Emergency vet bill for Nala in Los Angeles

Nala is my rabbit of nine years. On 12 April we rushed to Los Angeles Veterinary Centre with pyometra. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,250. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Nala is more than a pet - Nala is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Los Angeles Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,250 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,300 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $860 • Medication and follow-up visits: $90 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Kennedy?

    • Rooting for you, Kennedy. Give Nala a hug from me. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

      • Best of luck, Kennedy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Kennedy. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          • good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Erie
