A Chance for Frank's Recovery

Donation protected
This is Franklin, aka Frank. He is a 3 years old, and the most loving little man. We had the scariest day of both of our lives today, from being perfectly playful and happy one night, playing with my dog Dallas, to waking up to him and life threatening condition. His urethra has a complete blockage and crystallization, he was no longer able to use the restroom on his own, which caused a drastic and very rapid decline in his health. I rushed him to the emergency vet and was given the devastating news that to save his life i would have a minimum of $5,593.80 out of pocket just save his life with a procedure, another $5,000 for his in patient hospitalization recovery the days following. I live alone, working 2 jobs, 7 days a week, $10,000 is not something I have just laying around, so they told me the words I was dreading, euthanasia was the next option. I had also applied for every loan/credit care that was possible, but was quickly declined, in recent months my own health has declined as my lung and heart disease has progressed, I am on supplemental oxygen 20 hours a day, the out of pocket costs to receive my medications and oxygen has been extensive and drained my credit cards despite my insurance coverage, turns out it take a fight to get insurance to approve very expensive heart failure medications and oxygen. One thing that has kept me going is coming home to Frank and Dallas, and now when he needs me most, I feel as though I have let him down. He is my little bestfriend and has such a wonderful life ahead of him. One of the vets who was not originally on Franks case, took me into a private room once we knew euthanasia was now the only option, I had exhausted every option after 4 hours of making phone calls, checking every credit and debit card I have hoping some miracle would magically bring the numbers up, it was time. She sat me down and told me she wanted to be blunt, she had never worked sundays and said something told her she needed to be at work today, and she believed that something was Frank and I, she knew how Frank and Dallas are my only family here and she cannot watch him be euthanized, she called a clinic farther in south seattle and told them we needed an emergency transport and they said they can do the procedure for $2800, what a difference from $10,000, i was so grateful, i cried hugging her knowing shes the reason he might have a chance, they said to come immediately as time was against him, that clinic will forever have my deepest gratitude. At the emergency clinic in seattle i was informed they could do everything for $2000, now thats a number I can fight for, I gather every last dollar on 2 credit cards and everything left on my debit card, I applied for one more small loan and got approved instantly, and a singular $5 bill, and finally caught a breath, i gathered $1,986 and they told me to pay the other $14 when I picked him and they were gonna start the procedure immediately, I sobbed, I told him goodbye, and didnt care that I have nothing to my name until my next paycheck, all I knew is he has a chance when I truly believed I was coming home with an empty carrier. I received a phone call about 2 hours later, the procedure was a success, thank God, but his kidneys had been so strained theyre borderline failing, he will have to stay an extra day for fluid therapy to restore and stop them from failing, which now adds an extra $800. I have yet again started hopelessly applying to any loan lenders, applied for personal loans through my bank and reached out to charities and other institutes for emergency funding, but unfortunately, have not received a yes. I know this is a long shot, but I would try absolutely anything to make sure I can bring him home Wednesday. To fight this hard and get this close to his financial needs and be unexpectedly short is devastating. Thank you for reading, every single dollar will go to him coming home and I will post updates/pictures as I know more.
