Marzi went into the ICU at VCA on Friday, January 8th with complications from her Airway disease. She has been struggling and has been in the Oxygen kennel since her arrival at VCA. For 3 days we thought we would have to let her go, but she would show just enough spunk to make us hesitate. Visits from many of her admirers, and especially from her favorite person Susan, helped to keep her spirits up.
Now she is finally down to only 30% oxygen instead of 50%. Wendy supplied her with her favorite liver treats and Harriette and Susan also visited with her. Yesterday, Frances made her some chicken which she ate with gusto after many days of not eating. She even poked her head out of the oxygen to look for more chicken!
We are hopeful that she will rally once again and not succumb to her airway disease and spend more happy days with us at HWAH, making us laugh at her antics and search for her when she takes her naps behind or under the furniture.
Being in the Oxygen is incredibly expensive – about $900.00 a day, and that does not include all of the diagnostics, bloodwork and 24/7 care. If anyone would like to make a donation to our medical fund in honor of Marzi that would help us to replenish our fund so we can always give our residents the care they deserve. Our bill for Miss Marzi is currently at $7,000.00. Donations can be made here. Thank you for your support; it’s the only way we can Love Them For A Lifetime!
