Due To A Family Emergency, I might not post for a while.

I can't verbally express my emotions right now, today was just a very crazy and bad day for me and my family, So i'm not sure if I'm going to post soon. I may or may not, it depends.

Today, our family dog, Jake has been having some bowel problems. He hasn't been able to go to bathroom, or in plainer terms; take a dump. He has been throwing up and keeps trying to squeeze stool out all day. So, we came back from fishing today and there was puke everywhere, and his anal gland was swollen.

We decided to take him to the vet, and apparently, he has a rectal hernia. My parents are currently in the emergency room right now, and they are trying to see if he can still urinate and they are going to give him medications and try an enema. I am at home right now taking care of our other 2 dogs who are fine.

Depending on how bad it is, he will need to stay at the vet over night. But, he is going to need surgery regardless. Hopefully, his bladder is not blocked by his colon. That's what they are figuring out right now. And they gave us a ballpark that the surgery could run 3 thousand dollars to 5 grand, but it could also be more. The procedure they are doing now costs about $370 bucks, but that is nothing compared to the price of the surgery. They said it is really close to the point where his colon could come out of his anus.

And in case if you don't know, me and my family are in a tight spot, we barely have enough money for rent, and in order to slowly pay off the price of the surgery or procedure, we need to go under some plan. So right now, I feel kind of screwed. I don't really know what to do. Life throws these situations at you, but the best thing to do is to be strong and figure out a way. And that's what i'm trying to do now. I'm scared...

I'm currently praying for Jake hoping he can get better soon.

Here is jake....

Thanks for understanding, steemians. Hopefully I can post soon. I should have one post coming out soon, maybe. But it all depends.

Update:

He needs to stay overnight at a vet for emergency surgery.
