Buddy is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 7 September we rushed to London Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,850. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $270 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 London Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,850 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,800 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $720 • Medication and follow-up visits: $105 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $225 Thank you for reading my story. - Silas

        We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from El Paso.
