Poppy is my three-legged dog of three years. On 9 September we rushed to the Alcalá de Henares Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,250. They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $145 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 the Alcalá de Henares Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Poppy's recovery. Where the $1,250 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $80 • Emergency surgery: $960 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $210 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mateo

            You're not alone, Mateo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
