Kidney stones in a male are serious!

Not just painful, but dangerous.

This poor baby has kidney stones, at least one of which is very big. His mom had no idea, but in February he stopped eating normally, and then was kind of sleeping all the time, not being his normal self. So she took him to the vet for a check up, and he was suspicious it was kidney stones, did an x-ray, and yep……. stones!

Anna, his owner, didn’t have any money to pay, but was able to get Care Credit for $500.00 to pay for this exam, x-rays and medications including pain relievers.

An amazing story about Mr Bigg:

Six years ago Mr Bigg was stolen, and Anna spent months looking for him, then the shelter contacted her! Mr Bigg had a microchip and was in the shelter. You know what happened? He had ended up with an animal hoarder who the police had raided. Lots of dogs had been found and turned into the shelter! Since Mr Bigg had a chip, and Anna had registered it, the shelter was able to find her and give him back! The poor guy was so neglected, when she got him back he was only 4 pounds!! Here is the photo when he first came back home:

Financial situation

Anna is a school bus driver, and with school not in session in California it is the support staff of schools, like the bus drivers, who get hurt the most. She has had no work for a long time, and just does not have the money for this urgent surgery!

All donations here are just for Mr Bigg! And all donations are always paid only directly to the veterinarian.
