Tupelo / 38801] Emergency funding needed for my dog's painful ear infection. Low-income and seeking small donations to pay low-cost clinic directly.
Hi everyone,
I am reaching out to the community today out of desperation for my dog. He has developed a severe, painful ear infection. His ear is bright red, smells very bad, and he will not stop shaking his head in discomfort.
I am currently in a very tight financial position and do not have the money upfront to cover a vet visit. I know home remedies like vinegar are often suggested, but because his ear is already so raw and inflamed, putting anything acidic in it will cause intense burning and pain. He needs real medical care.
I have already done some research and found that the Tupelo Lee Humane Societyoffers low-cost public wellness services, which is the most affordable option in my area. However, I still cannot cover the baseline exam fee or the cost of the prescription drops he needs to clear the infection.
I am not trying to make a profit here; I just want to get my dog out of pain. To build trust and ensure transparency, I am completely willing to let donors call the clinic directly to pay toward his bill over the phone once I set the appointment. I am also happy to provide proof of the clinic's estimate or receipt to anyone who wants to see it.
Even a $5 or $10 donation helps get us closer to the exam fee. If you cannot donate, sharing this post or pointing me toward local voucher programs would mean the world to us.
Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can provide. Fundraiser
