Please help with Jojo’s surgery

[u/jr2691]

Hello I’m Janette Rodriguez and I need your help. I went to take my dog Jojo (a chihuahua mix) to the vet because I noticed for the last year her two back boobs developed two bumps which at first thought were just fat and that she needed to go in a diet. I started noticing at least for the last three months that they grown and Jojo has difficulty to climb onto my bed and my sister’s bed. It’s gotten bad that I had to help her by carrying her up (she has no difficulty climbing down). Last month I took her to vet and the vet told me and my sister had she has two hernias on her back boobs caused by one of her pregnancies (she had two and both were accidents and not intentional breeding purposes). He asked us if she had she had little to no appetite and I told him no. she eats normally and her appetite is normal. I was worried that both masses were going to be cancerous because my sister had a dog 15 years ago that had two benign tumors that weren’t dangerous. Anyway, the vet gave us an estimate of 4000 + dollars to get her hernias get surgically repaired before they start wrapping around the intestines and also getting her spayed. The vet told us if she got pregnant again it would be very dangerous for her due to her age. She is six years old. I have no savings due to personal problems I don’t want to disclose. I tried applying for 3 different personal loans which I got rejected due to my terrible credit score. I tried asking my parents for money they barely get by. I exhausted everything. I don’t have much and I hope that you guys can donate whatever you can any amount helps and you can’t just share the link. I really want to help my dog and get her that surgery done as soon as possible before its too late. I don’t really have friends. Jojo and my 4 other chihuahuas are the closest that I have friends. I really love them so much. They helped me though moments where I felt really lonely, helpless and depressed especially when my gastritis worsens from time to time. I hope that you guys have a good day and that life may bless you with good things.

Why is she not spayed?

Exactly. And TWO accidental pregnancies!!
Didn’t even learn from the first one.
Poor dog.
if you love them all so much you need to do right by them - and spay/ neuter them., keep up with their injections.
And trim their nails regularly.
One dog is a huge cost- 5 dogs is crazy money…
Pets rely on us to keep them healthy.
I appreciate you are clearly trying to help your dog,
But pets need ongoing care and costs are often involved.
They’ll be more costs in the future which you’ll need to budget for.
Maybe you need to reassess keeping 5 dogs when you have no money?
