For those of you who missed out on Mark Merlino's memorial today, you can watch the whole thing here. At 3:54:55 I even get up and say a few words.
Yesterday, Joe went to the vet and after having received the results of his blood work today, he has been diagnosed with hyperthyroid disease. It is thankfully manageable, however he will be on medication for the rest of his life.
Included in this post. is a screen shot of the Email I received, explaining is diagnosis in detail. https://www.deviantart.com/stash/0iwj2rz4c2i
Those of you who have sent donations, we greatly appreciate it. All donations go toward paying off his medical expenses, including his medication.
First off, some good news! Thanks to your commissions, I have to schedule Vet apt. for my cat pm Wednesday, the 6th!
My mom also has offered to help with her emergency credit card. However, I am expected to help pay off any medical expense that goes on the card. Because of this, I started a GoFunMe https://gofund.me/d0549300
Please take the time to read the information on the GoFundMe page and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
I will be posting more update on his condition as things progress.
I've just gotten word that Mark Merlino AKA sysable has passed away.
For those of you who don't know Mark was one of the original founders of the furry fandom. he was a one of the kindest individuals you could ever meet and an amazing friend! I feel so honored and blessed to have had him in my life. I am absolutely devastated to have lost him.
A dear friend of mine is battling some serious health issues. Since December, he has suffered multiple strokes, among other things. While he is fighting to recover, it hasn't been an easy road.
Some of you might know him as Mark Merlino, who if it weren't for him, we would not have a furry fandom. He started it all, including being responsible for starting the very first furry convention, "ConFurence" He has given a lot to this fandom and now it's time for us to give back!
Please help my friends, Mark Merlino and Rod O'Riley with medical expenses. Here is a link to their GoFundMe, where you can donate as much as you want. Every little bit helps. https://gofund.me/9f0e2a09
