1/My dog Tommy died this morning, tied to a window bar in our home, while that vet pulled blood from him. He was seven. He was my child. 🧵 2/ He came to us after a storm, all skin and bone, with crooked legs. He walked my father at 5 a.m. every day. When my father died, he never took that walk again. When I had a stroke, he woke me with a lick on my palm. 3/ A small patch near his tail. For a year, it was "a skin infection." Renowned vets. Expensive lotions. Shampoos. Medicines. ₹30,000. Every one gave a diagnosis. None gave proof. No blood report. No sonography. The real disease stayed hidden underneath. 4/ Then his face went blank. Then the seizures. One night, 11 p.m.: about fifteen cluster seizures in twelve hours. I called every vet I could find. Some ignored the phone. Some said come back in a week. 5/ Arham Foundation stayed on the call with us and sent us to a public vet. Only then did the bloodwork happen. Chronic kidney disease. Babesiosis. Hypothyroidism. A year late. By then he had stopped eating, had gone two days without water, and wouldn't let anyone touch him. 6/ I started two fundraisers, one on GoFundMe and one on Milaap none filled up not even one contribution. Both platforms add heavy charges on donors. In an emergency, these pages mostly move for people who already have their own funds raised.We were left in crunch . 7/ We had no one to help us draw the sample and take it to the hospital, so we called that same vet, the one who had missed it, to come home. This morning, he tied Tommy to the window bar and held him down for blood. Five minutes later, my Tommy was still. Only my mother and I were there. 8/ Due to my BVVL syndrome I couldn't catch what the vets said at the door, in the corridor or over the phone. I needed it written down, and nobody wrote anything. No vaccination record. No test schedule. No list of what was injected into him. The doctor was never in a loop with us. Neither were we. A year of "care," and not one page a family could hold up. 9/ A findable disease ran for a year because nothing forced the test. A night seizure has no door to knock on. Money only comes to those who already have it. In law, pets are still property. Cruelty is still priced in small change. 10/ Arham Foundation's ambulance team helped us give Tommy a dignified last rite. Their help and guidance are why I can finally see these gaps for what they are. Thank you for treating him, and us, with respect when nobody else did. 11/ I'm mourning my child. I'm saying this because the next parent will stand in the same room at 11 p.m., holding a phone no one answers. Seven years. My baby. Gone just like that. No Tommy should ever have to face this again nor should a pet parent. 12/ If your pet seized at 11 p.m. tonight, who would you call? Would anyone pick up? Would anyone tell you the cost, or write down what was done to them? And if you genuinely can't afford it, where do you go for emergency money? Who actually helps, and how fast? I didn't find that answer in time n it cost me a life .
