#emergency vet funds

[devilsvine]

okay cool i have your attention

a friend of mine really needs help gathering up the money for vet care for his cat. we’re very worried about both of them, this kitty means the world to him and we’re not sure how long he’ll stick around if something happens to him. (not to mention, kitty doesn’t deserve to die just because capitalism is hell.)

we estimate he’ll probably only have a few days if lucky so this is URGENT. it’s most likely liver failure. please spread this around!!

Emergency Vet Boosting

Alright so, I actually was doing everything in my fucking power to not have to do this- but I kind of am unable to do get around it now. Recently my dog has started to develop moments of muscle spasms and semi-seizure like moments where he is entirely present but his body is seemingly out of his control, the vet was originally not concerned bcs it'd happened twice and under two minutes.

However it has happened again since and we're looking at having to go to the vet, and while the insurance might cover things- we are looking at having to pay first obviously. I only get a very certain set amount of money each month and I just reasonably can't pay for the 400-500 dollar vet charges that are estimated to come my way. (My rent alone is 600 dollars, I'm on disability)

If possible whatsoever, It'd mean a great bit if people were able to donate something to help with the costs. I actively hate to do this but my boy needs blood tests done, possible urine sample and god knows what else and it's money i don't have.

My ko-fi is here . (https://ko-fi.com/archivistmaven)

And I should be posting some more kind of potential emergency commissions but I'll have to try and figure out how to get art done mid-depressive episode and all of this.

Please bear with me as I've never had to make a post like this before.

My best friend is in need of serious financial aid in regards to her gorgeous kitty, Sasha. The whole story can be found on the GoFundMe, but I'll give you a short summary:

Upon a visit to the vet to get what they thought was an injury looked at, they were told it was actually bone cancer. Injuries can sometimes "aggravate" cancers like this, but at the same time, it might be the reason why they caught it when they did, as she wasn't showing any symptoms before this injury.

Due to the insane medical prices in the US, this really is a case of if they can't get the amputation paid for, then they will have to strongly consider putting Sasha down which is devastating in itself but especially when they've had her since she was a kitten & she's 14 now! Funds will either go towards getting the amputation sorted as well as all the aftercare for that, or just to keep her as comfortable as possible for her final weeks with us. It's really sad that any life on Earth can be cut short all because of lack of funds.

Of course, if you're reading this and have no means to help financially then that's okay! But please consider reblogging & sharing around so hopefully we can find some people who are willing/able to help with this.

I'm aware there are A LOT of fake posts for GoFundMe's, especially regarding cats and animals. I'm sure once my friend has printed medical bills she'll be happy to post them on the GoFundMe page as well. But again, I understand the weariness regarding these posts so I totally understand if people aren't comfortable donating, but at this point, she has no choice but to ask for help with this, so please consider reblogging at least!

Hello! You may know me as Batwynn or Brahn from around the internets. I’ve created this Kofi fund for a friend who is in a really bad situation with their parents and must remain anonymous for their safety. Right now, their most urgent need is to get their emotional support cat and best friend to the vet. It is VERY urgent as the cat is passing some blood in her urine. EVERY donation will receive a free art from me, but you must come give me your request info via Tumblr, Instagram, twitter, etc! More info: They need funds both to get to the vet and for blood work, urine tests, and the general vet fees. The next goal will be to get them both out of the unsafe environment they are currently trapped in with their parents. Any additional donations will go directly towards moving out asap.

Important note: Some of you might know who this is for as we share a fandom, but please be aware that they need to remain anonymous for their safety and to make sure any funds they receive aren't stolen by their abusers.

As always, every little bit helps! I will keep everyone updated here and on Kofi, and please don't hesitate to message me with your donation art request! If you are unable to donate, please signal boost this as much as possible! You never know who could see it and make a HUGE difference for them!

Emergency Commission Sales

I- don’t know where to begin. 

This started as a vet bill fund, but now the situation is just- so much worse, because when I arrived at work yesterday, I was told I am being let go. They were extremely unclear as to why exactly, but as I live in an at-will state, it doesn’t really matter.

I have no job, a massive vet bill to pay, a wisdom tooth coming in, and a car with no heat going into winter. 

I don’t really know what I’m going to do beyond the immediate coverage of vet bills, because I submitted over 140 applications with no response before I finally heard back from this place- there are just more people looking for jobs than there are jobs remotely near where I live, but I can’t afford to survive, much less move. 

Financial Details: One of my cats has one, possibly two abscessed teeth that need removed. I paid $260 for a vet visit, blood work, and antibiotics. I got the quote for what surgery will cost this morning, and they are estimating between $1,175 - $1,715, depending on if he needs both teeth taken out or just one.

I have been putting off my own wisdom tooth removal while I saved up for it, because it will cost $1,100

I don’t know how much it will cost to fix the heat in my car for winter.

My monthly expenses are $460/month because the cost of my medication has gone up after my sliding scale application was denied. I still have to pay $380 of those monthly expenses for November.

As of now, if I forgo my own dental care entirely, and empty my savings entirely, that will still leave me -$851 in the red. Anything that does not go to covering this month’s expenses and Severus’s vet fees will go to either next month’s expenses, or to saving for my own dental needs.

I will be figuring out a more sustainable plan over the next few days, but my current focus is on the immediate issue in front of me.

For the immediate moment, I am offering the following:

25% off my kofi shop using the code SEVVYTEETH . This goes until the end of the month. https://ko-fi.com/skyjynx/link/SEVVYTEETH 

3 Commission Slots I will be opening 3 commission slots for ANY TYPE on my price sheet: https://skyjynx.carrd.co/#pricing Those 3 pieces will be started once I finish my current owed art [https://trello.com/b/TCd6yTnL/art-queue] (everything in ‘currently working on’) When those are all finished, I will open 3 more slots. I am more than happy to draw your OCs, your blorbos from games/tv/etc, or even spicy content (*some kinks at my discretion, but feel free to ask!)

REMINDER: Kofi & patreon subscribers have access to discounted pricing which can be found here: https://skyjynxcomms.carrd.co/ 

If you'd like to claim a commission slot you can do so by DM

If you just wanna toss some money my way, I do have a ko-fi for tips: https://ko-fi.com/skyjynx

The floor level beast needs surgery!

The vet has finally decided - and I agree - that it is time for my stinky old man Fig to have surgery. He needs his bad eye removed, and it has got significantly worse.

The quote for this is £1,886!

We brought him home at the end of October 2022 after he was picked up as a stray by a local rescue. No microchip and not neutered, he was probably the father of many litters, considering his estimated age is 10+. He's a big boy and a former bruiser, considering all of his scars.

The highest he ever seems to jump is the bed (although this is more of a climb) and he has never been a lap cat, but he loves to lay close to you. His best trick is sitting on his back legs, waving a paw when he wants treats. He *really* likes his treats!

These days, he is a spoilt baby, going between his boxes in the living room and the bed. Throwing cat litter across the floor every chance he gets.

He is completely blind in his left eye, and the lens is detached. It has also developed a film that has only got worse this past month. At the last checkup, the vet confirmed that it had swollen further.

The surgeries will happen. When we set out to get a cat, we initially went looking for an older one to give it the best remaining years we could.

Any help with the cost of Fig's surgery is greatly appreciated.

Hemophiliac Dog in Need of Donations

Hi all,

Any of you who know me in real life know that animals are a huge part of my world, and I tend to take on the ones who need a little extra TLC.

A little over a year ago, I posted on here asking for some assistance with an emergency situation with one of my dogs, Rufio, who ended up getting a diagnosis of EPI. I’m happy to report that we now have his situation under control and he is doing so much better!

Unfortunately, we have had another emergency come up with Patrick, my hemophiliac dog.

This was Patrick as a baby. Animal control brought him in after finding him wandering on the streets with a large lump the size of a potato on his back between the shoulder blades. When I was fostering him, the vets initially thought it might be a tumor or something and sought to operate. It turned out to just be a giant hematoma (basically a bruise) instead and he nearly bled out from the surgery. It took three blood transfusions to get him stable. Hemophilia, however, isn’t super common in dogs so that’s not immediately where their minds went.

Fast forward a few months to when the rescue did his neuter…and he almost bled out AGAIN. Neuters are usually quick and simple and heal up easily. He bled for three days. I had pee pads soaked through with blood. Parts of my house looked like a murder scene. This was even AFTER the vets had tried cauterizing and stapling the area. It just WOULD NOT stop bleeding. His entire underside turned BLACK from all the bruising. (The pic below is from a later bruise but you can get the idea.)

Patrick has been fortunate in that since we adopted him, most of his issues have been manageable at our local vet up until this point. A few days ago, however, my hyper, lovable goofball who usually will dash for a piece of food the second it hits the floor decided that he did not feel like getting up for breakfast.

He went from “I am going to drag mom after this squirrel across the yard” to “I don’t want to even get up to pee unless I REALLY have to.” And then he stopped showing interest in CHICKEN. And even though there weren’t any outward signs of a bleed, I knew something was VERY wrong. We rushed him to the emergency vet yesterday where they did a bunch of imaging (x-rays, ultrasounds, and a CT) to determine the possible cause of the bleed in his abdomen and gave him some much-needed blood transfusions and cryoprecipitate.

He’s on the mend and will hopefully be coming home soon…but the total cost for this is going to be somewhere between $6,000 and $10,000. Fortunately, the rescue we worked with when fostering him—Too Broke Girls Dog Rescue basked out of upstate South Carolina—has been willing to help fundraise. If you can help donate ANYTHING we would be incredibly grateful. You can donate directly to the rescue’s PayPal (toobrokegirls19@gmail.com) or Venmo (@toobrokegirls) and specify that it’s for Patrick. You can also go to their Facebook page and use the donate button on a post they shared about him.

Don’t know if anyone can help but I appreciate anything.

My commissions are open as well.

The am seeing more people share about Aries and just…. Thank you. THANK YOU.

For those new to the situation: My emotional support animal, Aries, had a urinary blockage. He had to have an emergency procedure because his life was at risk, and it was successful! But he now has to have surgery and that is the current focus.

The vet has said donations can be made directly. I’ve made a gofundme, I’ve made a waggle, all just to make sure I can bring my baby home. Here’s all the info:

Hi guys, so my kitten Gravel was rushed to the Emergency Vet tonight because he managed to tear a hole in the skin of his belly :(

He is awaiting surgery first thing tomorrow morning, and is currently on painkillers and antibiotics. It would be really freaking awesome if people could donate or share the link to my gofundme and help us pay for this surgery.

I hate asking on socials like this, but I’m afraid I don’t really have a choice.

We’re not sure what this is going to cost, so we’ve set the goal at $1000.

Thank you in advance

Below are some pictures of my sweet, silly boy

[cravingcraze]

Hello! Please help save this kitten, Nova! She was born with a birth defect hernia that is affecting her quality of life. Her brother, Nimbus, is bonded to her and they have been together since they were strays. It would mean the world to me and my friend no matter how much you have to offer.

Even if you can’t do anything, sharing this around will help tremendously.

I hate to ask this but I've just been hit with a sudden vet bill I can't afford, my dog fell off the bed yesterday morning and started having symptoms of a fever and very weak leg/hip muscles. he won't stand, walk, or eat

his fever is 106⁰ (a normal temperature would be 100-102⁰) and we need to test his kidneys, he may start having seizures if his temperature can't be brought down.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me, I can even draw requests for $10 if anyone wants it. I have Venmo and Cashapp, I do not have a gofundme set up

unfortunately what we can spend on the bill will completely deplete all of our money, other than food stamps which are about $90 for the two of us (myself and my roommate) so we won't be able to afford my phone bill, Con Ed bill (electricity) or more food and travel expenses for doctors appointments

Duke is my EMS and my roommate and i are both disabled, I am currently trying to find work but it's difficult

if anyone is willing to set up a gofundme (if the rule about not being able to set up your own is still a thing?) I would greatly appreciate it, I don't know what thr alternative to his medical care would be and I'm worried we may have to euthanize him, thank you if anyone helps

[mxstly-melancholy]

I know this is a long shot. but I’m desperate. my hedgehog is going to be going to the vet Friday and most likely is going to need surgery to remove a lump that is a bacterial infection and I have no money. I spent all of my money recently putting my old cat down. I have been looking for a job for months, but no one will hire. im not looking to post a sob story in hopes people will feel bad for me, but I am asking for a donation in regards to vet bills. anything I get is immediately going towards my hedgehog. anything will help. thank you.

[swagging-back-to]

Helloooo dear tysm for rebloging i know tumblr is a bad place to ask some aid for an donation etc, cause of scam blogs spreading but i can't blame them but anyways no drama thankyou, i appreciate you!❤️ Too bad the surgery was moved due financial problem.

so sorry to hear that! if you dont mind me asking, what's the surgery for? She looks like she should be in perfect health, but i know that outward appearance can be deceiving. especially for cats.

[dandelions-and-white-wolves]

It’s that time of year where I make a desperate bid for help for my poor medically fragile beautiful son. Anything helps.
