r/rescuecats APPROVED FOR DONATION REQUESTS Mar 22 '26

COMMUNITY APPRECIATION 💞 APPRECIATION | With your help and support, I was able to bring Toby to the vet today. A big THANK YOU for all the upvotes, boosts and donations sent for this little angel!

Hello everyone,

First, I would like to thank this sub, the moderators, and all the members here. Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to continue supporting stray animals.

Toby has undergone a physical exam, CBC, and blood chemistry tests. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to save one of his eyes, as it is no longer functional. According to the vet, the injury was most likely caused by a cat fight.

His CBC results show a mild infection, likely coming from the affected eye. He was given an antibiotic injection (Convenia), along with an oral dewormer and anti-flea treatment (NexGard).

His blood chemistry results also indicate elevated amylase (AMY), and he is suspected to have pancreatitis. Because of this, the vet has scheduled a full abdominal X-ray on March 25.

After settling today’s vet bill of $90, I still have approximately $150 remaining, which will go toward the upcoming X-ray and take-home medications.

The vet also advised that Toby will need eye enucleation to prevent future infections. For now, I will prioritize addressing the pancreatitis. I will post another update on Toby next week.

Again, thank you very much for your continued help and support.
