Baxter was pooping outside of the box. One day his Mummy came home to find poop everywhere and lots of blood in it. Baxter was rushed to Petvet where he was thoroughly examined. After a series of tests he was diagnosed with IBD. After a course of medication and a diet change, he is now well.
Calypso had got a bit crazy playing with her house mates and after a big crash, her Mummy noticed her limping. The next morning her Mummy was worried as she had not moved all night. She was taken to Rolling Hills Animal Hospital, where an x-ray determined the leg was unbroken, but the bone had some trauma. After pain medication and cage rest she returned home.
Mr Man is a feral cat living in a members managed colony. One day he appeared with a very large abscess on his face. Mr Man went to Able Animal Hospital and had surgery to drain, clean and stitch his wound. He was also neutered at the same time. He is now back living with his colony mates.
Simba had been newly adopted and was found to be severely dehydrated and with fluctuating kidney levels. He was admitted to ICU for three days of fluids and close observation. Weirdos came together to pay his bill and get him back to his family.
Rosie was undergoing surgery for an abdominal mass. Her red blood count was low and she crashed mid surgery. Rosie was rushed to VCA where her Mummy was facing a large bill to save her, on top of the large bill she had already paid. Weirdos came together to raise hundreds of dollars to save Rosie and get her home with her family.
Drace was not feeling well. He was vomiting and had a very upset stomach and his Daddy was very worried. He took Drace to West Park Animal Hospital, but was in need of help to top up his funds to pay the bill. Weirdos came together and paid for Drace to have an x-ray, where it was determined he was badly constipated. Drace stayed in the hospital and after treatment was put on a special diet. Today he is well and happy.
Abby, Twizzler, and Gizmo suddenly came to live with me due to an unfortunate circumstance. They had not received proper care prior to me taking them in. The page helped raise money to get them seen, flea treated, dewormed, and back on track! Abby was battling a food allergy and, with the help of the members, we found the best food for her. They were supposed to be temporary at my house, but Abby sabotaged two adoption meetings and Giz and Twiz just sort of fell into the clowder perfectly. Throughout the year, the leadership team has helped me maintain Abby and cope with her behavioral issues. We are proud to announce Abby as the Weirdo Team dog and hope that you will check your calendars for a fun April Fool's joke!
- Mandi Stevens Nilla Cheatwood came to us in November 2018 when her sweet, elderly Vinny had stopped eating, had an abscess on his lower gums, was throwing up all his food, and was rapidly losing weight. At 19 years old, it was imperative that we get him seen by a vet. With the help of you weirdos, we were able to get Vinny seen at PetVet, have the abscess drained, and got him on a round of antibiotics. We were also fortunate enough that, from your donations, we were able to send Vinny baby food, vitamin supplements to help him gain weight, and a heated bed for his achy old bones. Vinny was able to spend another 6 wonderful months with his family before the Weirdos came together again to help him cross the Rainbow Bridge. Vinny will always have a special place in our hearts, and Nilla has become such a good friend to many of us here in the weirdos group. Vinny is remembered and missed every day by his family and weirdo friends.
