Please help Possum get out of the hospital.

Meet Possum--he has a severe UTI (no crystals, thankfully), and Flying Pigs Sanctuary started treatment right away.

And then a few days ago, he started vomiting. At first, he seemed okay, but after finding a piece of cellophane (he loves eating things he shouldn’t), they didn’t want to risk waiting. They immediately headed to the emergency clinic in Chattanooga at 9:30 PM.

The vet found his bladder to be very full and couldn’t be expressed—they suspected the infection had caused a blockage, but they also couldn’t rule out intestinal blockage, so they moved forward with hospitalization. X-Rays confirmed no intestinal blockage, and even under sedation, they were unable to express his bladder. They then had to insert a catheter, which confirmed blood in his urine. The good news is they caught it early, but he’ll need to stay hospitalized for a few more days.

Possum sleeps on his caretaker's chest every night, so not having him here is really hard. He has a dog best friend named Goose, who is also missing him dearly, as they love to cuddle. Needless to say, things feel empty without him. There’s just something special about the little man.

FPS is already at $5,100+ in medical bills, and they are still climbing. If you’re able to give any amount, it would be so greatly appreciated. They are in desperate need of your help to care for Possum, on top of the many other animals they are caring for. Thank you for your continued support.
