Emergency vet bill for Nala in Tiruchirappalli
Nala, Bharath's dog, needs urgent treatment for bloat costing $300.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India1,086 views
Nala is my dog of six years. On 4 August we rushed to Tiruchirappalli Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $300.
They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Nala is more than a pet - Nala is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $55 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 Tiruchirappalli Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $155
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $75
• Medication and follow-up visits: $25
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bharath.
It's all in the list in the story. emergency surgery is the big one at $155, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Poor Nala, hope they feel better soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Stay strong, Bharath. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Stay strong, Bharath. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Worcester.
