Affordable euthanasia/lung cancer update

I posted the other day looking for affordable euthanasia options. Shes been doing well and we are hoping to prepare before she starts to decline. I should have the money in exactly a week. But as of this morning her breathing is rapid and a little labored. CareCredit is maxed out. Waiting on vet to fill a steroid that may help, but not sure if it will happen before 2 o clock.

Anyone have a breathing treatment nebulizer and m3dicine i could borrow?

We don't have the money to take her in to the clinic atm. Was hoping to keep her comfortable for at least another week to be able to afford the end of life treatment as things progress.

Affordable in-home euthanasia and aftercare?

We are seeking affordable euthanasia and aftercare for our 14yo standard poodle after the vet found a lung cancer mass.

We took her to the vet Saturday to check for UTI and liver function after she was having some related symptoms. She has a history of liver disease but has been doing excellent for a year and a half after switching to a home cooked diet. Vet pulled blood and urine and recommended xrays to check out her organs visually while waiting for results.

Labs came back showing normal organ function but xrays revealed a very large cancerous mass in her chest. We noticed she has been slowing down a little lately on walks and is panting within 5 minutes of being outside but attributed it to old age and extreme heat. We did not know she has lost about 8 lbs since November and now know the shortness of breath and low energy are related to the cancer.

We are hoping to at least get a few more months before she starts to really decline as she seems to be doing really well. More time to spend with her, and to allow us to save up for euthanasia and cremation so she can go peacefully. She still gets excited for her food, greets us at the door, shows interest in all of her favorite things. But as of this morning her breathing seems a little labored and raspy and while I dont think the time is now I know we need to be ready at a moments notice.

We would prefer to have it done in home as the vet stresses her out but if money puts that out of the question for us then we will accept in clinic.

The vet visit this weekend put our care credit card at max as we're still paying off the costs of our other dogs lymphoma and euthanasia last year. I don't have the $600ish on hand for in-home euthanasia and cremation with the cheapest provider I've found. (Paws in Paradise Killeen).

So I'm here asking if any of you know of a clinic offering this at a more affordable option, or of any other resources we may use to help our golden girl/mini horse have a peaceful exit from this plane.

Exhaust flange gasket part no

I am struggling to find the correct replacement here.

This connects to the flex pipe section that runs horizontal under the car(resonator?) between that and the pipe that comes from the engine compartment.(cats?)

​

Anyone know the correct part number? It is not the walker 31337 or fel-pro 61811

Inside diameter is about 2.25" and bolt spacing is 3.5"

▲ 3 r/bugbites+1 crossposts

These bites are on my upper ribs. Ive got a couple on my ankles and back. My son has them on his legs, groin, torso and back. First picture is the day I noticed them on me, next pics are 2-3 days later.

My thought is fleas or chiggers. We have one dog and a carpeted apartment but have not visibly seen or felt any fleas. All bedding has been washed and checked, no sign of bed bugs. My son recently got a sand box with bagged play sand, and he wanders through the brushy areas of our hiking trail quite a bit. Im thinking maybe he brought some chiggers home and they ate us up before they died?
