Emergency vet bill for Pixel in Scranton
A three-legged dog named Pixel needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,950 bill the family can't cover.

Pixel is my three-legged dog of six years. On 27 August we rushed to Scranton Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,950.
They have stabilized Pixel, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Pixel is more than a pet - Pixel walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $240 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 Scranton Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Pixel's recovery.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,100
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $390
• Medication and follow-up visits: $150
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $310
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

praying for you. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My neighbor in Málaga donated after I showed her your page. Love from Málaga.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Scranton.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Scranton
Thank you. If you're in Scranton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best!

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Greetings from Soweto
So sorry you're going through this, Laura. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Poor Pixel, hope they feel better soon. Take care.
this could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
