Hero, my 1-year-old domestic shorthair cat, have a sialocele, which is a fluid-filled mass under his tongue. He need a surgery to remove that sac! His vet said that the operation costs 5500 - 7000k Canadian Dollars, which i don't have unfortunately. He is okay for now, but the mass is getting bigger and might impede his eating and swallowing.

Thank you for supporting me throughout my tumblr career.
my friend mew's baby boy buki, at only four years old, has just been given months to live after having been found to have end stage kidney failure. we're looking for donations of any size, whatever people can spare, towards buki's hospital fees. It would mean so much, so thank you to anybody willing and able to contribute.
Listen, if you haven’t been told before, let me be the first one to tell you:
If you are working in a vet clinic alone, all by yourself, you lock the damn door.
This is especially important if you’re young and female but should apply to everybody.
It does not matter if you’re just about to open and another staff member will be there ‘soon’. It does not matter if you are expecting a client any minute now. It does not matter if it is the middle of the day because the vet is on a house call.
You are sitting, by yourself, in a building full of cash and drugs. You lock the damn door.
You can sit yourself down somewhere that you can see the door and be selective about who you let in, but otherwise you lock the damn door.
You do not want to find yourself in a FNAF situation trying to avoid the person with ill intent who walked in looking for drugs while you were out the back, or hanging up washing. You don’t want to look up after feeding a cat to realise somebody followed you in when they saw only one car in the car park.
This could be me. This could be one of my colleagues, one of my classmates, one of my friends. It’s understandable that the original owner is upset over losing her pet, but what she’s done in retaliation is despicable, as is the news station that ran this story smearing our profession. Veterinary professionals should be able to go to work without facing graphic threats of violence against them and their families in return for saving a life in an impossible situation. You wonder why veterinarians and their support staff have such obscenely high rates of depression and suicide? This is why.
If you have a pet, I’m begging you to come up with a financial plan for their veterinary care. Get pet insurance (especially if you’re getting a new puppy or kitten). Start an emergency fund. Have a credit card set aside specifically for this kind of situation. Apply to CareCredit or a charitable fund like the University of Tennessee’s AlignCare if you find yourself unable to cover a bill. Most people don’t have immediate access to $10,000 (which is a reasonable price for the intense level of care this puppy required), so you have to have a plan. And don’t go buy an expensive purebred puppy and then claim you don’t have any money for vet care.
Be kind to your veterinarian. We are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt from our education while making far less than our human healthcare counterparts. If we were in it for the money, we would have chosen any other career.
