Dublin
Poppy is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 5 September we rushed to Dublin Animal Hospital with pyometra. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $850. They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $290 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 Dublin Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $220 โ€ข Hospitalization (2 nights): $420 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $210 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Niall

    Is diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork) the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Niall WalshOwnerAnswer

      Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork) is $220 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Sending good thoughts, Niall. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Greetings from Pune.

    • it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dublin.

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
