<human>: Hello /r/personalfinance,
My wife and I had started our emergency fund but only had ~$4K in it.  We would have had more, but because our health insurance is fortunately very, very good, we thought it would be a better idea to put all extra money towards student loans (which retrospectively was probably not the best idea with only $4K in our emergency fund).  We are a little less than a year to finish them off and our 4-year old dog became sick.  We've put everything in our emergency fund and half of our credit line ($10K - we have a total of 1 credit card that we share) towards the emergency care, but he is not healed yet and there are still an unknown amount of medical bills/medications coming.  Would it be a good idea to request a credit limit increase?  We use our credit card for virtually every purchase and then immediately pay it off.  However, we already know we will be unable to pay everything off this month (but not by that much).  Not paying for any treatment necessary for our dog is not an option.  We are already planning on cutting spending, reducing food costs, etc.., but I am not very knowledgeable on how increasing my credit limit could affect us (in a good or bad way).

Thanks for your help.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
