Emergency vet bill for Simba in Laredo
Please help Vishal pay for Simba's emergency treatment at the Laredo Emergency Vet Clinic.
🇺🇸 United States2,749 views
Simba is my senior cat of eleven years. On 11 August we rushed to the Laredo Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,250.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $220 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 the Laredo Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $370
• Medication and follow-up visits: $230
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $650
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

stay strong, Vishal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Manchester.
You're not alone, Vishal. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
