Emergency Vet Fund for Dolly

Hi everyone,

I’m honestly embarrassed to even be writing this. I’ve always been the type to figure things out on my own. I work hard, I’m in school full-time studying radiology, and I’ve never been someone who felt comfortable asking for help — especially not financial.

But right now… I’m scared and overwhelmed. My sweet dog recently underwent a spay surgery. A week and a half later, she started bleeding excessively from her vaginal area— with blood clots, leaking, and signs that something was very wrong.

We’ve done labs, X-rays, and ultrasounds, and somehow everything has come back normal — but she is still excessively bleeding. I’ve spoken with two different vets, and both have told me they’ve never seen anything like this in their time practicing. It’s terrifying not having clear answers, and now we’re headed to LSU Veterinary Hospital to drop her off so she can be evaluated and hopefully treated by their specialists.

I’ve done everything I can, but the costs are piling up fast, and the next steps will likely require even more intensive (and expensive) care.

To make things even more overwhelming, I have finals on Monday and Tuesday. I’m juggling school, emotions, and now the fear of losing my girl — all while trying to hold it together.

I also want to be fully transparent: I have a vacation planned next week that was booked and paid for long before this emergency happened. I can’t believe the timing of all this — it’s just one of those heartbreaking, freak situations. I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for help while carelessly spending elsewhere. Every extra dollar I have is going toward my dog’s care.

I hate begging anyone for money. It honestly hurts my pride to ask. But my dog is my family. She’s been with me through some of the hardest times in my life, and she doesn’t deserve to suffer because I can’t afford the care she needs right now. I’ve had her since I was 17 years old.

If you can help — even a little — I’d be more grateful than I can put into words. If you can’t donate, just sharing this would mean the world to me. Thank you so much for reading this and for simply caring.

With love and deep gratitude,

Emma & Dolly
