This year has seen the roughest I have ever had. Diagnosed with MS in July after a terrible relapse. And things are piling up. All my pets have entered senior age groups, and with that has come vet bills, several of them. My chinchilla Pepper is the oldest of my pets, so this makes it even harder.
My sweet Pepper stopped eating his pellets 2 nights ago. He is taking CC, and oats and a shredded wheat. Our vet isn't in until Tuesday, so I can keep up the feeding until then, but then what?
Our car needs work, the motorcycle that is hubby's transportation just died and needs a part, the van we were going to buy lost it's alternator and our rent is going up $90 a month. How do I justify spending $300 on him when everything else is falling apart. We could put it on credit cards, along with the car parts, but is that responsible?
How do I say I can't afford to even find out what's wrong? I am just sick about it. And if I am not careful with the stress, I will be really sick. Last time I got this stressed, I had an MS relapse. So there's that too.
Have any of you ever run a fundraiser dog wash to help with a personal expense? Did it work? Did you raise much? Figure we could do about 20 small dogs in one day if just bath, brush, nails, maybe minor face/feet tail things. Ideas for raising $300 quick? I have to be careful not to over do it, I don't need any more body parts ruined by this awful disease.
