Help Pay Atlas’ Vet Bills

On Tuesday, November 21st, my 9lb. chihuahua Atlas was brutally attacked and was almost killed by a 40lb. English bulldog. I rushed him to the nearest pet emergency clinic where I was presented with at $3200 estimate that I could not afford to pay for. Thankfully, in less then 12 hours I could have him at the clinic I work at and have everything done at cost, drastically reducing that initial bill.
As it stands right now, Atlas’ current vet bills are at $1550, but new charges are occurring everyday. I’ve had to drain the wound daily, need to add in another course of antibiotics & pain medications, had to run a culture & sensitivity because the wound pocket is filling up with puss, and those are just the recent charges in the last couple of days with more to probably come.
I’m setting a goal to raise $3000 to cover everything possible plus anything that may occur in the near future.
Many of you potential donors are probably wondering why the owners of the bulldog will be paying any of the bill. The answer is I really don’t know. They have been presented with an invoice but I feel they will skip out on the bill. I have threatened to take them to court but that can be a long drawn out process. Because it is a neighbor I also fear that they may do other malicious stuff to my dogs or my property, since they say that the entire attack was hearsay.
So I’ve created this page to take care of Atlas’ vet bills and insure that he gets the best care possible and a speedy recovery.
I ask for any monetary amount that you can spare, $1, $5, $10, any amount will help. Atlas & I both thank you in advance for your support and for your time.
