A rescue greyhound named Max needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,950 bill the family can't cover.

Max is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 15 January we rushed to the Lille Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,950. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Max is more than a pet - Max is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $115 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 the Lille Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,950 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,450 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $360 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $140 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isabelle

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • rooting for you, Isabelle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Isabelle. This could happen to any of us. All the best.

      • Wishing you peace, Isabelle. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

          Wishing you peace. Poor Max, hope they feel better soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Noida

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Bacolod.

            • Keep going. Poor Max, hope they feel better soon. All the best!

              • Thinking of you, Isabelle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care

                • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.

                  • Take care, Isabelle. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

                    • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
