Well, fall is coming.
Posted 3 years agoFall is approaching, not sure how I feel about that lol.
Luna is gone. But we are in debt to those who helped.
Posted 3 years agoThe only emergency vet in the area would not operate to save her life, because we did not have the money up front.
Instead they sent us home with antibiotics and a suggestion that we ask friends, family and maybe start a gofundme page...
3 days later, she was jaundice and very ill, we were forced to ask everyone we knew for help, two stepped forward and loaned us a card to use,...
We brought her to the vet, and they said now that we waited, the infection had spread, and the bill went from $3,800.00 to $5800.00. My cousin, and other wonderful friends helped bring the bill down to around $4,000.00...
We got her in for surgery and were sent home to wait.
They called and had "good news and bad news"...
The operation was a success.
However they found her to be septic and she needed to be put down.
We had waited too long... due to the vet's policy on caring more about money than your furry family members.
They have NO policy for payment plans.
They refuse to help without money up front.
This needs to change.
BUT, it will not change poor Luna's life ending at only 5 years old because of money.
It will not pay back the friends who, going through hard times themselves, graciously loaned us the funding to help try to save her life.
Our loved one is gone, and all that remains are some photos, the dog hair we find here and there through out the house, her toys that the other dogs hold against the window and cry through whenever someone pulls up as they think she may return... her memories, the sad silence as she was the one who would start barking if anyone came to the house... And, of course, the final bill.
I never ask for help, but in this circumstance, I have to.
Please, if you can spare a few beans to help us pay back friends who tried so hard to help our little girl,
It would be greatly appreciated.
I humbly ask you, for anything you can spare.
And thank you in advance.
