Willow is my three-legged dog of nine years. On 24 July we rushed to Santos Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $550.
They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Willow is more than a pet - Willow is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $75 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 Santos Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Willow's recovery.
Where the $550 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $80
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $130
• Emergency surgery: $340
Thank you so much.
