Save Teddy: Walter can't afford the emergency vet
A dog named Teddy needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $2,650 bill the family cannot cover.
🇺🇸 United States869 views
Teddy is my dog of six years. On 27 August we rushed to the Los Angeles Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,650.
They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $150 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 Los Angeles Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Teddy's recovery.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,900
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $350
• Medication and follow-up visits: $210
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $190
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts, Walter. Hope you get there. Greetings from Abbottabad.
Hang in there. Poor Teddy, hope they feel better soon
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Walter
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. emergency surgery is the biggest at $1,900. Happy to explain more.
Hope the recovery goes smoothly. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Tampa
Wishing you the best, Walter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bucaramanga.
wishing you the best. Poor Teddy, hope they feel better soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Cebu City!
Thinking of you, Walter. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Praying for you, Walter. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
