Quoting%20commentary for Chagigah 16:7

מאי קאמר ליה אילימא הכי קאמר ליה הרי אמרו טופלין בהמה לבהמה אבל לא מעות למעות ולימא ליה אין טופלין מעות למעות אלא הכי אמר ליה הרי אמרו אף טופלין בהמה לבהמה

What was [R. Sheshet] saying to him [with this objection]? If you'll say he meant this: "Behold, they say, They may [only] supplement animals with animals, but not money with money," then he should have said to him, "They do not supplement money with money." Rather this is what he said to him: Behold, they say, They may even supplement animals with animals! [The objection being is that you, R. Chisda, implied that one may only mix monies, but you can even mix animal funds!]
