Save Rocky: Farah can't afford the emergency vet
A rescue greyhound named Rocky needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $850 bill the family can't cover.

Rocky is my rescue greyhound of nine years. On 9 September we rushed to Saint-Étienne Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $850.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $280 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 Saint-Étienne Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $850 goes:
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $520
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $120
• Medication and follow-up visits: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Saint-Étienne
Hope things get better soon, Farah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
You're not alone, Farah. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Sending love, Farah. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Farah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Good luck, Farah. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.
Best of luck, Farah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
wishing you peace, Farah. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Love from Dayton.
Good luck, Farah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
you're not alone, Farah. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
