Donate to Help pay for kenai cremation, organized by Claryssa Roxberry

When getting a pet, you hope they pass the rainbow bridge old, happy and healthy. This is Kenai; a lazy puppy in an old body. He’s my best friend, who has the softest ears and goofiest expressions. Over the past few months he has suffered from reoccurring UTIs; little did we know it was the beginning of a painful road for him. The morning of May 27th I noticed he has some blood clots in his urine again; my immediate first thought was something more than just a UTI was going on. I called the very next morning and was told he would have to come in as an emergency due to lateness of their next available regular appointment. Kenai is a large Saint Bernard/German shepherd mix which makes vet visits much more expensive. Due the bill we had to apply for financial assistance; but were unfortunately denied. I called the vet back and they understood the gravity of his situation and our financial situation; they were able to squeeze him in on Friday, May 31st. Unfortunately when we had got to the vet they had gotten more emergent cases come in and he was rescheduled. He wasn’t able to make it to the next visit. Later that day he was displaying signs of serious pain; he was no longer able to get up and was laying a puddle of his urine. Soon after he was unable to urinate at all, just dribbling blood. I called the vet immediately, we were instructed to bring him in before the vet office even open. Upon an X-ray it was revealed he had a bladder stone blocking him. Not only did he have one stone, he had over 30 stones in his bladder. Male dogs have a bone in their reproductive organ with a hole the size of a pin; this prevents anything solid from passing through. Kenai is unable to pass these stones himself. The vet was able to push the stone back into his bladder. But he was still in critical condition, his blood work came back literally off the charts. There machine was unable to read a couple of his key blood filtering components. He needed immediate iv fluids to flush out the toxins his kidneys were unable to filter. Four hours later he was still unable to urinate on his own. There was no stone found via XRay, the vet indicated it may be from swelling as we don’t know how long the stone was stuck. He was given a high dose steroid and we were sent home with the options of a medicated food that could potentially dissolve the stones or surgery to remove them. The issue with the food is we don’t know how long he has before another stone blockage or for the food to dissolve the massive amount of stones. After being sent home he seemed stable, but when we woke up in the morning, he had dribbled a large amount of only blood and is still unable to urinate. He is in a significantly larger amount of pain now and our only option to alleviate his pain and stones is surgery. His initial emergency visit came out to just under $800. His surgery is estimated to be about $1500 but could go up. Even a dollar helps out, Kenai has been such a rock in my life; there isn’t enough space to write about him. unfortunately things took a turn for the worse over night and due to no funds, Kenai is passing the rainbow bridge Today Read more
