Milo is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 14 August we rushed to the Palmira Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $550. They have stabilized Milo, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Milo is more than a pet - Milo got me through my hardest year. 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. Funds will be paid straight to the Palmira Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Milo's recovery. Where the $550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $240 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $220 • Medication and follow-up visits: $30 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60 I hope life is good to you.
