Scottie's Emergency Veterinary Surgery Bill

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Iris. My partner and I recently adopted our sweet 4-month furry boy, Scottie, a little less than a month ago. He has been a well-behaved, healthy, playful pup with a very loving home and even has some regular furry friends.

Unfortunately, Scottie got into an accident today when he fell very hard on the ground. We immediately noticed something was wrong when Scottie was unable to walk and started yelping like never before. My partner immediately rushed Scottie to the emergency department where he had imaging done and we found out that he fractured his calcaneus/heel and had a ruptured Achilles. He had a same-day consult with the orthopedic vet who informed us that he needed surgery right away due to the nature of his injury and to avoid future complications.

The thing is...his vet bill is coming out to upwards of $10,000 on top of the $900 we have already paid for imaging. We had been considering pet insurance but with our busy school schedules and lives, we had not done so yet. We have only had Scottie for a bit more than 3 weeks and deeply regret not purchasing insurance earlier though it might have taken a while for the policy to kick in anyway. Sadly, we are unable to purchase insurance now that he is already badly injured and will have to pay out of pocket for some pins/plate and rehab.

Those of you who are pet parents can probably understand that there's nothing we wouldn't do for our pups and we want nothing but the best possible care for Scottie. We hate to put this burden on anyone since our puppy is our responsibility, but as we are both students with debt of our own and little to no disposable income, it is extremely hard for us to put together the funds for this much-needed surgery. We are kindly asking for support in any way whether that is through donating, sharing, or even praying (if you practice that). It hurts us immensely to see our boy in such pain, and we appreciate anything and everything. Thank you for reading this far.
