Hello again Tortoise Friends!
I have an absolutely amazing update for you! As some of you know Gaia has been struggling with multiple issues, anorexia, massive abscess, fungal infiltrate and a huge urolith that has been ever present but has always taken the back burner of more pressing issues.
Her most recent blood work looked bleak an increase in liver values suggesting the beginning of liver failure. I was heartbroken, the bladder stones presence here has directly influenced this causing an increase in Uric acid and dehydration.
The decision was made that it had to go as soon as possible! Unfortunately my clinic does not have all the equipment required to do this and I really didn't have $3000 laying around.
Then the amazing happened!
Her DVM called around to a few surgeons she knew had just been Board Certified and one right up the street from us said he would do the surgery...FOR FREE!
I am elated to say the least! Not only will my girl be getting her stone removed but it will be by a board certified surgeon with state of the art equipment and myself and her DVM will be able to be present during the procedure! I will take lots of pictures for you guys of course! I am entirely besides myself right now!
I hope you all are having a marvelous day!
