Emergency vet bill for Willow in Oakland
Please help Emery pay for Willow's emergency treatment at Oakland Animal Hospital.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States1,390 views
Willow is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 9 January we rushed to Oakland Animal Hospital with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,050.
They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond March.
Willow is more than a pet - Willow walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $320 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 Oakland Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Willow's recovery.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $680
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $870
• Medication and follow-up visits: $270
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

keep going, Emery. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Oakland.
Hang in there, Emery. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Oakland.
give Willow a hug from me. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
take care. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Oakland.
sending strength. Shared this with my family. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care
