Buddy is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 27 April we rushed to Bakersfield Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,300. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $350 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 Bakersfield Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $1,300 goes: โ€ข Emergency surgery: $740 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $270 โ€ข Hospitalization (3 nights): $290 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Alexa
