[coccoliths] An Unusual Request

[Dr. Stacia A. Spaulding/Dr. Jonathan A. Rice]

Hello everybody,

I apologize in advance for being obnoxious and impertinent, but I can't come up with another option.

An unknown rat bastard in Houston shot one of Jackie Lees’ cats last week. Poor Blondie has been through the wringer. After a few visits to the regular vet with no improvement, Jackie took her to the emergency animal hospital where they finally discovered the source of the problem. Blondie underwent surgery to remove the pellet (see photo below) and had several inches of her small intestine removed. She required a feeding tube through her nose for a few days (see photo below), as well as a blood transfusion. The good news is that she finally was allowed to go home yesterday (see photo below).

The bad news is the vet bills are now at $11,871.29. It’s hard to imagine being faced with that kind of unexpected debt because of the unconscionable actions of a so-called “neighbor." But it’s a worse thing to have to make the decision to stop the medical care that is saving your pet’s life. Before you know what’s happened, you’re past the point of no return...

The GoFundMe page and PayPal donations have raised about $4000 thus far. Jackie and Blondie are so very grateful for all of the donations. 

If any of you would like to make a contribution, the GoFundMe page is here: https://gofund.me/8cbdebb7 <https://gofund.me/8cbdebb7?fbclid=IwAR2HoHMIg-5cOW3ULQy2SWJuZ1y6phuPa4Os2gHIZhBOECdPmtgOzq2GJlc>.

Thanks for your consideration,

Stacia Spaulding and Sophie and Jasper (my furry felines)
