I feel aweful pushing this, but I will keep doing so for the sake of Kira! I have updated the GoFundMe with all the new information, and if anyone could share. I would be forever grateful (and I am insanely appreciative to everyone who has so far, THANK YOU!!!) gofund.me/cac499761

Hi there! (TLDR at end!) (Update 3/08/2026. = Kira has been admitted back into ho… Kristy Brodie needs your support for Please Help little Kira Rocover!

Kira is back in hospital. My vets are super caring and are going to help me out by charging at only only cost for some things. They are going to try different treatments for various things to seebif something sticks. If not she will have to undergo surgery to open stomach to get biopisies done.

Kira hasn't eaten in 2 days again, in pain & doing this constantly. Called the vet & just broke down crying. The main vet isnt in yet so they are going to call back, & im going to ask them to keep her a few days. Cause this isnt working. Will cost me thousands, im just going to beg for payment plan.

Still trying desperately to get work done between everything else, as oddities is looming. Have a early WIP of the bunny base I am working on. This will be a sitting doll in my "Goblin" range. And will have Jackalope, and Wolpertinger variations!

Im just a fucking loss what to do. Kira is just back to vomiting constantly, not eating, lethargic and now drooling. She's on carafate and anti nausea. But nothing seems to be fucking working. Im afraid I may actually lose her, there's nothing else I can do within my means anymore.

Really good conversation about AI's hype, economic harms, and scammy nature in general. It covers a lot of stuff here, including it's weird cultivation of a class of entitlement. youtu.be/kmcnO8s68ec?...

Visited the vet with Kira again today. She's lost half a kilo and is still vomiting w/a bit of a temp/sore stomach. He has placed her on some new anti nausea meds, and carafate to see if this helps. He also supplied me with Crocodile loaf which is supposed to be easy on the gut (she loves it).

Hi all! Kira has been progressively getting worse since discharge, and as I am out of all options financially I have opened a Gofundme as a few have suggested to do. Please share if you can, and thank you so much if you are able to help! (All info on the fundme page) gofund.me/cba3a7bb1

Annnd kira is vomiting again X_c I am going to have to call the vet in the morning, this is 11 days now of barely eating and if this starts up again I don't know if she can handle it much longer.

Kira woke up feeling much better today. Enough to roll outside in the sun! (She looks so strange with the shaved belly lol). She ate a tiny bit of chicken again and some water. So I think the newmeds are finally doing the job!

Kira was able to stay home today :D She ate a tiny bit of food and water, and has only vomited twice. Fingers crossed this means she is stabilising!

Spoke with my reg vet again. The current plan is to see if we can get her eating and drinking for another day. Picked up some new medication to trial. If she can't keep water down or eat by tomorrow she will be admitted back in for IV treatment in hospital for a few days.

Kira has just been back to vomiting all night. I feel a bit at a loss. Reg vet sent me to specialist cause they thought she needed endoscopy. New one charged me almost 4k for overnight stay on drip & a ultrasound (my reg vet had already done). Told me nothing in there, meds and home. They said she-

Just got Kira back home, after a full week of hospital stays (how did this week vanish so fast!) She started being ill and stopped eating on Monday, and has finally eaten some small meals today/sat. She is looking much brighter, so they wanted to see how she goes at home!

Haven't had time to work on anything this week with everything going on. So have a old dragon sketch that I made while testing out the Paint Storm program 4 years ago. (I need to test it again sometime.)

Picked up Kira and taking her to the city to be admitted in as a emergency for her further tests/endoscopy

Vet updated me on Kira. She had a ultrasound and it showed she has incredible thickening around the lining of her stomach. And nothing is passing through. She needs to see a specialist and have a endoscopy and extensive tests. Ive been given a rough ballpark of 7k or more. I am falling apart.

Going have to take Kira back in. Super not herself walking around listlessly. Hasn't eaten all night since discharge and has been throwing up water still...this is gonna be a expensive vet bill, I think I will be using all my savings X_x already over 1k. But I need my baby feeling better

Had to rush Kira to the vet just now. She's been vomiting black bile all night and passed black stool. I think, and the vet thinks too that she has internal bleeding somewhere in the gut, so she is currently undergoing bloodwork's and IV treatment. I hated leaving her there ;_;

This is just exhausting. Not only does slop invade every aspect of our lives and livelihoods by pillaging then drowning out our legit work. Then this shit. Ive seen a lot of people talk about "ditching Insta" ect. But where does it end? In this economy online we need to be seen more then ever.

Meta have now started adding this label to almost all of my Instagram posts. I give up. Fuck it.

Hi all! I have just been made aware that yet another acc over on Twitter has been offering commissions using my artwork as one of the examples. Just so it's clear while my old ACC exists there still so I can keep an eye on stuff like that I DO NOT USE TWITTER. I left way back when it was bought out

Someone was absolutely baffled that I have never used chat GPT for anything (their worldview just assumed everyone used it I guess.) What have we as a species become, if people are THIS apparently dependent on barely released, broken tech already <_> I'll write my own emails thanks, lol.

What an amazing first day for Winterfest Hawksbury! The creatures are having a well deserved rest, and will be ready to meet you all again tomorrow morning! See you then! (Pictured is a Moss Grat doll. Who has a articulated necks, arms and tail! He and others will be up for adoption tomorrow!)

It's funny. When early AI gen started being a thing, I actually wasn't fully against ethical datasets...But the attitudes of the companies creating this tech & the disgusting behaviour of their target audience/users proved to me. That it would always be destructive. I hope this entire industry dies.

"AI is inevitable!! It's here to stay!! Can't put the genie back in the bottle!! You can't stop progress!!! But uhhhh... if we had to legally obtain the resources needed to run our business AND unless we make trillions in profits AND unless you give up your drinking water, we're kinda toast 🥺"

For the first time in forever, I will have a limited range of Bouquet (and standard non decorated) antlers available this weekend at Winterfest medieval faire! These headbands are lightweight and comfortable, for all your Ren fair frolicking!

If I was to make a Pokemon fan art doll, what would be the top choices you think? (My natural choices would be eeveeloutions but happy to hear what people think!)

Just a reminder that I will be taking a break from commission based events next year. As much as I absolutely love attending fur cons, I have found I have been burnt out and struggling with my massive schedules this year. This along with my recent health scare, I have decided this was best :)

"MmMmmm!" I particularly love this photo of my new Skeksis art doll for some reason :)

Some of the proper photos I was able to get of my new "Skeksis Hatchling" #ArtDoll 's I just got done! Based on SkekSil from my fave movie of all time #TheDarkCrystal ! These will be available at my upcoming conventions ( Including 2 at Perth @supanovaexpo.bsky.social this weekend!)
