Bailey needs a pacemaker

This cute little guy has a second degree heart block and needs a pacemaker. He nearly died on me last night … his heart stopped beating and he fell over! His tail poofed out, he pooped, and his lips turned blue. He looked very dead. I couldn’t hear a heartbeat, either. I put him on his back and started doing CPR on him and luckily that brought him around. The medications don’t seem to be working very well, and I can’t be with him all the time.

I know it’s a lot of money, but he is otherwise healthy and very, very sweet.

If you click on the orange ChipIn! button, you can make a donation to help pay for Bailey’s pacemaker.

Help keep his heart beating! It is a secure location, so you don’t need to worry about your information being taken. I’ve used it before and it worked well.
