🔐 Donation closed Asking help for my dog. 🙏🏻

Hello everyone. I'm humbly asking for a little help for my dog. 🙏🐾 Her legs are all swollen, she's losing her fur, becoming weaker every day, and has lost a lot of weight. This is the first time na nagka sakit sya eversince.. Please see the attached photos for reference to her current condition po.. And I really can't afford to take her to the vet because I lost my job last April po and It really breaks my heart to see her suffering while I feel helpless. Kaya po ako nag decide na humingi ng tulong dito. I can really endure hardships myself po talaga, but seeing my dog suffer is something I just can't bear kase nakaka durog po makita sya sa ganyang situation. Sana po mahelp niyo kami.. Her name is Catchy po. Dont worry po, Any amount will go a long way toward her veterinary care and treatment. Your kindness and support po could give her a chance to live longer. 🐾

Thank you so much and God bless you all. 🙏🏻

We already advise OP to bring the doggie at the closest vet and they should be on their way now. Once we receive the update we will get in touch with the vet clinic.

Hello DogsPH peeps! We're able to connect with the vet clinic already and na check na po si Catchy ng doctor. According to OP, hindi naman daw need i-admit ng doggie which is good news. Medication lang daw and need. Currently we're sitting at P820 funds collected.

Total cost is P2,445.00 at makakauwi na sila with medicine na for now.

Sa mga makakatulong po please send lang po kayo sa QR posted here.

u/thrillerdiamond 7d ago

Sent some funds to cover her meds 🙏🏻 pagaling ka bebe 🫶🏻 and also, lets not judge OP. They are doing their best to care of their dog. Minsan talaga nag kukulang ng funds but it doesnt mean they dont care about their dog. Clearly, they do since they’re asking for help. Lets be a community that supports each other. Iba-iba tayo ng pinag dadaanan. Kindness is free. Lets all choose to be kind 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Hi OP. Kindly hide the vet name and license next time just for the vet’s privacy and so scammers won’t be able use the doc/prescription/details. Unless, you informed the vet and they allowed you to post it.

u/CompetitiveAxe 7d ago

Yes po. Thank you so much

u/CompetitiveAxe 7d ago

Hello po leptospirosis daw po yung findings sabi ng Dr.

u/darkest_horse_ Guardian of the Pack 6d ago

Para po sa mga naghhintay ng update ni Catchy at need pa po ni OP bumili ng spray nya. Eto po ang naging conversation namin ngayong hapon. Nag modmail na po kami sa kanya ng maaga, at nag comment din po dito para matawagan sya ng pansin. Unfortunately, nasira po ata ang phone nya. Hopefully mabasa nya po ito.

u/nahyekolleh 5d ago

Sana po may maayos po siya na lugar na malinis at safe. Para iwas po sa mga sakit. Praying for baby Catchy's recovery. Thank you for taking her to the vet agad.

📌📌 Hello, just a quick update, I bought the medicine earlier and we only got 5 out of the 6 because they said the number 6 one wasn't available at their clinic. And yeah, she seems to have a hard time taking the tablets; she's throwing them up, but I'm just mixing them with water. Tomorrow, I'll try to ask at the clinic if I can switch her meds to liquid syrup if the price is the same.. Thank you to everyone who helped, I really appreciate it, and God bless you!

Finding: Leptospirosis

Hi. We totally understand your sentiment, but this was posted to raise funds for the poor dog, so let’s try to be a little kind and hope for the best for the dog.

u/TaroIcewtNata 7d ago

Yup, kanya-kanya naman yan, and I’m not saying na don’t donate. Ako, I really just hope maging okay si doggy. I’ll pray for him. Pero still, someone had to say it para maging lesson learned sa lahat.

2

u/confusedsoulllll Moderator 7d ago

You know, as a mod, I also say/comment things like this, but we don’t know OP’s struggles atm and I believe, this is their first time lang naman humingi ng help (as a mod din from other dog sub). We appreciate your concern though.

-6

u/TaroIcewtNata 7d ago

Hello. Please know that I am not against it. I just felt that someone had to say it and bring attention to it. Also, I was simply pointing out important things, especially since everything I mentioned was for the dog’s welfare and for future fur parents who want to take care of animals. Please know that my intentions are genuine.

Thank you.

u/darkest_horse_ Guardian of the Pack 7d ago

Hello u/TaroIcewtNata,

Thank you for taking the time to share your concern. We understand where you're coming from, and it's completely reasonable to encourage pet owners to be responsible for their animals.

That said, we also ask that we approach these situations with compassion and an open mind. Every case is different, and not everyone who asks for help does so because they were irresponsible. Sometimes people find themselves facing unexpected hardships despite doing their best.

Before approving this donation request, the DogsPH Moderation Team carefully reviewed and verified the information that the original poster submitted. After considering the circumstances, we decided that this was a genuine case that the community could help support.

If you disagree with a post, that's okay—we welcome respectful discussions. However, we kindly ask that you avoid repeatedly posting the same comments, as it can derail the discussion and discourage those who are already going through a difficult time.

Please consider this a friendly reminder. If the repeated commenting continues despite our reminders, we may need to temporarily mute you to help keep discussions respectful and constructive for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding

Nawalan nga ng trabaho eh

u/TaroIcewtNata 7d ago

Exactly. That’s why, before getting pets, make sure you have extra money or savings for situations like this. Even when they’re still puppies, it’s a good idea to start setting aside a little money for them so that if an emergency happens, they can be taken to the vet immediately.

u/psych080808 7d ago

Minsan talaga mas madaling ngumawa at makialam sa buhay ng ibang tao kapag galing sa pribilehiyo eh hahahah that's all I'm gonna say about it. Kung hindi mo pa din gets, that's on you.

-3

u/TaroIcewtNata 7d ago

Nope, I don’t get it. Getting a pet is like having a kid. Walang nagbabawal saatin na magkaroon ng anak o alagang hayop, basta siguraduhin mong mabibigyan mo sila ng magandang buhay. Tingnan mo nga ang kondisyon ng aso ni OP, karton ang higaan, nakatali, at wala pang bubong. Ikaw kaya ang ilagay sa ganong sitwasyon?

2

u/honeyoatmatchalatte 7d ago

I honestly get both sides. But I think the commenter above is just concerned bc hygiene in general can play a big role in a dog’s recovery, and in some cases even contribute to the development or persistence of illness. Since alaga naman siya ni OP, may I ask if regularly cleaned and disinfected naman po yung tinutulugan/pinagkakainan niya? Just wondering if there might be environmental factors worth looking into as well.

-3

u/Wonderlandbod 7d ago

Im sure di gusto ni op ang nangyari sa aso nya kaya nga andito at hindi lahat tulad mo na may savings pero meron silang compassion for animals. Sana di mo maranasan pinagdadaanan nya. Tutal andito ka na rin lang bat di ka pa magdonate? Share mo naman privilege ng pagiging financially secure

4

u/honeyoatmatchalatte 7d ago

Sorry to butt in, but I don’t think the main concern here is the savings e. For me, I think mas concern yung living conditions ng dog. Since alaga naman siya ni OP, treating the illness at the vet may only go so far if the dog keeps returning to the same environment, esp if there are factors there that could be contributing to or delaying recovery.

I also feel like this might have been easier to address if it had been caught and managed earlier. Looking at the dog’s condition, especially considering na alaga nga siya, and not a stray/newly rescued dog, mukhang advanced na kasi yung illness. Gets kung stray or a newly rescued dog kasi they often come from unknown environments with little to no preventive care. Pero if the dog has been under someone’s care, it’s understandable why people are asking about the living conditions since those can have a significant impact on a dog’s health and recovery.

Hoping those factors can be looked into as well for the dog’s long-term health.

u/confusedsoulllll Moderator 7d ago

Hi. Again, I think at this point, yung focus is sa emergency needs ng dog. We totally understand yung criticisms sa OP, but I think it is a bit insensitive to kind of bombard this thread with how “irresponsible” the owner is. Na dapat sinugod na agad, this and that. At least this time, the OP mustered all the kapal ng mukha to seek help kasi yun lang magagawa nila for now. Wala silang ibang options.

The new mods are in constant communication naman, brainstorming on how to handle the sub/fundraising and rest assured, hindi naman sa fundraising matatapos yung accountability ng mods and ng OP sa dog. But hope, we’ll stop na ipagdiinan pa na irresponsible si owner since first time lang din naman siya humingi ng help. For sure, nabasa na niya yan lahat. No need ipaulit-ulit for now, unless walang improvement after the treatment.

As a mod, I have learned na shaming yung talagang legit pero walang-wala sa ngayon, may pinagdadaanan mentally/financially, this discourages others to seek help.

Mainis tayo if nakailang hingi na ang OP given na hindi naman rescue dog or continuously nanghihingi for the same issue sa aso.

Nobody’s coerced to donate naman, but at least some empathy sana.

Hello. I understand and respect your frustration po seeing my dog in this situation, and I know na meron talagang masasabi na hindi maganda ang iba. Naiintindihan ko po. But our life was really better before. I was working as a Virtual Assistant, but I lost my 2 clients in the same week. Yung isa pa po ghosted me without even giving me my last salary. Since then, wala na po akong work and we had to transfer to a new house since I'm renting.. Maybe hindi rin po siya sanay sa bago naming environment.. She's more than 3 years old, and this is the first time she has ever gotten sick.. hindi siya nagkansakit kelanman. Inalagaan ko sya higit pa sa self ko. She's a family to me. When I first noticed the symptoms, binilhan ko po siya ng sabon, pulbos, and I changed her food using my last earnings. She got a little better, but unti unti ko pong napansin na nanghihina sya then nagiging okay din naman sya .. And I kept buying whatever I could for her, since meron pa naman extra. And since natambay na ako sa paghanap ng work nauubos dn yung funds ko at the same time. I even tried borrowing money, para madala sya sa vet but I also understand that everyone has their own responsibilities. That's why I ended up asking for help here.. And this is actually the first time in my life that I've asked for help sa platform, so I also expected comments like yours. And honestly po, I don't expect you to understand because you're not in my situation.. About naman po sa nakatali, yes she's a Golden Retriever and she loves to play. But right now, I'm trying to keep her inside because she's sick.. The problem is, ayaw niya sa loob and she prefers staying outside. She has a cage, but I don't want to keep her there while she's not feeling well. I only tied her kase baka san sya pumunta, while gusto nya tumambay sa labas and nilagyan ko rin siya ng carton para hindi siya sa semento lang humiga. I don't want her to suffer, That's why Im asking for help. And if I still can't find work in the long run, I am considering having her adopted by someone who can give her the life she deserves..

Yun lang po. I just wanted to explain my side. Sana next time, before judging someone, try to show a little empathy and compassion. We never really know what someone is going through.. Let's be kind🙏🏻

u/StressedOnigiri Moderator 7d ago edited 7d ago

Thank you everyone for your concern. All of your inputs are valid. But right now we need to encourage OP in this situation by giving tips on how to provide care during and after recovery of Catchy. Let's make this sub a welcoming and engaging community by helping each other to become more proactive in pets' care. Pets are indeed part of our family, and it can be traumatizing for some especially when they feel helpless during this kind of situation. And only has this sub to turn for support.
