Save Nala: Usha can't afford the emergency vet

A rabbit named Nala needs emergency surgery - a $400 bill the family can't cover.

Nala is my rabbit of thirteen years. On 20 June we rushed to Varanasi Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $400. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Nala is more than a pet - Nala walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $35 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 Varanasi Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $400 goes: • Emergency surgery: $270 • Medication and follow-up visits: $35 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $95 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Usha

  1. Small update. $67 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Small update. $50 so far, the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Usha

    • Usha G. SidhuOwnerAnswer

      Emergency surgery is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 11 people at work!

    • Wishing you peace, Usha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

      • Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

        • best of luck, Usha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless

            Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care

            • Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Worcester this morning. Blessings.
