Update on Mae
Little Mae may have caught a lucky break. Our vet suspected a nasal tumor because of the resistance her infection showed to all antibiotics. We sent her to Gulf Coast to see what the situation was.
Dr. Heidi Hottinger, probably the best soft tissue surgeon in the state, took her case since we thought we would have to remove a tumor.
We went forward with the CT scan because of the urgency of her condition. I told everyone that all of you would not want us to wait and that we would find a way to pay for her scan.
Dr. Hottinger found a place in her nasal cavity that looked bad, but not necessarily a tumor. She obtained several samples and sent them off to the lab for biopsy and we’ll know for certain on Wednesday or Thursday.
In the mean time, we still need funds to pay for her procedure. As a matter of fact, the bill was quite a bit higher than anticipated since they took all the tissue samples and sent them for biopsy. The total was $2130.
To date, Tuesday 5:30 am CST, we have raised $305 for her. Mae sends thanks to Pat Heitman, Valerie Newman (HI!!), Janet Bello, Anna Dee Lastick, Tom Propst in memory of Little Bear, Anon in honor of Catharine Harper.
