Teddy is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 2 August we rushed to the Amiens Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,600. They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $210 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 Amiens Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Teddy's recovery. Where the $1,600 goes: • Hospitalization (2 nights): $300 • Medication and follow-up visits: $125 • Emergency surgery: $1,175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Martine
