Fundraiser for Balu's Legal Expenses Due to Vet Malpractice

Hi, my name is Valerija, and I am raising funds to cover legal expenses following the tragic death of my beloved dog, Balu, due to veterinary malpractice. Any additional funds raised will be donated to local dog rescues.

On Sunday, July 14th, at around 6:00 am, I brought Balu to the veterinary emergency clinic for a bowel obstruction. The clinic recommended immediate surgery, which was performed around 4:00 pm the same day. They informed me that the surgery went well, but a section of his bowel was left in a compromised state to be monitored.

That evening, I was not allowed to see Balu as he was recovering. The following morning, I was told he was recovering well but had vomited after eating their treats. Concerned, I brought him homemade ground beef, and when I visited, he was wagging his tail and had walked for the staff. However, he later developed diarrhea from the treats despite my instructions to avoid them.

I visited again that night at around midnight, and Balu was completely unresponsive due to heavy sedation for tests and catheter changes. (That’s what I was told) The staff claimed he was interacting well with them, but my concerns grew as his condition seemed to worsen.

On July 16th, I was told he could be discharged later that day, but when I arrived, he was in a severely deteriorated state—unable to recognize me, lift his head, or urinate. The staff attributed his condition to heavy sedation and “depression” and advised us to wait for it to wear off.

By 10:00 pm, we took Balu to another emergency clinic. Tests revealed he had septic peritonitis due to a ruptured incision. Despite emergency surgery, he succumbed to cardiac arrest the following morning.

Balu was a vibrant, healthy, and loving fur baby. His death has left a profound void in my life, and I am heartbroken. He was never just a dog, he is my best friend and my life will never be the same without him. A piece of my heart is always taken away with him.

I am determined to seek justice for Balu and ensure no other pet suffers due to negligence.

I am fundraising to cover the legal expenses involved in this case. Your support will help me in this fight for justice and honor Balu's memory. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
