Ollie is my rabbit of six years. On 3 June we rushed to Tokyo Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,000. They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie got me through my hardest year. I have already put $165 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 Tokyo Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,000 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,150 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $460 • Medication and follow-up visits: $115 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $275 With deep gratitude, Tomoko

  • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Good luck, Tomoko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Tomoko. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Tokyo.
