Dear Andrea,

I hope you are well, and I’m sure you are being kept very busy.

I just wondered if you might be able to help with a large bill we have had for a lovely old boy we accepted from a veterinary practice.

He was handed in to them in a very emaciated state, and was so matted he had to be shaved. They tested him and found he had hyperthyroidism for which treatment was started. The larger charities had refused to take him and the vet treating him really didn’t want to put him to sleep as he has such a nice nature.

Unfortunately, he then developed an ulcer in his eye which seemed to be responding to treatment, but it then ruptured so he had to have emergency surgery and while he was under anaesthesia the vet rang and said it would be a good idea to remove part of the thyroid which means ongoing medication is no longer needed. I agreed to this as they gave a good discount for combining the two procedures.

I quite understand if you are unable to help.

Kindest regards

Chris
