Joined to find help! Ajji had surgery.

What about iMOM.org? Your pup is just too darned cute! I hope everything works out with her surgery. Welcome to Pet Talk

iMOM helps raise funds before expensive procedures. Unfortunately, they aren't equipped to help pay for existing vet bills. You might try Orthodogs

I'm not sure if they help for existing vet bills, but since they specialize in ortho types of treatment, they may have more information. They have a page on creative fundraising ideas which includes:

Creative Fundraising
Babysitting, garage sale, car wash, bake sale, craft sale, plant care, pet sitting. Projects have the added benefit of helping to occupy your mind in a productive way. If you have a creative streak, it can be therapeudic.

Ask if your veterinarian offers CareCredit (www.carecredit.com). CareCredit allows you to pay over time, and the loan will be interest-free if the balance is paid within a specified time period.

Some caregivers find that friends, family, and community members are willing to contribute financially if they are aware of a difficult situation.

Contact your local library for information about how to organize fundraising efforts.

Hold a "Vet Garage Sale". Clean house for cash! While you have the neighborhood's attention, make and sell sugar cookies or doggie biscuits shaped like doggie bones. Set out a donation can that has a photo and flyer which shows your pup and where their support is going -- or have your pup out there with you, if you can.

If you have a creative fundraising idea of your own that you'd like us to share, please send us an email: [email protected].

I hope you stay around. I'd love to hear more about Ajji.

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the responses I really appreciate everything. Ajji is finally home! Yeahye She is eating, drinking, her ears are perked up and she looks very happy. The doc said she may have a slow recovery as far as walking goes because her surgery was so extensive. (it took over 3 hours) We'll know if she walks within 6 weeks though. The signs are good. She has a deep pain reflex and wiggles her paws when I tickle her paw fur.

As far as fundraising goes. . . Some of the payment was approved for CareCredit so that was nice, but I still need to raise money. My boyfriend and I are both artists by day and bartenders/servers by night so we thought it would be a great idea to have art show parties and put up a donation bar with wine, liquor, beer the works. We'll see how that works out.

Thanks again and I'll keep you all updated. . . with pictures next time
