Rosie's a ruptured cruciate ligament: help with the vet bill
A three-legged dog named Rosie needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $500 bill the family cannot cover.

Rosie is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 19 September we rushed to Buenos Aires Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Rosie, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Rosie is more than a pet - Rosie walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $70 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 Buenos Aires Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $250
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $170
• Medication and follow-up visits: $30
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $50
With deep gratitude,
Héctor

we've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Don't give up. Love from Kadıköy.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Buenos Aires.
Thank you. If you're in Buenos Aires I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. All the best
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Héctor
Emergency surgery is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Héctor. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Sent it to 39 people at work. Greetings from Syracuse
Thinking of you, Héctor. Give Rosie a hug from me. God bless
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Héctor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Hang in there, Héctor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Héctor. Poor Rosie, hope they feel better soon!
You're not alone, Héctor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Buenos Aires
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 15 people at work
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work. All the best
