Hey, so I usually don't ever ask people for money, but I am kind of at the end of my abilities and cried too much today to care about it anymore:

My dog, who I rescued in Croatia in 2017 after he was found eating dirt in the forrest, Lu, is turning 8 years old next mont. He is the sweetest and softest fur baby, and look like an ice bear. He never ever has been in a fight with another animal and thinks everyone, no matter the species, is his best friend.

He is also my best friend, and I initially adopted him after starting therapy after moving out of home for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia, and C-PTSD, which had me not leave the house for years. He is my best friend in fur and helped me to get back out into the world again after it had been nothing but awful to me.

I fixed myself, fixing Lu, when nobody wanted him and nobody wanted me.

For two months now he has been dealing with severe hip and back issues. It started abruptly, with him no longer wanting to play and be on long walk, suddenly struggling to get up, and as something our vet called “just a little muscle inflammation” and a one-week medication treatment that cost us 150€.

Lu felt better for 1 1/2 weeks and even started playing a little again before the pain came back. This time, we paid 100€ for a milder medication as the vet did wanna put him again on those string monster pills he was on before as it would’ve damaged his system. I gave him those pills every day (he, by now, is such good boy at taking them) and he did again better for a 1/2 week without daily medication.

Again, he couldn't get up, started crying at night, is no longer is able to sleep in my bed, no longer lay on his back, and he only lays on the floor, trying not to get up and walk around as he is in pain, he no longer plays… So we went to the vet again.

This time, we paid 80€ for a few of the strong medications he got in the first place. Diagnosis: “Old boy. Arthritis. Inflamed hip.” We were meant to give him two of those pills on days he is struggling more than the by now basic.

Two days ago, I was on a walk with Lu, just leaving my apartment complex, when he collapsed for the first time and fell down in the middle of a crosswalk. There was no chance of him getting up. Car drivers hated us, and I bagged for minutes that he would try getting up.

After I nearly started crying, he finally forced himself up, walked a few meters, and fell again. It was like his hips just couldn't carry him anymore. Watching him to try forcing himself up but struggling so badly is something that kills me every time I see it, but I am used to it by now, sadly.

He finally got up after 30 minutes and we walked home. I gave him his pills and after a nap we ran around pretty well, even the next day he was doing so much better. I should've not thought this was over.

Today my boyfriend took him on a walk. The same thing happened, but this time Lu screamed out in pain first. This time there was no getting up. Even after my boyfriend called me and I ran over in my pajamas as Lu is known to be a mama’s boy.

We called our vet, who told us we needed to go to the animal hospital. The animal hospital told us they would charge us roughly 2500€ for an X-ray and have Lu there overnight and treated.

The secretary from the animal hospital told us we were not allowed to pay it back at monthly rates when we asked.

We asked why it was so expensive; she replied, “We are the only ones doing this in the city, so we can choose our prices as we see fit.”

We asked how other people could afford that, crying in the middle of the street as our dog still lay there, unable to walk or even get up, and she told us, “Everyone can afford that.”

When my boyfriend told her he needed to talk to me about it, she replied, “Yeah, sure. Just call us if you actually need and want our help.”

I am disabled, suffering from Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Sympton, am in the middle of getting a POTS diagnosis, and have Autism and ADHD. I am physically due to the chronic pain not able to work. I don't have that kind of money to just whip out like it is nothing.

For my boyfriend, this kind of money is more than his monthly loan.

There is no worse feeling than when your pet is in pain and needs to be medically treated, but you can't get them the help they need because YOU do not earn enough.

We cried and tried to get up Lu for an hour before calling my mother, who I am low contact with as she emotionally abused my for decates and is part of the reason I have C-PTSD. She drove us the a Animal Hospital outside the city, as they were the last suggestion our vet could give us and the told us they would charge less for the same kind of help and work.

There, we were prepared to pay the 300€ to have Lu no matter how, even if we needed to/manage to have my mother borrow it to us.

The vet was amazing, seeing the problem the moment Lu finally stood up and walked for the first time.

His hips are fucked, probably the back too, and he has Arthritis. But right now, they can't do any of the X-rays because first his fever and inflammation need to go down.

Today we paid 100€, Lu got a big shot, and for the first big pain and fever, starting tomorrow, he will regularly take two of those initially given strong pills once a day so he hopefully can have the x-rays next week.

My dog was mentally a puppy jumping around like a little deer until this started. He always wanted to play, always ran around and did something. This took all the joy in life for him.

I’m asking for help to pay for the X-ray and whatever treatment will follow for Lu after.

UPDATE:

Today we had the X-Ray appointment and paid 352€

Hips and back are okay.

BOTH OF LU’S KNEES ARE FUCKED.

Cruciate Ligament Rupture & the knee joints are fucked.

The operation will be a two timer and cost us 4000€

I am currently not able to tell you how I am going to pay this. I barely managed to pay the X-rays today.

I amcurrently not even in possession of a life insurance that could help my dog if I kick it. /ifywim

Again:

I am BEGGING, if you have even a euro or dollar or whatever to spare, please help me.

Info about Dean's [my fursona (the guy in my pfp)] world and story, as well as the various other characters in his world, is now publically available on my toyhouse. If that interests you, go read.

❌️‼️https://toyhou.se/~world/186120.shockverse

I'm not an experienced storyteller, so bare with me.

Posts about these characters from now on will contain the tag [#shockverse]. I also will be yapping more spontaneously on my alt @deadallover. As ever 🔞.

[autispec-hours]

yknow that thing where you’ve been on a specific medication for long enough that your brain doesn’t really remember what the symptoms were like before , and it tries to convince you to stop taking it cause ‘ maybe you don’t need it anymore , you feel fine right now ‘ <- currently medicated while this thought is happening

that is the devil talking

edit: not literally the devil

[loupy-mongoose]

This peace and wholesomeness is so…deceptive. I keep wondering what’s going to do it. You managed to give a spoiler without spoiling ANYTHING. Like, at this rate, I’m just expecting a random Koffing in the mansion to self-destruct and THAT be the reason Randy half dies.

You really think I'd do you all as dirty as having some random nobody Pokemon come along and off him? When I've had this in the works for months??

Nah, man, it's gonna be something that's been hinted at. :)

This user has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Send me an ask for the userbox you’d like to see next!

[thesernotthedroidsurlooking4]

ok I know we are all collectively avoiding show negatively to avoid spoiling our joy and that’s good, actually! I want to be able to enjoy things!

…but I still wish we got to see a little more hotel silliness along the way. At least have a party vibe? I wanted to see them play some more games. (It was a shame Grover’s game was VR—I would have loved to see what exactly he was seeing)! Or for them to have interacted with more people hilariously behind the times, like outlandish 70s-80s-90s hair and slang etc…. Perhaps this is more of Rick desperately trying to distance himself from the Movie That Shall Not Be Mentioned but… but the casino was one of the few things it got almost right…

Anyway, the lack of casino fun kind of adds to the trend in which some of the humorous tone of the book isn’t translating fully to screen, which is a big shame, imo. That was one of the original book’s biggest draws, part of what made it so very memorable.

(Loved Percy attempting to drive though, that was fun!)

Don’t talk to her, she’s embarrassed

Also:

They were TERRIFIED of her

Lmao so context, Ebby has really sensitive skin and she gets eaten alive by flies every warm season. And well, frankly, I’m tired of having to spray her every couple of hours. She’s probably gonna absolutely destroy this fly suit, but until she does, I only have to spray her once before I put it on her. Woody doesn’t get one because he doesn’t need it. The flies don’t attack him like they attack Ebby for whatever reason

She’s such a good girl tho she’s never had anything on her legs before, and it’s always a toss up on how they’re gonna react to it the first time. I wasn’t expecting her to lose her mind, she’s just not that kinda horse (obviously since I only had a lead rope around her neck to handle her), but y’know that’s always a possibility. And if anyone’s wondering, no, Boo Boo wouldn’t have reacted at all. We used to show and trail ride so I had him in boots all the time. The first time he wore boots tho he did this for a couple minutes too 😂😂

Also also, don’t mind the mess in the video, I don’t keep them in that yard. That’s the chicken yard, I just feed her in there so that Woody doesn’t steal her food, cuz she gets a lot more than him and he doesn’t fuckin need it lol

Had an idea, an Owl House and MLP crossover where Luz is an earthpony who wants to learn more magic than just what's standard in Equestria

Sunray Sueños is a bright young filly from the humble Hollow Shades who's never truly fit in with her peers. Much as she tried to make friends, her over-the-top enthusiasm for all things arcane and obscure have landed her in trouble more often than not. And it all came crashing down when her loving but concerned mother decided to send her to live with relatives in a farm in Appleoosa for a while, so that she could hopefully stop obsessing over strange magic and develop some social skills.

This, understandably, breaks Sunray's heart, and she dejectedly throws her study book in the trash can of the train stop. She pretty much immediately regrets it and tries to recover it, only to see it being taken away by a strange owl. She follows it past everypony, into an old, dismantled locomotive, out of it through a different doorway -- and straight into a vastly different wild landscape than the shrub-speckled valley and surrounding peaks of her hometown: she's atop a hill overseeing what appears to be a city, though it's unlike anything she's ever seen or heard about. The red-orange sky, the illogical buildings, the unrecognizeable creatures inhabiting it... it's all too much to take in.

The owl, however, is still in sight, and Sunray is nothing if not stubborn, so she chases after it, down he hill, and finds out it has brought her book (along with several assorted trinkets and baubles) to an older-looking griffon with a bit of a sleazebag vibe.

This is the story of how an Earth Pony became the most powerful witch in the Badlands.

[l00ney-m00ny]

hate the chronic pain. Every step I take makes my hips crack and pop like a fucking glow stick add that to my back hurting for absolutly no reason and making my eyes go all blurry and water and the fact that I still need to do school today and no position that i sit in or anything is comfortable and i need the heatpack on like, 3 places at once... ugh, I’m just a mess. a hot one despite everything but still a mess.

[hallowshumour]

is it okay if i tell you that ur sona is hot as fuck??

I get this a lot. Personally I'm not crazy about him being objectified. Its disrespectful. This is my SFW account, nothing here is supposed to be hot. (Yapping under the cut)

Maybe I'm sensitive to this because I'm afab or demisexual. But it makes me uncomfortable to be seen to strangers as a just sexual thing. Theres a lot more to dean, it feels like a disservice. It comes across as creepy and leering to me, I much prefer to be in control of sexual situations.

I know ur just talking about my character, but hes my image on the internet, it feels personal (though i look NOTHING like my fursona, obviously. I draw Dean this way for gender reasons.) Dean to me is mean and tough, he'll break you in half for looking at him like that, he's supposed to help me feel safe from this shit, to make me feel like a badass who can beat anything, the opposite of a plaything for strangers.

But at the end of the day, I can't really stop anyone. He's definitely a lot of people's type. Though I must say he's a terrible man, awful irredeemable and you do not want him.
