Rocket needs your help!
Our sweet senior boy was recently diagnosed with anal sac tumors.
We want Rocket to be comfortable in his golden years, so we've decided to have his anal sacs removed.
Even though we have pet insurance, our deductible is $750. We're waiting for a pre-approval letter from Trupanion for our out-of-pocket expense, which includes surgery, post-op care, and medication.
However, this doesn't include time off from work to care for Rocket, follow up, and more.
So we're adding another $300 to our goal to account for those things.
That means we're looking to raise $1,500 for Rocket's surgery and recovery.
Can you donate to support Rocket?
Every little bit helps!
Our amazing team at Edgewater Animal Hospital and Oradell Animal Hospital have nothing but optimism for Rocket's surgery. His surgery is scheduled for July 10th, and we're hoping to have our boy back to his happy, healthy self in a month or so.
Here's a bit more about anal sac tumors from VCA:
"An anal sac tumor is a tumor made up of cells originating from the glands of the anal sac. The tumor usually grows quickly and has a moderate rate of spread.
One of the biggest problems with anal sac tumors is that they can spread elsewhere in the body (metastasize). Their growing size can make removal difficult. The earlier these tumors can be detected, the better for your pet...
The best and most well-described local treatment for the primary tumor is surgery."
Thank you so much for your support, and any extra funds will be donated to the ASPCA.
