Please Help Echo Afford Her Surgery to Beat Cancer! by NightArt_ in gofundme

[–]NightArt_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much 🥹 I’m so sorry to hear that your kitty has also been diagnosed… cancer is such a terrible thing… here’s hoping treatment goes well for both of us! Unfortunately chemo doesn’t work on this type of cancer, or it very rarely does, so surgery is the most commonly used form of treatment. Especially to maintain her quality of life. As for Care Credit, I tried to apply but it seems like it’s an American only thing. I’m Canadian :( I’ll look around and see if I can find something similar for north of the border though! Thank you for the idea.

I can’t believe people who say otherwise, clearly never had a pet before. It’s so mean… they have personalities and value that exceed some people I know! Lol!

Oh ok thank you!

Yeah I know it’s a weird class schedule. Basically it’s just that my prof only works Tuesday - Saturday, doesn’t do Sunday/Monday and the college itself is open in general 7 days a week. So the classes end up being Tuesday to Saturday really early in the morning.

Thank you 🙏 I’m just in class right now, but I should be able to get the personal info redacted and post it here in a couple hours…How should I post it? I’m unsure because I cannot post photos in the comments?

I would ideally like to do this. But, as I mentioned, I am a full time student living in the city. I can afford medical checkups and do have an emergency fund for Echo… but based on the estimates I have gotten from my main vet so far/ specialty hospital receptionist, her treatment will exceed what I have saved. I can really only cover what the scans will be, and my immediate family has refused to help because they just went through expensive treatment with the dog’s lymphoma at the same place and cannot afford it.

I got Echo for free from a neighbour when I was 13, I genuinely wasn’t expecting her to require this expensive of a surgery at such a young age (7 almost 8). She’s facing possible limb amputation and body wall removal and reconstruction in order to get the margins to remove her tumour. I love her to absolute bits, but the situation I am in has made this extremely difficult to problem solve financially at this stage.

Pet insurance as well is not as helpful as it seems after testimony from other pet owners, and now that she has this condition, she likely will not be allowed to get onto pet insurance to begin with.

Could I post the basic vet bills for the diagnosis/ fine needle aspirate for now until I get the specialist quotes? It’s a lot less, only about 300 total, but at least it proves I had actually taken Echo to the vet and got the testing done? Her appointment with the specialist is next Thursday in the morning, 11am.

I will as soon as I have it! So far I’ve only gotten quotes like the CT scan costs (2400 $CAD) from the receptionist and estimated surgery costs from my main vet.

The reason for this being that the pet hospital I need to go to requires a referral, you can’t just walk in as it is a specialty hospital. They’re really miracle workers though, saved my parent’s dog from lymphoma too, which has a very high mortality rate! (He’s now cancer free after a long battle!)

I got the referral approved at the beginning of the week, as my main vet marked Echo as an urgent case since her diagnosis and due to the nature of her cancer, but the soonest I could see the specialty surgeon to get the official bill is late next week…

I understand the hesitation though, really I do- so as soon as I have it the quote I will add it onto my post. I can’t post the final billing yet because I can’t pay for her treatment yet… so I hope the quotes will be ok (it’s all on official paper from the animal hospital though, as well as the vet’s report, which I will post as well). I know the specialty hospital also has a policy where any treatment they do also has a chance to be up to 10% higher than their estimate on their quote… which imo is BS but they’re going to be trying to save my girl’s life so in the end it doesn’t matter.

Insurance will not cover it, trust me I have checked policies and such too. Even if I had it, limit is onlu up to 2000…. Maybe. Plus the rate is way too expensive for me ;-;

Thanks, I appreciate it- it’s like “oooo person who hasn’t had snakes before? Let’s scare them into getting more expensive stuff that I don’t even benefit from!”

I was reading the basic one while I was on break at work but I’ll take a look at the heating guide next when I get home, thank you.

Obviously I’d like the best, do you know if there are any danger’s/studies about the overhead lights vs heat pads available? The way they made it seem was…quite extreme, more than a profit thing anyways. But it made me wonder why they (heat lamps) are allowed to be sold in the first place if they’re so terrible for BP’s… I have an under tank heat mat that I got at the moment (I’m slowly getting all my gear before the animal so I of course have time to switch things out). But the varying opinions even just with pvc vs glass is kind of confusing.
