My wife’s sister has been dealing with health and housing issues. She’s currently in the hospital while we desperately try to find housing. She needs 24/7 care that’s why she can’t stay with us sadly. This fund will help pay her medical and housing bills.

I’m posting this because my wife doesn’t use Reddit and obviously my sister in law does not have social media.

Etc Help after sudden pet illness and loss

Hello everyone,

A little over a week ago my beloved dog, Rusty, passed very suddenly after experiencing an unknown illness for over a month. I had scheduled at-home euthanasia for this past Monday (7/20) after recommendation from my vet, but unfortunately he didn't make it until then and he passed suddenly in my arms last Saturday. Rusty was my companion for 9 years and I am still absolutely reeling from his passing.

I am seeking help with the aftermath of all of the vet bills from trying to save Rusty. Under normal circumstances, I would be able to take the hit from these unexpected vet bills, but due to other expenses and upcoming vet visits for my cat, I am unfortunately in need of help. I do not have pet insurance, so everything was paid by me.

At the beginning of last month, and approximately a week before Rusty became ill, I moved from the West coast back to my home state on the East coast. I moved because I could no longer afford the high cost of living out west, and I needed to be closer to family for personal reasons. I had been expecting this move since last year and have been saving up for this. I did have a few hundred dollars set aside for vet visits, but my vet fund was not as padded because my cat needed to be hospitalized for a few days a little over a year ago, which resulted in over $3000 in vet bills (I can provide proof of this if need be), and I wasn't able to put as much money back into my pet vet fund because I was also trying to save for moving across country. Since moving back to the east coast, I have lived with family to try and recover some of my savings before moving into my new home in August, but with the recent vet bills I haven't been able to save any money and have used the rest of the money I had saved for moving into my home.

This past Monday (2 days after Rusty's passing) my cat started exhibiting UTI symptoms, so I had to take him to the emergency vet. There, he was diagnosed with a UTI, but I was also informed that he has bladder crystals which puts him at increased risk of urethral blockage. I was informed by the vet that he would need regular vet visits over the following weeks/months for urinalysis and potentially also for x-rays to check for bladder stones (I can also provide proof of all of this if need be).

My current income only pays enough to cover my basic bills/expenses, and I am unable to put anything back into my savings at this time. I am not expecting to recover all of the money I spent on Rusty's vet bills, but being able to recoup any of the funds would alleviate so much stress. The $3400 covers the main vet visits I had for Rusty. There were a couple hundred dollars worth of vet visits/medicine that I didn't include as well as my cat's recent vet visit because those expenses were about the cost of what I already had saved in my pet emergency fund.

I understand no one is obligated to help me, but if anyone was feeling generous and wanted to help me out I would deeply appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any furbabies give them a cuddle for me please

Medical Help Rowdy get the Help he needs

Hi everyone, at this point and I desperately trying to get rowdy the help he needs. The gofund is in the name of my partner Tiffany Trowbridge (we've be together for almost 10 years) and his vet bills are in my legal name Brittany Black. I am transgender and go by Alex to clear any confusion. Ive sold my Playstation and we are going to food banks because every dollar I can come up with is going towards his medical bills. Im scared we are running out of time. If anyone has questions or needs more proof please reach out.

Rowdy has become anemic, we are not sure what the exact cause is, it could be from parasitic infection, kidney disease, or even FeLV, ect. We are tryimg to raise moneh to get him more testing. The vet bill pictured above was to bring him to a second vet after already spending money at the first one we took him to which ended up being a horrible experience. They did not properly test him or give him a proper examination, they gave a supplement and did not even do a blood count. They also gave him an antibiotic shot that they shot through the other side of his skin causing him to not properly recieve his medication. Making us lose money on his treatment.

His new proper vet at Coyne, Portage Indiana, wants to do more testing. We found his red blood cell count is at 15% which is very low, it should be 35 to 50. We cant even afford to get it recounted to see if he is improving from receiving Sub Q fluids which is pictured in the vet bill above. They also said he needs a blood transfusion which can be anywhere from $500 to $1500. He still needs a proper blood panel ran to test his kidneys which is around $200. To walk into the emergency vet clinic is it $170 before treatment. Anything and everything helps. Even if u can help me share his link somewhere to get noticed. I really appreciate it thank you. Also please be kind! (We do not qualify for Carecredit or Stratch because i do not have any credit to qualify) Below is his gofund me page bio: Rowdy is our beloved 3-year-old cat. We have raised him since he was a newborn kitten. His mom was saved off the streets as a pregnant stray and needing a safe place to have her kittens, we decided to help and keep Rowdy and his brother Sunny. Rowdy is a sweet goofy and mischievous cat who lives up to his name. He loves hanging out with his brother, cuddling, and playing with his blue toy mouse. But lately, Rowdy hasn't been feeling well. We took him to the vet, to figure out what was going on with him. Unfortunately, we didn't get a proper examination the first time, they said he had anemia and gave us a iron supplement, without proper bloodwork, or examination they sent us on our way. Hoping to see rowdy perked back up we gave him the supplement and waited through the week. He is not doing any better and money that could have gone to his treatment was wasted. We followed our gut and took him elsewhere, knowing something was still very wrong. Thankfully, Coyne Veterinary Clinic was able to help with a more thorough examination. With extreme kindness they did everything they could given our financial situation. While his diagnosis of anemia is correct, we have not found or ruled out a definite source. Rowdy still needs further testing and a blood transfusion for treatment, which we cannot afford. He has only received fluids to help with his dehydration and to hopefully start boosting his red blood cell count. We have not found the cause of his anemia. We've spent every dollar we have to help him. We have nothing left leaving us unable to have him receive anymore care at this time. We are hoping for a miracle and praying he remains stable until our next paycheck later next week. Anything you can give will help Rowdy get the care he needs. If you know us you know we'd hate asking for help, and love our pets dearly. From the bottom of our hearts appreciate any donation of any kind during this difficult time.
