My Parents Won’t Take Our Senior Dog to the Vet

Advice

I’m crying as I’m typing this. My parents don’t want to take our dog to the vet, and I feel completely alone. I’m only 18 years old and in college, and I don’t know what to do. I live in the Philippines, and I’ve tried fundraising on my own. I did get some help, but now my parents still refuse to spend money to add to what I’ve raised.

Our dog has been coughing for months, and her condition has worsened over the past four days. My parents are willing to spend a lot on our puppy, but they won’t help with our senior dog. I’ve been staying up day and night trying to get help and raise more funds.

Is there anyone who could lend even a small amount to help cover her vet care? I’m also worried about transportation since my parents refuse to bring her to a vet. I really wish an adult could comfort me because I feel so alone and helpless.

Thank you for reading this. Any support or guidance, even just words of encouragement, would mean the world.
