Emergency vet bill for Simba in Dallas
Please help Douglas pay for Simba's emergency treatment at Dallas Veterinary Centre.
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States1,606 views
Simba is my tabby kitten of six years. On 21 May we rushed to Dallas Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $3,150.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond July.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $340 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 Dallas Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Simba's recovery.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $2,250
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $490
• Medication and follow-up visits: $180
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this. Poor Simba, hope they feel better soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
How is Douglas doing now?
your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
what exactly is the $3,150 for?
Sure. The biggest one is emergency surgery, $2,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this, Douglas. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Love from Los Angeles.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 32 people at work. Take care
keep going. Hope this works out for you. All the best
