Rocky is my dog of eleven years. On 9 July we rushed to Philadelphia Animal Hospital with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,550. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is the reason I get out of bed. 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 Philadelphia Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Rocky's recovery. Where the $2,550 goes: โ€ข Emergency surgery: $1,650 โ€ข Hospitalization (2 nights): $410 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $330 โ€ข Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $160 Thanks for reading all this. - Nolan

          Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Paris.

          • Sending good thoughts, Nolan. Give Rocky a hug from me

            • Good luck, Nolan. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. It's not much but it's yours.
