Chappell, NE • Nebraska Loves Cats

Eight Month Old Scrappy is in need of anti-viral treatment to save his life. We must raise 400 dollars per week to pay for his medicine, and his veterinary care at White Bluffs Vet Clinic, After several weeks of slowly progressing neurological symptoms that have impaired his vision, & ability to walk- we are fully committed to save him with treatment He was not able to stand up without falling down, and he appeared comatosed after sedation meds.phenobarbital), and pain meds. One thing that he has maintained - even during heavy sedation periods-is a healthy appetite, and normal stools We are elated to report that he took a turn for the better, yesterday afternoon, about three hours after his third anti- viral shot, Since beginning treatment, He is walking and jumping around playing, appears to have some eyesight restored and has very little suezure activity, improved balance, energy, alertness, healthy appetite, normal stools, less head tilting, and no more circling.. He has a very good chance to beat what we suspect is FIP. In order for his treatment to be effective, he cannot miss meds. He must have antiviral treatment for 2 months. We started with injections at our vet, and we would like to begin treating him with daily capsules that are 15 dollars each. Scrappy requires 2 ml of antiviral GS-441524 for injections, or 4 capsules. Capsules of the antuviral are 15 dollars each. Our vet charges an additional 25 dollars for each injectiin at the clinic. We cannot save Scrappy without your help. And we cannot miss one day of treatment for the next two months. We are now starting Week Two, He is doing hreat and it is now apparent the treament will save hom, if we can continue to afford it
