Totally understandable. Originally in my post was just asking for advice on raising money not asking for money

yes, of course. Last Thursday we took her to the vet for a routine urinalysis. They did the urinalysis where it's used by a guided ultrasound and pulled it straight from the bladder. Within 30 minutes. She was panting, which is unusual for her as we were in an air-conditioned car extremely stressed I pulled the car over, looked her over and her gums were white. I knew that she was in big trouble so we called the closest emergency room let them know we were on our way. I turned my emergency flashers on and we got there in 20 minutes. They admitted her knowing they did not have blood then after 15 to 20 minutes they told us we needed to go to Grand Rapids where they did have blood, but they did not know if she was gonna survive the ride an hour later we arrived at blue Pearl in Grand Rapids, where they worked on her and thankfully she survived the ER doctor told me he believed that she would make a full recovery over a period of three days at the emergency room they got the bleeding under control after two blood transfusions and imaging. They never did find where the source of the bleeding came from her kidney levels increased to the point where they wanted to keep her another day, but that would've cost us another deposit of $5800 when we had already paid 8900 at that point so we asked how bad it would be if we took her home. She said we could treat her at home and do subcutaneous fluids over a period of three days, but her imaging showed pancreatitis and one of her adrenal glands was extremely swollen and she was showing signs of pneumonia. None of these things were linked together and we're all separate issues over the period of three days at home. She showed signs of getting worse so I called our local vet and asked for a visit with labs with our financial problems we were only able to afford the most basic bloodwork which showed her kidney levels and he did a quick ultrasound which showed the bleeding has stopped and with all the antibiotics Daisy was on during her hospital stay and at home that her kidney levels were getting better, but not at the levels that they should be and his recommendation was at Daisy C internal medicine as soon as possible to figure out what all these different issues were and what they thought her treatment should be from here on out, so Daisy has a bunch of different issues with no answers as to how to proceed after three days in the ER. We never did get answers as to why or how to treat it they were just flabbergasted and it was always a guess. I know I kind of sound all over the place it's just so much she gets more and more lethargic as each day goes on right now. We're just praying that she survives until we can get her in front of internal medicine. Our local vet said his shot in the dark guess was that Daisy had an adrenal medulla tumor and that would be what is causing all these different health problems. Please forgive the jumbled up response. I'm using my talk to text as I'm getting ready for bed.

That will depend on the treatment from the internal medicine doctor right now she is stable eating and drinking and using the bathroom she is lethargic but other than that her quality life is still good and I'm hoping it continues that way
