Earlier today my cat almost lost his life. Imgur saved him.
He was in critical condition. Here is the original post: http://imgur.com/gallery/6d6x7
I did not have the money to pay the high cost just for someone to look at him at an emergency pet hospital, let alone any further treatment.
I was ashamed and embarrassed but I had to ask, no...beg for help. I was called a scamer, a fake, I has insulted (of course I expected it, doesn't make it easier to take). But my baby Starscream was saved by the kindness in the hearts of Nobodyn0se & MadChemist89!
I promised to prove it was true, I promised to deliver. I keep my promises.
The 1st picture is of the front door of the pet clinic which I told you guys I was taking him to in the original post.
Yes, you heard me right. The same Nobodyn0se who was scamed by that a$$hat a bit back was the first to jump up and help me. And thank god he did! As I was waiting for the money to hit my paypal account from these kind souls Starscream stopped breathing. He was completely limp as I placed him in his carrier. I could hardly drive to the clinic I was crying so hard.
**This picture is of my initial intake form**
I promised pictures of everything I could (I wasn't asked btw, I happily volunteered to document everything)
Unfortunately I could not take pictures back in the treatment area. Long story short, Starscream woke up, crying out in the car, only to stop breathing again as I ran into the clinic. He was poisoned. If I had been much later he would have died. They did all sorts of work with him from blood work, flushing him out with IV fluids, catheter and unrine analysis, subcutaneous fluids to keep him well hydrated through the night. He will need a little more work and love to get back to full health but he is alive.
Continuing my delivery of proof here, here is my consent to treatment.
I now want to add that the money Nobodyn0se and our other gracious Imgurian only paid for them to see and assess him. Any and all treatment was an additional cost. Well I tearfully explained my situation, I even explained how Imgur had paid for me to be able to bring him in at all. Upon hearing this, the vet performed all tests & treatment (some costing over $200 individually) free of charge.
Here are some of his results, hard to see, im sorry, I don't have a great cell camera.
normal levels are from 20 to a maximum of 100. His were 425. Also, his blood sugar levels are supposed to be btwn 70-150. His were at 304. Like I said before, this was very serious.
I edited out my derp face here.......sry lol
On of the vet's assistants took a picture of us waiting in the lobby after Starscream had finally been returned to my arms. You see my 2 & 4 year olds were terrified at home (No they weren't home alone, I know someone will ask). They had seen there cat collapse, stop breathing, etc and I wanted them to know he was safe and alive.
Thank you Imgur, Nobodyn0se, MadChemist89....you saved my life!
Starscream is doing so much better. Obviously still has healing ahead of him but he is alive and alert again...well...more alert lol.
Words cannot express my gratitude. As I promised, I deliver.
I would never scam anyone but I completely understand people hesitation. I will never understand peoples necessity to be cruel but what can you do when people attack from behind a keyboard. I have so much love, appreciation & gratitude for you Imgur. Thank you, 1000x thank you! (Excuse my puffy eyes, there were a lot of tears involved....)
Again, here is the oroginal post: http://imgur.com/gallery/6d6x7

By the way, I hope the person that poisoned Starscream chokes on a steak or something. I hate people that poison pets like that.

Oh I can't even address my emotions towards that. we have had some trouble with new kids in the neighborhood doing some f-ed up things 1/2

to everything from people belongings to peoples pets.......the vet thinks it is most likely antifreeze or something similar to that 2/3

I kind of feel the same way about the people who were downvoting her attempts to PROVE that she wasn't scamming last night. Why do that??
EnigmaNL
Indeed.
raveyk
but we will know more once we get more test results. 3/3

One of my cats has been shot with an airgun a couple of times, no serious injuries but if I ever find the person who did it...
EnigmaNL
I can't even imagine what I'd do to a person if I discover they've been poisoning cats like this. At least Starscream will live!
extrapolatethis
This is one big reason why I won't let my cats out of the house, even though one of them really wants to go. Scared of what can happen!

Why u blur face in one and not the other? Anyhow, I'm very glad your cat made it.
raveyk
