And I am dying inside. Ican't even think logically at the moment.
The vet did a urine test this morning and the entire tube was almost completely sand. His pee was solid red too. He's going into kidney failure again, but this time the vet has run out of options. He's back on antibiotics and more urine acidifiers but he's only getting worse.As of this morning, he's back to grinding his teeth and shaking in a corner. I am heart broken.
The vet said he's out of options and clues and my only option is to bring him to the LSU Vet School. They are one of the top veterinarian clinics in the country, and also one of the most expensive. People walkout of there with bills in the thousands.
LSU is usually alast resort for nearly anyone with an animal that haschronic problems. I would take Chance in a heartbeat, but I need about $600 - $700 for the visit and tests. Money that I just don't have. I spent the day talking to Care Credit and every other 'help' place, and was turned down the second I said I didn't have a job. They'll help you, but only if you're employed, have proof, ect.I talked to a bank about a loan but my credit is bad, I looked into a cash advance, but I'm not employed. Everywhere I turned was a brick wall.
Chance is due back to the vet on Monday for one last test, then we are driving down to New Orleans, which is about 4 hours from where I live now, to see a vet recommended by the HRS. He's expensive but is supposed to be a pretty good exotics vet. They agreed to take a look at all the tests MY vet performed and to see what they can do/figure out. They said they aren't hopeful after looking at the paperwork and seeing what has been done already.
They also agreed with my vet, he needs someone higher up such as LSU,who have way more tests, tools, and field of expertise with exotic rabbit problems.
After all that, the vet and I talked about if the tests just continue to get worse Monday, and Chance is still in continuous pain, we may just have him euthanized. It kills me, but seeing him in so much pain and there's nothing that can be done is just as heart breaking.
I've held him and kissed him all day, and I am just... dying inside.
I can't even afford the New Orleans vet, but I am selling everything I own and can think of on eBay tonight with a 3 day auction. And the NO vet agreed to post-date a check until whatever money I make comes in. I hope it's enough.
Chance has become my heart... my heart bunny. He goes everywhere with me, he follows me everywhere, we eat dinner together, we watch tv together, go to the stores together, we go car-riding together... he's become like my best friend.
I can't really think of anything else to say...
