Hello, I'm Joshua and I'm looking for some help covering a portion of the costs of my sweet dog Oscar's knee reconstruction surgery. On September 8, my old boy was doing his usual 2 minutes of zoomies before sleeping all day when he started crying and came up lame.

It turns out that he completely ruptured his cruciate ligament and tore his meniscus. Basically, his whole knee is shot and he requires surgery followed by 8 weeks confined to a crate to recover.

Incurring around $7,000 in vet bills (including the urgent care vet, almost $1,000 for his allergy treatment two days before his injury and the surgery itself) would never be easy but this hit at a rough time for me financially.

If money is tight, please don't contribute as I can finance some of the cost with credit cards, but if you could chip in something without hardship, I'd be grateful. Oscar is the heart and soul of my little pack of 3 pooches.

Grateful.
