Baileys gallbladder surgery
Donation protected
After Christmas Bailey started urinating blood, after numerous vet appointments, urine samples and scans they discovered he had bladder stones. Bailey had these removed in January 2019 and we sent the bladder stones off for biopsy, the results came back with two sets of crystals, these cause the stone formation..one which is usually caused by diet and a genetic crystal which he would have to manage for life ... we have now put Bailey on a diet bladder food, at this time the vet suggested more blood samples, on the results of this test it emerged that Bailey has high liver enzymes which are abnormal, so again we had another scan and a liver biopsy was carried out at the same time, the results of the scan have shown a large mass in the gallbladder. This could be a fatty mass of stones etc or a tumour. The results from the liver biopsy have also been discussed today and his liver enzymes are still high and the liver is highly inflamed, his vet is concerned that the mass in the gallbladder is causing this. We also do not know if the tumour/mass is cancerous and they do not want to do a biopsy as it could spread the cells...,
The vet has recommended that he has surgery to remove his gallbladder.. and sooner rather than later if the mass grows and Bailey cannot urinate it will be classed as a medical emergency and we do not want this to happen to him, or to be rushed into theatre too ill.. we have paid all of Baileys vet bills up to date ..up to date over £2300. (In jan/Feb) but we have not prepared for this bill... they have said around £3000 for surgery and medicines after the surgery, as he would then need more tests and samples and a different diet.. Bailey has severe allergies and his allergic to most things even grass and certain foods so he is on medication daily to keep these at bay his monthly medication bill is £50- £80 depending on the season, and again these are paid up to date,
we feel that we have no choice than to ask for help to help him get through this rough health patch and we would be truly greatful for any donation to help save his life. He is only 4 years old and basic got the rest of life to live..
Thank you for reading Baileys story.
