A three-legged dog named Buddy needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $2,250 bill the family can't cover.

Buddy is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 27 January we rushed to Eugene Animal Hospital with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,250. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $175 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 Eugene Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $2,250 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,700 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $370 • Medication and follow-up visits: $180 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Randall

                Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
