40 Gallon Breeder Setup interest?

[koa25]

It pains me to do this. I have a dog that is hospitalized right now and the vet bills are getting up there (even with my girlfriends discount) So I’m trying to be preemptive just encase i need to pull the trigger. I may be selling my 40 breeder setup I just got done with and running a couple months back. Cause I might need the money.

It's a gorgeous tank and was built to be quiet cause it is currently in my bedroom. Not completely unnoticeable. But still way better than most. It has a six bulb retro T5 lights with 2 months use on 4 bulbs and 1 month use on the other two. All Ati bulbs.

If it does sell it will be as a complete setup. Will not be parting out. This is to see if anyone is interested in the tank encase i have to sell.

The custom stand/canopy, new bulbs and reactor cost me what i am asking for the setup alone.

Hope ur pup gets better soon

Greatly appreciated. Bills already up to 880 bucks. They are actually doing exploritory surgery on her right now to see if if maybe she swollowed something and it did damage to her.

You've seen my little hyper Brindle/white dog right (pitbull/boxer mix). You know, the one that constantly jumps up on you and licks you! She got very sick a while back...wouldn't eat or drink, lost a bunch of weight. Dehydrated badly. Took her to the vet almost everyday for a week for IV fluids, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her even after x-rays and blood tests. Sent her for an ultrasound at a specialist in Sonterra, found an obstruction in her belly. $3k later after surgery we found the little monster had eaten a corncob whole. Now she is back to her obnoxious adorable self. Do you think your pooch may have eaten something that it can't digest?

Is she eating and drinking? Puking? Lost weight? Are they cutting in to her, or going in through her mouth? With Holley the obstruction was too far down to go through mouth....they had to cut her tummy. Sorry to get your thread off topic. My wife and I are dog lovers...

rope toys and tennis balls are the worst for blockages also. they were not allowed at the no kill shelter i worked at

[koa25]

Yeah. No rope toys around here. I do remember the dog that was trying to jump into my arms ha ha. No worries about the off topic comments. I appreciate the insight. She was losing it from both ends. Had bloody stool. Lethargic. No appetite or able to hold water down. They tested parvo and all the usuals. Nothing. Exploitory surgery was clear. Nothing out of the normal. Bladder was a little weird they said. But not the cause. They had to cut here open. With the surgery it jumped up well over a grand. But what was awesome is the vet gave us a large break on so much and dropped the total down around 350. So as long as it doesn't sky rocket again i may not have to sell. Appreciate the well wishes.

I'd rather loan you some cash than see you sell the 40...

[Southern Flame]

Glad to hear :) I hate when animals are sick :( praying for speedy recovery and glad nothing horrible was found hopefully pup just had a worm

[koa25]

Appreciate it Ben. I really like the 40. Put a lot into it. But better that then the 92. Thankfully the vet is helping us out a TON and the cost has dropped to a manageable amount. We owe him big time.

I'd rather loan you some cash than see you sell the 40...


-Ben-That's an awesome gesture.

[koa25]

Thanks tiphanie. Just a waiting game now. See how she does over the next couple days.

[ElChicano]

Hope your pup gets better soon, and you dont have to sell that good looking tank.

[koa25]

That's an awesome gesture.
It really was. Just shows how awesome the people are on here.

Mike, which one is it? Never mind, I don't think I would remember.

Just tell me it's not the black and white heeler.

Not one of the heelers. Its the Shepard husky mix. The one all the way to the right. She's a good dog. Trouble maker. But a sweetheart.

[allan]

ah, my favorite is the second from the left. You said he was mentally challenged last time I was over. :)

[koa25]

Yep. He is still a big idiot. Ha ha. I do have to give him credit. He got out once and found his way back that same night. I thought he was a goner. He is doing fine lol.

[allan]

What are you going to do with him when you leave to HI?

[koa25]

Well the far left one and second from the right are coming with me to HI. Margo is taking the other 3. They are hers technically. Margo will not be following me to Hawaii most likely.

[reefreak]

Any fish your trying to get rid of mike? My dads restocking his fowlr.

[rrasco]

He's not getting rid of it! We won't let him!

[Wabbegong]

I'm with Ben! I would rather us help you with vet bill then see you have to sell your setup! Let me know what I can do!

[Wabbegong]

Hey fellow hobbiest! Let's get together and help with vet bill! Pm me and we can get together to get this handled! Or tex(310)834-4504

[Wabbegong]

You have a great heart Ben!

[koa25]

Oh wow. Greatly appreciated Jesse. I have the money thing under control right now. I'll most likely not have to sell the tank. The vets are being really cool about the bill. Very very generous. But unnecessary.

[Zack]

Yeah mike, no selling the tank. If you need a few extra dollars I have an empty 40 breeder never seen water you can have to help pay the bills. I won't be setting it up for a year or two, I'm sure they'll be plenty dollar/ gallon sales to get it back by then.

[Wabbegong]

Ok! I'm glad to hear that! I have two German shorthair and had to spend big cash on one due to a heatstroke caused by him getting out of my yard and running himself into a heatstroke. They are some energetic pups! Love them and know the feeling! If there is anything I can do you know how to get in touch with me.
