Poppy is my rescue greyhound of eleven years. On 11 June we rushed to the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,450. They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $360 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 the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Poppy's recovery. Where the $1,450 goes: • Hospitalization (3 nights): $470 • Emergency surgery: $810 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170 Thanks for reading all this. - Ellie
