MSPCA-Angell’s Post

Emmy is a sweet, chirpy, and affectionate girl who gave her owners quite the scare shortly after they adopted her when she began vomiting nonstop and had very low energy levels. She was brought to Angell's ER in Boston to figure out what was going on and to get her feeling better ASAP. Her initial test results did not show any obvious cause for her symptoms, so she was given an anti-nausea injection and sent home with fluids to rehydrate her. A few days later, she returned to our ER because her symptoms were not improving. Our team was concerned she had eaten something she shouldn't have and recommended getting a better look at her abdomen with an ultrasound and, ultimately, exploratory surgery. Emmy's owners were committed to treating her, but were faced with financial limitations and unsure how to proceed. Emmy's doctors were able to secure financial assistance through our new Winston Fund to cover the cost of the procedure. The Winston Fund was established to help cover the cost of care for critically ill or injured cats who come to us in need of specialized treatment and a little extra financial support during trying times. Emmy had surgery in Boston, and foreign material was removed. Since returning home, her family has shared that she has been doing well and is a very happy girl. Go Emmy!
