Help cover Jordan’s Emergency Vet Bills

Hi Friends,

If you know me you know how difficult it is for me to ask for help or admit that I need it but my financial situation right now has made it difficult for me to be able to pay for my dog Jordan’s recent emergency vet bills. I’m literally in the process of filing for bankruptcy, that’s how bad it is.

This past Friday I had to take Jordan to BluePearl pet hospital after he got into a bottle of prescription medication that was left on the coffee table. As soon as I realized something wasn’t right with him, we induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide and monitored him for awhile based on advice that was given to us over the phone from a friend who is a professional veterinarian. But after awhile he started throwing up blood and was very lethargic so I rushed him to the hospital, checked him in and waited, praying for him to be ok and that they would come out with good news. The ER doctor came out eventually and assured me that he’s doing ok and sent me home with Sucralfate to give every 8 hours to coat his stomach and help relieve the irritation and discomfort but raised the concern of him possibly developing pneumonia and said to monitor him and if he does not start showing signs of improvement to call them.

Jordan has been resting since we brought him home but he still is not back to his normal self and has not eaten in two days. We made him plain boiled chicken and rice but I can’t even get him to eat that. He’s barely drinking water and I have had to force syringes of water orally. I called the pet hospital this morning and updated them on his condition and they recommended that I bring him back in.

However….seeing as the pet hospital bill on Friday was nearly $500 ($497.24 to be exact), its going to cost me a minimum of $250 to bring him back in for an evaluation, I don’t have insurance, and only have $374 in my bank account, I am worried I won’t be able to cover the bill should he need additional treatment beyond the evaluation.

I tried to call my primary vet to see if they could see him today as that would be a cheaper option but they don’t have any availability so I don’t have much of a choice at this point. I don’t want to risk not bringing him to the vet and making sure he is ok, but I need help covering the bills.

It’s honestly embarrassing to have to resort to this because I’ve always been financially secure and have been able to cover all my own expenses but I have to make sure my baby boy is ok and I’ll go completely broke before I let anything happen to him.

Anything you are able to give will help tremendously and I’ll be forever grateful.
