One last hurrah, in case anyone else still wants to help.
For anyone new or who doesn’t know the context: our 10 year old Aussie Astaroth had to be rushed into emergency care when his bladder fell into a huge hernia and he wasn’t able to urinate on his own. He was hospitalized at a emergency vet (the $2450 bill shown) and given a catheter, fluids, paid meds, etc and then taken to a general practice the next morning for surgery to try and repair the hernia and put everything back where it was supposed to be. The surgeon found a huge mass on his prostate, however, that caused complications and forced us to make the decision to stop the surgery and say goodbye instead. Which left us with thousands in vet bills & a box of ashes instead of bringing our boy home. His euthanasia and cremation, I paid for all out of pocket, and a portion of the diagnostics as well came out of my savings, but the rest is just a lot for us to try and manage before the interest kicks in within that 6 month period.
We have already had a ton of help and are so so grateful. 💖 We’re just low income despite that we both work, my partner had JUST had to finance a new car due to an accident totaling theirs a couple months ago, and it’s just a lot stacked on us all at once that is causing a bit of a strain on top of our obvious grief and sorrow.

I think if we could JUST get that remaining portion of the overnight hospital stay from MedVet paid off (the circled portion in the screenshot), we would be able to more comfortably manage.
But my 8 year old dog Pazuzu needs a $700 procedure to have a growth on his leg removed, which I cannot put on CareCredit despite having the available credit limit because of how their payments work. Because they WANT you to wind up paying that interest. 🙃 So anything extra would still immediately go towards that $2k balance so that maybe we can get Pazuzu in sooner.
We also have to pay property taxes at the end of the year as well so we’re going to have to save portions of our paychecks for that as well, and right now the monthly payment to get this paid off is putting on quite the strain by itself, on top of the rising cost of living, gas, other bills that never get cheaper. But I know we’re not alone in struggling, so please don’t put yourself in a bad spot to help. And even $1 or $5 donations go a long way in the end.
I’m not one who enjoys asking for help, so continuing to do so is like pulling teeth for me. But it has already been an immense relief to have people lend us a hand. I’m going to share one more time across my socials and then this will probably be the last post I make about it though; vulnerability sucks lol.
