Emergency vet bill for Rocky in Istanbul
Rocky, Okan's rabbit, needs urgent treatment for a broken leg after a road accident costing $700.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,620 views
Rocky is my rabbit of two years. On 29 August we rushed to Istanbul Animal Hospital with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $700.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $35 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 Istanbul Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $700 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $450
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $100
• Medication and follow-up visits: $80
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $70
Thank you so much.
