Save Finn: Lucía can't afford the emergency vet
A rescue greyhound named Finn needs orthopedic surgery - a $2,450 bill the family can't cover.

Finn is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 16 April we rushed to San Jose Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,450.
They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond June.
Finn is more than a pet - Finn is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $120 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 San Jose Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Finn's recovery.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,300
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $670
• Medication and follow-up visits: $310
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. All the best.
sending love, Lucía. Give Finn a hug from me. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
