Emergency vet bill for Mocha in Houston
Please help Kevin pay for Mocha's emergency treatment at Houston Veterinary Centre.
🇺🇸 United States1,360 views
Mocha is my rescue greyhound of nine years. On 1 October we rushed to Houston Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $3,300.
They have stabilized Mocha, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Mocha is more than a pet - Mocha is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $270 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Houston Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $2,050
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $750
• Medication and follow-up visits: $270
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
