Emergency surgery on Gyni's mouth palate

€ 380 van € 2.100 opgehaald
het verhaal

Like any animal, I know cats are a companion that need their medical care to be insured. I also am aware that should they require veterinary care, that the costs can spiral quickly. Sunday evening August 8th 2021 my worst nightmare came true..

#TriggerWarning #CatInjury #Surgery #TheNetherlands

Gyni fell from 3 stories high. She had been brought to Evidensia Spoed- & Verwijskliniek voor Dieren in Barendrecht at Blijdrop- West 12 by the Dierenambulance Rotterdam En Omgeving with a gaping tear in the palate of her mouth! 

Wednesday August 11th, 12:30 pm she undergoes surgery at Caressa Dierenziekenhuis in Rotterdam at de Goudse Singel 97. 

At 8:30 am my cat had been dispatched from Evidensia Spoed- & Verwijskliniek. They charged € 1013,35 euros and then Gyni was able to be relocated to a different clinic by the animal ambulance for surgery at noon. Unfortunately this was the case because the procedure would have been too expensive when in urgent care. Instead, Caressa Dierenziekenhuis charged me € 439,21 euros for the surgery. After that, at 7:00 pm I was again present with the ambulance to pick her up and finally bring her home

All of this amounts up to € 2100,- euros more or less. This is excluding the three ambulance rides.

Currently she is over two weeks of surgery under extensive supervision.😣 Friday August 13th I noticed what I think is swelling on her right-side abdomen. I am not sure if this is what I had been looking at ever since I had gotten the abdominal scans... - [see picture 2]

Gyni has sustained blunt trauma to her head and chest. No head fractures have been identified upon physical examination:

• wheezing with blood coming from mouth and nose 

• a swollen head 

• bloody tearing from right eye 

• cardiac murmur (not present anymore, possibly stress related)

X- rays have been done only on her chest, but I have had to postpone the pictures on her head because of the costs at the emergency clinic. Her check-up with Caressa Dierenziekenhuis was two weeks post operation.  

Neurological results right after the incident show no particularities:

• a tear in mouth palate of oral cavity (head trauma) 

• a mild lung contusion (chest trauma) - [see picture 1]

• no neurological complaints at the moment 


My cat has been losing weight ever since the accident because of not being able to eat or digest food properly.

At the post operative check up I started realizing that fractures have been missed in her skull and left frontal paw. I suspect: 

•broken or dislocated jaw

•break or tear in the nasal or buccal cavity

•fracture and or tear in left front paw

She will be going to Caressa for another consultation for referral to emergency clinic. In urgent care she will be getting paw X-rays and CT scans done on her head for further advice on how to proceed.

My observations:

• teeth grinding when eating + tearing from right eye

• swollen nose bridge + hole in mouth palate + sneeze/coughing and wheezing behavior because of liquids flowing out of her nose when drinking

• limping when walking

• muscle tremors when laying down

Faced with this unexpected situation, I have been forced to reach out for your support in raising money to help pay for Gyni her treatments and the associated postoperative costs. All invoices for surgery + care will be uploaded.

If someone has it in their heart to help despite their circumstances...📿

I would sincerely appreciate it!
