Tangi’s Vet Costs for Urgent & Ongoing Care

This is Tangi — my 9-year-old pit mix and my heart on four legs. last night she almost crossed the rainbow bridge; and now I want to do what I can to make sure she doesn’t for as long as I can.

Due to an ongoing undiagnosed UTI, severe dehydration, and a dangerously weakened state led to an emergency vet visit that saved her life. She’s now on antibiotics and slowly recovering, but this was a major wake-up call. Tangi needs consistent, long-term care to prevent this from happening again.

I paid for the emergency vet visit out of pocket — using most of money I’d finally saved to fix my car. That car is my only way to get her to future vet appointments, since I live a few miles from town with no Uber, no buses, and no backup transportation most of the time. It’s just me and her.

I’m not just hoping for a quick fix — I’m actively getting her set up with a local wellness plan and exploring pet insurance to cover her care moving forward. But the upfront costs for follow-up visits, lab work, and meds add up fast, and the car still needs repairs if I want to keep showing up for her the way she’s always shown up for me.

Your donation would help with:

• Reimbursing the emergency vet bill so I can repair my car

• Scheduling her next vet visit and long-term care planning

• Getting her on a wellness plan and insurance before anything else goes wrong

Here’s where your support would go — I’m including everything I know so far:

• Emergency Vet Visit: $1,500 that I had saved for my car to be repaired

• Car Repairs: $1,200 (Essential for transporting Tangi to and from appointments)

• Wellness Plan:

• $65 initial setup fee

• $45/month ongoing

• Pet Insurance (Estimates):

• ~$140/month

• $750 annual deductible

This is just the beginning of her long-term care plan. With your help, I can make sure this never gets this close again.

If you can give, even a little, it would mean the world to both of us. And if you can’t, sharing this helps too.

Tangi’s been by my side through thick and thin — now I’m doing everything I can to return the favor.

Thank you for reading and caring.
