Archie is my dog of eleven years. On 16 August we rushed to the Dayton Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,800. They have stabilized Archie, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Archie is more than a pet - Archie walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $280 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to the Dayton Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Archie's recovery. Where the $2,800 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,850 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $185 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $765 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Princess

  1. Small update. $468 so far, the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled.

  3. We're at 4% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
