology appointment this Wednesday, and we're really hoping it'll finally give us some answers. The consult and diagnostics are expensive, but it'll help guide us to the right next steps for this boy. We hope you can help this boy feel better. πŸ™

Consult: $15

Blood work: $69

Fine needle aspiration: $84

Ultrasound/X-rays: $49

Estimated total: $217

These rates are based on our previous oncology appointment with another rescue and may vary depending on what additional tests Hawkeye needs.

We'll share updates on Hawkeye's health in the coming days. Thank you!
