San Diego
Luna is my three-legged dog of nine years. On 11 August we rushed to the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,750. They have stabilized Luna, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Luna is more than a pet - Luna got me through my hardest year. I have already put $310 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 San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Luna's recovery. Where the $1,750 goes: • Emergency surgery: $850 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $370 • Medication and follow-up visits: $170 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $360 Thank you for reading my story. - Santiago

    Hope things get better soon, Santiago. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Diego.
