Sometimes focusing on what’s important can be really difficult if your not prepared. And how often are we really ever prepared for something like this?
Molly
Two months ago I noticed that my dog Molly had a bump on her chest when I gave her a bath, it was prime bug biting season and I was running a few days late on her monthly treatment, I figured it would just go away. The bump didn’t go away, and now there are 2 bumps and the first one has gotten bigger. With only 6 dollars in my bank account, what am I going to do?
In the midst of this potentially life threatening discovery that I found on my dog, I lost my focus. I have been so worried, and so scared of what it all means; the vet bills, the treatments, and specialists we will need to see. With out the funds to bring her to the Vet, and I not knowing what to do until I got the funds, I ended up suppressing my worry, pain and sadness of what was to come and drowned myself in the busyiness of schoolwork and trying to get things done so I can afford to bring her to the vet.
They Know Something Is Wrong
For the past couple months my cats have been acting strangely as well, and I learned a long time ago that pets know when another animal is sick, its like they can smell there is something wrong. One cat started chewing on her stomach, I noticed today she left a raw spot, so I put a cone on her head to keep her from making it worse. My other cat is waking me up 5 times a night and I can’t get any sleep. Stress levels are going through the roof right now.
I can pretend all day and night that everything is fine, but it’s not. I’m so scared. I can’t afford the treatment that she will need, I’m sure I will have to go to specialists and I will have to put Molly on a special diet. I’m sure I will need to put her on the Banfield Wellness plan to help cover the costs of whats to come. I don’t know what all it will entail, but I need help to get through this.
Getting Help
My wonderful friend Vas helped me pull myself together, refocus on what is important here, getting help for my Dog, getting her to the Vet so I can find out what exactly is going on and find out how much it will cost. I can’t do it alone, its tearing me up inside. Her support really helped me clear the fog so I can get things done.
I’ve been planning to start offering consulting services soon for websites, e-commerce businesses for creatives and artists. I was able to start the process by consulting with a client on her web comic to earn the initial funds to bring Molly to the Vet. Today I am calling and making the appointment so I can get a professional opinion and diagnosis on Molly’s situation. I will know more about the costs and what it all means after the appointment. I know I won’t be able to get through this alone and will need emotional support and financial support.
