Save Rocky: Roman can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Roman pay for Rocky's emergency treatment at the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States1,733 views
Rocky is my rescue greyhound of three years. On 28 July we rushed to the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,550.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky got me through my hardest year. I have already put $105 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 San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Rocky's recovery.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,800
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $560
• Medication and follow-up visits: $190
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Roman. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Give Rocky a hug from me. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Zagazig.
Stay strong, Roman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Sheffield.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Yonkers this morning.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Roman?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about emergency surgery, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
