Emergency vet bill for Hazel in Philadelphia
A rabbit named Hazel needs emergency surgery - a $1,650 bill the family cannot cover.
🇺🇸 United States984 views
Hazel is my rabbit of nine years. On 12 August we rushed to Philadelphia Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,650.
They have stabilized Hazel, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Hazel is more than a pet - Hazel is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $340 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 Philadelphia Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Hazel's recovery.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $890
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $320
• Medication and follow-up visits: $340
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $100
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going, Sebastian. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Sebastian. Give Hazel a hug from me. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Bengaluru.
