Rocky is my rescue greyhound of three years. On 9 June we rushed to New Orleans Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,500. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $350 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 New Orleans Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,500 goes: • Hospitalization (3 nights): $660 • Medication and follow-up visits: $150 • Emergency surgery: $690 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
