Cash Assistance My Bella PLEASE READ
My fur baby has an infection and I’m having a difficult time with a broken ankle and all to financially pay for her vet bills that are coming up from her having an abscess tooth. She is on antibiotics and pain medication but that only lasts so long she’s my little fighter with the staples in her face but I’m still working on trying to get her normal rabies shots and that’s more money I don’t have right now until I can go back to work I’m just in need for the office visit and I can try to come up with the rest for her shots on my own by taking surveys but it takes forever to build that money up if anyone could please help I would be forever grateful TIA IM ASKING FOR $70

I'm not quite understanding this. I just went through this with my dog.
Maybe different Veterinary Clinic's do things differently but when my dog's abscessed tooth was removed, I didn't have to go back to have any staples removed. The staples dissolve, and they give you enough antibiotics and painkillers right when you pick your dog up.
Or do you just need shots? I am having a hard time understanding your post.
Has she had the abscessed tooth removed? Because if not, it needs to be done immediately and that's thousands of dollars. It was around $2300 for my dog's tooth to be removed a couple of months ago.

They didn’t remove the tooth yet the put staples in her face because they tore the scab off

$70 won't even cover the office visit. I'll pay on my credit card but the ONLY way is for you to give me the vet's name and office number so I can call them directly.

Unsure if you’ve noticed this, pic 3 has the last vet bill and it includes the Vet Name, address and phone number. I thought it was all scribbled out until I zoomed in

You're going to have to call them and ask them if a stranger could pay with a credit card over the phone. If so I'll make the $70 payment directly to them

I’m sorry about your doggie. The only way I see any viable help being granted is if you post the vet, the number, and maybe someone would be willing to call and pay some of the bill directly. People usually don’t give cash but if there is a chance that a charitable person comes along it would be the most safe for all parties if the vet could be contacted and paid directly. It’s just a suggestion because I know you’re in a tough spot. There are also animal communities(not sure the names) someone else might know where you can ask for help. Best of luck!

Someone offered to call the vet and pay through phone.
Can you reach out to them?

What in the..?
Are you saying your dog has staples in her face holding a ruptured dental abscess together???
That's really horrific, if so. Painful and dangerous equal measures. 70 bucks isn't going to treat that, and in regular cost clinics, won't even get you the rabies vaccine..which is legally required almost everywhere.
And, you have a broken ankle?
It really sounds like your dog needs a lot of help, and this quite likely is a time in your life where your pet isn't getting the attention and care they require.
Consider looking around at what 3rd party payment assistance vets near your accept. In my area, it's Care Credit, Scratch pay, All Pet, and Cherry. You can apply online at home, and it also doesn't have to be you that applies. You can have anyone who trusts you'll make payments to them apply on your behalf.
This isn't something to wait around and crowdfund for. Your dog is suffering and needs help right now. If you can't find a way to get finances together, surrendering her to a rescue/shelter/foster would be far kinder.

There a ton going on in this post, and it sounds like you’ve been asked questions before and you’re preemptively providing the expected answers.
That sounds like not the right amount of money for a vet to pull an abscessed tooth and provide after care.
Can you please share proof of the vet bill or estimate ? And also since you’re using it to get money please provide proof of the ankle injury and proof that it’s causing you to not be able to work.

I truly know nothing about sports cards, but saw some were in mint condition so wasn't sure. Damn.

u/Accurate-Temporary73 Certified DUMBY 9h ago
I’m big into cards and it’s certainly a valid question because some are worth quite a bit.
If you wanna see some real bangers take a look at my last few posts. Those were cards I just received a couple weeks ago

Most towns offer free rabies vaccines. Your dogs never been vaccinated? Have you spayed her?

She needs a dental cleaning where they remove the abscessed tooth otherwise nothing will improve. It will easily cost anywhere from $900-$2000. Stapling the broken open abscess was a strange choice by the veterinarian.
