Rocky is my rabbit of nine years. On 9 February we rushed to Minneapolis Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,700. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $240 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 Minneapolis Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,700 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,250 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $750 • Medication and follow-up visits: $290 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $410 Glad we found this place.
