Save Daisy: Iván can't afford the emergency vet

A three-legged dog named Daisy needs orthopedic surgery - a $3,000 bill the family can't cover.

Daisy is my three-legged dog of six years. On 23 August we rushed to Oakland Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $3,000. They have stabilized Daisy, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Daisy is more than a pet - Daisy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $210 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 Oakland Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Daisy's recovery. Where the $3,000 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,800 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $550 • Medication and follow-up visits: $350 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $300 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Iván

  1. Small update. $1,032 so far, I made the first payment toward diagnostics.

  3. Small update. $431 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
